In films and computer games violence has become more popular. Some people think this has negative effects on society, other think it is harmless relaxation. Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.

Pupils can accomplish more in

school

if they are praised rather than reprimanded. In my opinion, I strongly agree with rewarding students because

this

can motivate them.

Firstly

,

this

essay will discuss the advantages in recognising

student

achievement and

secondly

, how a

reward

system can affect

student

learning. On the one hand, praising students and recognising their achievements, whether

to

Suggestion

in

the

class

or whole

school

can install enthusiasm and motivation in the

student

to progress

further

. The students may push themselves, to do more and achieve higher because they know that it brings rewards, either in the form of praise from a teacher or in other rewards, like

school

visits.

For instance

, The Department of Education in the UK in 2017 reported that 98% of public

school

teachers often used

reward

systems to motivate their students in the

class

.

On the other hand

, having a

reward

system in place can bring about competition between students, to get higher grades than their peers.

This

can motivate learners to study more and participate in

class

, in order to get whatever

reward

is on offer. If the

student

can gain an accolade for their project or from participating in

school

activities, they are more likely to work harder.

For instance

, a

school

in Sheffield in the UK offered a

reward

to a group of students who participated in the 2017 international science fair, promising a visit from a well-known speaker for their

next

lecture if they won

first

prize. In my opinion, I strongly believe that rewarding students

is

Suggestion

are

far better than punishing them.

This

is a very effective tool in gaining the trust of the students and motivating them to learn. They are more likely to be an active member of the

class

when they know a

reward

is possible.

For example

, in my own experience, a

school

teacher I had used chocolate and candy rewards in

class

, during activities that required whole

class

participation.

This

greatly excited the students as they all wanted a treat to enjoy in

class

. In conclusion, learning should be fun and punishments can be

demotivating

at times,

this

can scar a

student

for a long time. Schools should definitely introduce praise and

reward

giving in exchange for increased

student

participation and motivation.
