Podcasts about rewards the trouble

Josh Eyler shares even more problems with grades on episode 533 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Quotes from the episode Being a dad who is an educator takes things from the academic and intellectual and brings them immediately to the surface, to the real world and to the real consequences for students and families. -Josh Eyler The conflict between what we think and what we value and what we want for our kids and what the world and our school systems say are important can sometimes be almost irreconcilable. -Josh Eyler We need to create environments that will cultivate intrinsic motivation. -Josh Eyler In situations where grades are given, students tend to be more fearful of making mistakes. They produce more behaviors of trying to get the grade rather than learning. -Josh Eyler Grades are not objective accurate measurements of learning according to this research. -Josh Eyler If grades don't measure what they're supposed to measure, why are we using them, and why are we putting so much pressure on them? -Josh Eyler Resources Failing Our Future: How Grades Harm Students, and What We Can Do about It, by Josh Eyler How Humans Learn: The Science and Stories Behind Effective College Teaching, by Josh Eyler Kariann Fuqua Mind Over Monsters: Supporting Youth Mental Health with Compassionate Challenge, by Sara Rose Cavanaugh Coaching for Leaders Episode 310: How to Reduce Drama With Kids, with Tina Payne Bryson Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most (Revised), by Douglas Stone & Sheila Heen* The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne* Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A'S, Praise, and Other Bribes, by Alfie Kohn* A meta-analysis on the impact of grades and comments on academic motivation and achievement: A case for written feedback, by Alison Koenka, et al.

In den gegenwärtigen Erziehungssystemen und der Arbeitswelt wird Verhalten meist mittels einer manipulativen Sprache mit Lohn und Strafe gelenkt. Doch dadurch kann die Freude am Tun vergehen und die Konkurrenz untereinander nimmt zu. Im Buddhismus dagegen wird Wert auf die Qualität der Kommunikation gelegt. Bereits vor 800 Jahren beschreibt Dôgen die freundliche, gütige Rede als eine der vier allumfassenden Methoden eines Bodhisattva. Dabei wird beim Zusammentreffen mit Lebewesen zunächst Mitgefühl entwickelt, um fürsorgliche und liebevolle Worte zu sprechen. Eine solche Ausdrucksweise bezeichnet Marshall Rosenberg im Rahmen der gewaltfreien Kommunikation als das wirkungsvollste Mittel, um zu einer friedlichen Lösung von Konflikten zu kommen. Allerdings beginnt das Herbeiführen friedlicher Veränderungen mit dem Arbeiten an unserer eigenen Haltung, wie wir uns selbst und andere sehen. Diese Basisarbeit erfordert große Offenheit und Ehrlichkeit, damit sich eine sprachliche Ausdrucksfähigkeit entwickelt, mit der die tief verwurzelten Lernerfahrungen überwunden werden, die auf Belohnung, Strafe und Scham basieren. Dieser Weg ist vielleicht nicht einfach, aber die Ergebnisse sind alle Anstrengungen wert. Oder wie Dôgen es ausdrückt: Wir sollten verstehen, dass freundliche Sprache die Macht hat, das Schicksal der ganzen Welt zu drehen.

Chapter 1 What's Punished by Rewards Book by Alfie Kohn"Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes" is a book written by Alfie Kohn. In this book, Kohn challenges the common practice of using rewards as motivation and explores the negative consequences that rewards can have on individuals, particularly in educational and workplace settings. He argues that rewards, whether they are tangible (such as gold stars and trophies) or intangible (such as praise and grades), often undermine intrinsic motivation, creativity, and long-term achievement. Kohn suggests alternative approaches to motivation and encourages readers to reevaluate their reliance on rewards.Chapter 2 Is Punished by Rewards Book A Good BookOpinions on whether a book is "good" can vary depending on personal preferences and beliefs. However, many readers and experts consider "Punished by Rewards" by Alfie Kohn to be a valuable and thought-provoking book. Kohn challenges the commonly held belief that rewards and punishments are effective methods for motivating people, both in educational and workplace environments. Instead, he presents research and data that suggest rewards can actually be detrimental to motivation, creativity, and overall well-being. Readers praise the book for its insightful analysis and ability to challenge traditional thinking. Kohn's argument prompts a reevaluation of the use of rewards and offers alternative approaches, such as fostering intrinsic motivation and emphasizing autonomy. However, it's important to note that the book may challenge some deeply ingrained beliefs about rewards and punishments. Therefore, whether it is considered a "good" book may depend on the reader's openness to alternative ideas and willingness to critically evaluate their own practices.Chapter 3 Punished by Rewards Book by Alfie Kohn SummaryThe book "Punished by Rewards" by Alfie Kohn explores the effects of reward-based systems on human behavior and motivation. Kohn argues that rewards, such as prizes, bonuses, or praise, can actually be counterproductive and lead to negative consequences in the long run.Kohn begins by challenging the common notion that rewards are effective in motivating individuals. He presents evidence from various studies that suggest rewards can actually undermine intrinsic motivation and decrease performance, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.The author also criticizes the use of rewards in the education system, arguing that they create a superficial interest in learning instead of fostering a genuine love for knowledge. He suggests that educators should focus on creating meaningful and engaging learning experiences that encourage autonomy and intrinsic motivation instead of relying on external rewards.Furthermore, Kohn addresses the negative impact of rewards in the workplace. He argues that monetary incentives can devalue work and decrease job satisfaction, ultimately leading to reduced productivity and employee burnout. He also examines the potential harmful effects of rewards in parenting, asserting that they can hinder the development of a child's self-regulation skills and moral reasoning.Throughout the book, Kohn offers alternative approaches to motivation and behavior, such as fostering a sense of autonomy, promoting collaboration, and providing opportunities for self-direction. He emphasizes the importance of intrinsic motivation, intrinsic satisfaction, and autonomy over external rewards."Punished by Rewards" challenges the traditional view of motivation and offers a thought-provoking critique of reward-based systems. Kohn encourages readers to reevaluate their reliance on rewards and consider alternative...

Kindererziehung ohne Belohnung und Bestrafung Heute haben wir Verena Ohn zu Gast. Sie ist verheiratet und Mutter von drei Kindern. Aus der eigenen schmerzhaften Erkenntnis gewaltvolle Muster in sich zu tragen, hat sie sich im Bezug auf Kindererziehung auf die Suche nach Lösungenbegeben. Sie wollte mit der eigenen Wut und Hilflosigkeit umgehen lernen und wieder Freude am Familienleben haben.  Über das Lesen von Büchern  - siehe Empfehlungen unten - hat sie den Weg zur Gewaltfreien Kommunikation gefunden. Seitdem lebt sie das nicht nur in ihrer Familie, sondern gibt ihr Wissen auch mit viel Enthusiasmus und Liebe Eltern und Mitarbeitenden in Kindertagesstätten weiter.  Dies erfährst Du in dieser Episode: - Wie leicht Kinder (sprachlich) erreicht werden können. - Warum es auf die Haltung ankommt und nicht auf die einzelnen Worte.  - Wie Familien von einer respektvollen Umgang miteinander profitieren können. - Warum Missionieren weder sinnvoll noch dienlich ist.  - Warum GFK nicht zwingend eine reine Kommunikationsmethode, sondern vor allem eine Persönlichkeitsentwicklung darstellt.  - Warum es wichtig ist, auch milde mit sich selbst zu sein.  - Welche Veränderungen durch GFK in Familien möglich sind.  - u.v.m. Höre also gerne rein, wenn Du mehr erfahren magst. ;)  Kontakt zu Verena:  "https://verenaohn.de/ Verena Ohn - Gewaltfreie Kommunikation Buchempfehlungen: "https://www.amazon.de/Liebe-Eigenst%C3%A4ndigkeit-bedingungsloser-Elternschaft-Bestrafung/dp/386781015X/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=1W7QTF1YHY5W4&keywords=alfie+kohn&qid=1659078310&sprefix=alfi+kohn%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-1 Liebe und Eigenständigkeit: Die Kunst bedingungsloser Elternschaft, jenseits von Belohnung und Bestrafung : Alfie Kohn, Cordula Kolarik: Amazon.de: Bücher "https://www.amazon.de/Punished-Rewards-Trouble-Incentive-Praise/dp/B073K8VG76/ref=sr_1_4?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=1W7QTF1YHY5W4&keywords=alfie+kohn&qid=1659078239&sprefix=alfi+kohn%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-4 Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes (Hörbuch-Download): Alfie Kohn, Alfie Kohn, Tantor Audio: Amazon.de: Audible Hörbücher & Originals "https://www.amazon.de/Mythos-verw%C3%B6hnten-Kindes-Erziehungsl%C3%BCgen-genommen/dp/3407857578/ref=sr_1_3?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=1W7QTF1YHY5W4&keywords=alfie+kohn&qid=1659078310&sprefix=alfi+kohn%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-3 Der Mythos des verwöhnten Kindes: Erziehungslügen unter die Lupe genommen : Kohn, Alfie, Nohl, Andreas: Amazon.de: Bücher "https://www.amazon.de/Familienkonferenz-L%C3%B6sung-Konflikten-zwischen-Eltern/dp/3453602323/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=TWH7Z24VO26J&keywords=thomas+gordon+familienkonferenz&qid=1659078371&sprefix=thomas+gordon+familienkonferenz%2Caps%2C77&sr=8-1 Familienkonferenz: Die Lösung von Konflikten zwischen Eltern und Kind : Gordon, Thomas: Amazon.de: Bücher "https://www.amazon.de/Die-Neue-Familienkonferenz-erziehen-strafen/dp/3453602331/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=TWH7Z24VO26J&keywords=thomas+gordon+familienkonferenz&qid=1659078414&sprefix=thomas+gordon+familienkonferenz%2Caps%2C77&sr=8-2 Die Neue Familienkonferenz: Kinder erziehen ohne zu strafen : Gordon, Thomas: Amazon.de: Bücher "https://www.amazon.de/Familienkonferenz-Praxis-Konflikte-Kindern-gel%C3%B6st/dp/345360234X/ref=pd_bxgy_img_sccl_2/261-8131620-8882730?pd_rd_w=yKjcq&content-id=amzn1.sym.d73f5cbf-8a37-4392-ae93-64a1b1ea1887&pf_rd_p=d73f5cbf-8a37-4392-ae93-64a1b1ea1887&pf_rd_r=P07Y7DEJ9ZCSCKFH3CHB&pd_rd_wg=rTp5m&pd_rd_r=87343db3-98fa-48df-94fa-5a0f10d22928&pd_rd_i=345360234X&psc=1 Familienkonferenz in der Praxis: Wie Konflikte mit Kindern gelöst werden : Gordon, Thomas: Amazon.de: Bücher "https://www.amazon.de/Basispaket-Gewaltfreie-Kommunikation-Kommunikation-Selbststudium/dp/3955716139/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&crid=2WPFZTAO9JD56&keywords=Eine+Sprache+des+Lebens&qid=1659081751&s=books&sprefix=eine+sprache+des+lebens%2Cstripbooks%2C74&sr=1-2 Basispaket Gewaltfreie Kommunikation - Grundlagen + Training: Bundle aus: Marshall B.

Alfie Kohn is a prolific author and expert on the psychological and organizational effects of rewards, incentives and competition. As a longtime fan of his thinking and writing, it was a huge treat (no pun intended) for me to talk with him about the counterproductive impact of incentive systems in the workplace. In 2018, the 25th Anniversary Edition of Kohn's superb book, Punished by Rewards—The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes was released. In the years since the original publication, other experts piled on scholarly articles and best-selling books confirming the deleterious effects of financial rewards—especially when critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration are needed. But alas, organizational leaders continue to fuel the swarms of compensation consultants who promise to tweak the organization's existing incentive system into an even better incentive-based compensation scheme. You know, into one that actually works…We discuss intrinsic motivation, which is when motivation arises from within and there is inherent satisfaction in performing a task. And Mr. Kohn contrasts that with extrinsic motivation, when behavior is performed because of outside causes such as rewards or to avoid punishment. Rewards, like punishment, increase compliance and diminish intrinsic motivation which creates reliance on extrinsic motivation in order to perform. Alfie Kohn points to the fact that attaching an incentive signals the undesirability of a task and thus devalues it. Incentives or rewards are also control mechanisms, and people inherently do not like being controlled by others or manipulated into performing tasks.And how does a BSM (business school mindset) contribute to the prevalence of incentive compensation systems? By definition, the BSM relies on control, measurement and comparison. Alfie Kohn describes a parallel in the education sector with increased reliance on the sterile formulations of economists to apply measurement and mathematical models to teachers and students. He rails against this relentless tendency of those in charge to “do things to” people instead of choosing more democratic methods of “working with” others in an organization. In This Episode:•Gadfly—a person who interferes with the status quo of a society or community by posing novel, potentially upsetting questions, usually directed at those in power•Perverse incentive—an incentive that results in making the issue worse (if you're in healthcare you'll have no difficulty coming up with examples)•Rewards do motivate because they motivate people to go after more rewards (see perverse incentives…)•Competition—in order for one person to “win” he must defeat another and this is deadly for collaboration•Frederick Herzberg—Alfie Kohn cites this author of one of my favorite classic articles (One More Time—How Do You Motivate Employees? Harvard Business Review)Meet Alfie KohnAlfie Kohn is the author of 14 books, including NO CONTEST: The Case Against Competition and PUNISHED BY REWARDS. In addition to his many writings on education and parenting, his articles on management include "Why Incentive Plans Cannot Work" in the Harvard Business Review and "Competition versus Excellence" in the New York Times. Fortune magazine has called Kohn “America's most biting critic of money as motivator.” He has keynoted conferences across North America and abroad, as well as presenting at such organizations as AT&T, BMW, Dial, Mattel, NASA, and Pfizer. Kohn lives (actually) in the Boston area and (virtually) at alfiekohn.org.Alfie Kohn's Website: https://www.alfiekohn.org/Alfie Kohn's appearance on Oprah with a demonstration of the effects of incentives on teenagers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6wwReKUYmwOne More Time—How Do You Motivate Employees? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yOLNSj54DG8GDPJbGBn93RR3lhoXMR7r/view?usp=sharingSIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER: https://bit.ly/LicensedToLeadSignup

Tony and Kara discuss the book Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn, whose previous work includes "Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes". Though Unconditional Parenting was Kohn's 10th book, it was his first focused entirely on parenting. Unconditional Parenting reviews the shortcomings of Behaviorism and other efforts to control our children's behavior and focuses instead on understanding and acceptance.

This week, Dan Neumann is excited to be joined by Johanna Rothman — also known as the Pragmatic Manager. Johanna is a management consultant for managers and leaders. She helps leaders identify their problems and seize the opportunities that they know exist — but just can’t find yet. She also provides assessments, workshops and training, coaching, speaking, and facilitation. Additionally, Johanna is also an author of some incredible books on the topics of amplifying your effectiveness, hiring, management, agility, scaling collaboration, and more.   Most recently, Johanna released a triad of management books called, Modern Management Made Easy. These three books are Practical Ways to Manage Yourself, Practical Ways to Lead and Serve — Manage — Others, and Practical Ways to Lead an Innovative Organization.   In their conversation today, Johanna unpacks these three books and shares some of the key pieces of information you will want to know as a manager or leader in managing and leading yourself, others, and an innovative organization.   Key Takeaways Johanna’s Modern Management Made Easy Book Series: Practical Ways to Manage Yourself Practical Ways to Lead and Serve — Manage — Others Practical Ways to Lead an Innovative Organization Key lessons from Practical Ways to Manage Yourself: “Managing oneself” myth: “I must solve the team’s problems for the team” As a manager, you can’t solve your team’s problems or “inflict help”; instead, you should ask, “Do you need any information from me?” or, “Do you need my help to solve the problem?” The manager stance of: “Don’t bring me problems, bring me solutions,” is not effective; you should be providing suggestions on where the team member can go next and engage in the problem-solving Key lessons from Practical Ways to Lead and Serve — Manage — Others: Myth: “Performance reviews are motivating” — in truth, they can be incredibly demotivating As a manager giving a performance review, you should be providing feedback that the team member can take action on and improve from You shouldn’t be asking more from those that are doing incredibly well and expecting them to deliver even more than what you expect from other people Don’t make the performance review all about money — this can be very demotivating People do need feedback, just not often not in the form of performance reviews (“There is a difference between feedback and evaluation” — Johanna Rothman) Conduct one-on-ones with everybody that you lead and serve on a regular basis (at least every two weeks), and you will come to understand what everyone wants and needs, and how they’re working within the organization Key lessons from Practical Ways to Lead an Innovative Organization: Offer feedback and coaching labs within the organization “If we can focus more on what’s working in the organization and what’s working with people, we are more likely to achieve the results that we want.” — Johanna Rothman Use change-focused feedback and ask for the change that you want Peer-to-peer feedback works for almost anything (and the key is to do it as soon as you notice a challenge) Congruence is key (balance yourself, the needs of others, as well as the context you are in) Ask yourself: “How do we make it so the team can succeed?” Resilience as a team is key and it’s important to make sure to balance the needs of everybody (i.e. sometimes we need flexibility and sometimes we can extend flexibility to others) Intentionally practice management You don’t have to be a manager all by yourself; you can talk to your peers and work together   Mentioned in this Episode: AgileThought.com/Events — Visit for AgileThought’s upcoming virtual events & RSVP!

I have learned over the years that conventional thinking is often WRONG. We tend to fall into the groove that if other businesses are doing something and if there are hundreds of consultants and authors talking about it, the ideas that are being discussed must be effective. Contrary thinkers and writers are often a minority and therefore may not reach the audience that needs to hear their message. Gary Heil, a Washington Speakers Bureau exclusive speaker and co-author of Choose Love Not Fear, joins me in this edition of the Business Builders Show to speak with Alfie Kohn. Kohn's criticisms of competition and rewards have been widely discussed and debated. His books include No Contest: The Case Against Competition, Punished by Rewards: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes, and School Beyond Measure & Other Unorthodox Essays About Education.. I hope you will step away from conventional thinking for a few minutes and allow yourself to be a student.

In life, parents reward children who make progress in school, and bosses use bonuses to motivate their employees to work hard. The method of “do A to get B” is effective in the short term, but in the long term, as the rewards increase, people lose the passion for accomplishing anything. Why would there be such a consequence? What are the harms of using rewards in the long term? Is there any way to replace rewards? Punished by Rewards will give us the answer.

Carles Caño conversa sobre el libro "Crianza incondicional" con Moisès Gómez, profesor de FP de informática, ex-compañero de trabajo de Carles y padre de dos niños. FE DE ERRATAS: Carles habla de estimulación precoz y en realidad el término que se esa es estimulación TEMPRANA. Algunos temas que hemos hablado en esta conversación: La diferencia entre crianza condicional e incondicional. ¿Qué es lo que nos retiene a la hora de adoptar la crianza incondicional? L@s niñ@s también son personas. ¿Cuál es tu objetivo real cuando interactúas con tus hij@s? Valorar la relación entre padres, madres e hij@s por encima de otras cosas. Dar la oportunidad de que l@s hij@s valoren su propio esfuerzo. Los inconvenientes de los castigos, los premios y los cumplidos. El derecho a equivocarse para experimentar libremente. La alumna que pidió que Moisès dejara de usar gamificación en el aula. La enseñanza también puede ser incondicional. De los castigos y los cumplidos al amor y la razón. Hacer reflexionar sobre las acciones del niño/a sobre los demás. Principios de la crianza incondicional. Cambiar cómo vemos las cosas que hacen nuestr@s hij@s, no solo cambiar cómo actuamos ante ellos. La crianza incondicional no es educación libre. Miedos de los padres y madres. Un libro con aplicaciones fuera del mundo de la crianza. Amor incondicional hacia ti mismo. Estrategias “haciendo a” versus estrategias “trabajando con”. ¿Es demasiado tarde para hacer una crianza incondicional? Libro: Crianza incondicional.

Well well, the grand finale. We've seen in the previous episode how laboratory studies have shown that extrinsic rewards lead to reduced motivation and lower-quality work, as well as a priori arguments for why it's a bad idea to incentivise behaviours with rewards. For those of you who are still unconvinced, I'm losing hope a bit since I've spent a total of about 3 hours so far over two episodes (last episode and episode 2) talking about why rewards are a really bad idea. Here goes my last chance at convincing you, and your last chance to see the light.   With one more chance, what will I talk about? I imagine that those people still saying "yeah, but..." might be most convinced by research based on real-life situations, rather than on laboratory studies. Well, as luck would have it, this is exactly what Alfie Kohn covers next in his book. Picture a group of company directors from various industries talking to one another about their observations that incentive plans have caused damage to their organisations. Picture teachers, "incentivised" by controlling external accountability measures, becoming more authoritarian to the kids in their classrooms in turn - and children learning less as a result (research* has shown this, no kidding). Picture children becoming less cooperative and generous as they are given rewards for good behaviour.   For those of you who are convinced by now (hopefully most of you!), you might still be saying something like "I can see the importance of these findings, but what realistic alternatives are there to using punishments and rewards?" Thankfully, Alfie Kohn spends Part 3 of the book tackling just this issue. I don't want to spoil it for you too much, but let's just say, it can be done.   Even if just one teacher reduces or eliminates the use of contingent sweets or stickers, class rankings, inappropriate praise, or grades as a result of having listened to these past two episodes, then they will have been worth producing. Aiming a bit higher, wouldn't it be great if we could turn our society, and our world, into one that realises the value and the potential of intrinsic motivation, and the dangers of extrinsic motivators?   Enjoy the episode.   * "Controlling Teacher Strategies: Undermining Children's Self-Determination and Performance" by Cheryl Flint, Ann K. Boggiano, and Marty Barrett; Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1990.

You'll remember from Daniel Pink's Drive (episode 2) that common assumptions about how rewards affect motivation and behaviour have it all wrong. Common sense tells us that to motivate somebody to do a better job, we should offer them a material reward, but scientific experiments show us that this is one of the best ways to demotivate people. Perhaps you weren't so easily convinced. Well, good news! Alfie Kohn has written a book which argues in the finest detail and with the most colossal empirical support that rewards are bad for you and for everyone else. Starting off with an argument from principle, that there's something sinister and potentially immoral about offering rewards in the first place, he continues with a book-length exposition of all the terrible things that rewards can do, according to experimental psychology. Why should you care? Because, if you're a teacher giving out grades for assignments, then the evidence strongly suggests that you are undermining your students' motivation. If you're a parent and you reward your child for studying, then you are reinforcing the idea that learning is a useless chore with no intrinsic benefits, done only for the goodie at the end. And if you offer praise when somebody does a good deed, scientific evidence shows that you are making them less ethical and less likely to do a good deed in the future in the absence of an external reward. The really great thing about Alfie Kohn is his reliance on evidence as opposed to common sense or rhetoric to get his points across. Although he does use the latter where appropriate, it is clear throughout all of his books, no less this one, that his conclusions are well-supported by scientific enquiry. This book is a shining example of well-grounded argumentation (and of myth-busting). At the risk of not sounding impartial anymore, I'm willing to say that, as far as his approach to evidence is concerned, I personally consider Alfie Kohn to be a kind of professional role model. So much is said in this book, that I can barely even attempt to fit it into a blog post. I've had to split up the episode into two parts to fit it all in. I hope this week's episode leaves you hungry for more. Enjoy the episode.
