its easier to give a reward. period. the people that dont want to relinquish that are the ones in power. I am interested in this concept and will continue to read up on it. he is very interesting

Society which includes every institution is geared towards rewarding and therefore we get bored people doing boring jobs. Passion is lost.

wow even back in the day there are too much commercial break

You are sooo right Mr. Kohn...!

I have one problem, why was this so short with plenty of interruptions? Is that how Oprah's show is structured? I was hoping for more time on the block for him to get the information to sink in. Some of the ladies were really willing to learn.

What was he thinking when he tried to stiff his Mexican caddy? That is what i's like see in an interview on his brainworks.

so the kid that wasn't paid for being tested were basically used as child labor or you can as say slave labor is not a reward if you work for it, So should I stop rewarding my worker with cash for their work?

If you can't bride your children you'll have to learn how to slow down, feel, reflect with increasing nuance and reciprocally engage with your child! How novel! How sad!

lot's of karens in the audience - poor alfie is battling a losing fight

the ”establishment” represented in the audience by those 2 ladies are in a difficult situation. They know deep inside that the actual school system is killing the joy and passion out of the children.. and she/they think like ”how can i renounce at rewards (and grades), there it will be no more learning, i have to manipulate them, i have to force them to learn what the program says”....”i have to maintain my job, etc ”. Watch Ken Robinson to further understand how school kills creativity and passion with laser precision, almost no one escapes.

I love it

My Granddaughters and we have custody of them. They go to a school that uses rewards for good behavior. Most of the time they end up rewarding the bad behavior. I"m looking for a good plan to suggest/implement in an IEP. PBIS will not be used. I will remove them from this school, if I have to.

How many commercial breaks are there in just 12 minutes of programming.

I read 2 Books from alfie Wonderfull Philosophie

Alfie is one of our top progressives that the media ignores. Scary, because the research is dead on.

Everyone: " He crazy" Alfie: "The research says I'm right" ( till he's proven right 20 years later with Millenials and snowflakes and offence culture).... Everyone: " Genius" Alfie: "The research says I'm right"

When Oprah says "We all loved those gold stars" I wish Alfie would have responded by illustrating how the fond feelings of nostalgia and happiness were for the gold start and not the thing that the gold stars were supposed to be encouraging.

I fully agree and I regret it is so often used in society as well to manipulate adults in stead of inviting them to take responsability.

What he is saying is very similar to what Marshall Rosenberg says in "Nonviolent Communication". What matter is WHY the child or young person behaves in a particular way. Marshall also says educating children using rewards and punishments teaches them to become factory fodder in peacetime and cannon fodder in wartime.

Rewards can be used to influence behavior long enough to form habits.

Love Alfie kohn, I completely understand and I do not punish or bribe

99% of what came out of his mouth was of what not to do. Only 1% of the actual technique, and thats not due to Oprah interrupting. He really didn't have much to say on "what to do". I dont think he is full of itsh, just think he hasn't developed his theory completely. On to the next-one....

He's brilliant.

This man is beyond the curve, his approach has helped us in many ways that I keep on seeing with my children, as affirmations that this was the only way to go. Thank you so much, so glad I discovered and had the wisdom to read his books!

Love this guy

Oh my god how did this show ever get famous? How did she manage to reduce everything down to shit with a guest like Alfie?

sounds like Red John

$$$ becomes the ultimate value, everything else: literature, music, science, art, just necessary contingencies to be exploited for more $$$. It's systemic.

Kids know when they are being manipulated be either punishment or reward, they are also smart enough to understand an explanation of real rationale behind attempts at control. Choices and honesty. Autonomy in education. What a concept. Kids are also quite capable of engaging in counter control. A little respect for autonomy in education would be so healing for so many people.

I think Alfie Kohn's theory makes sense because its important to motivate and encourage the child to do the action for the love of it. Its going to be a harder and longer process but its the right way to do it. We can't keep rewarding kids for action. I have tried and my son gets bored. So now I am going to follow Alfie Kohn's method where you encourage the child to do something because in the long run it will help him.

Alphie Sucks! He is wrong too!

great vid!

Better quality video anywhere?

I just love him.

watch dan pink the surprizing science of motivation, he recognises similar results

That about sums it up for me.

Just curious... does Alfie Kohn have kids?

While this is interesting, the example with the students does not offer the 3rd option where the students could get the dollars after they completed the puzzles.

Ayyy shouts out to Mr. Gorski

Thanks for putting this up Gio! My VHS was getting old...

I didn't get rewards, it was "Do this or you'll get a spanking." It was pretty effective to be honest.

I think it's plausible that Texas teacher is confused by the reward system because it's possible some kids may have actually figured out they like to read once the program got underway, but that's not what Kohn is arguing. She kept shaking her head like "nope. nooope".

Truly insightful. Its been years since these discoveries have been made. Its time we started to apply these findings into our everyday life & witness the positive results :-)

Something to note, Alfie isn't just giving his personal opinions and theories he's presenting what the research is showing

He confuses the term positive reinforcement. It's obvious that if you give a child money it will stop interest in the task. He received a reward for doing nothing and lost interest in the incentive to solve the problem \ Puzzle But people are getting positive reinforcement not only by people but also by the world itself \ solving promlems

I see that the clouding problem with this experiment is that the kids were paid before completing the puzzle. However, most parents who reward good grades don't give their kids the bribe until after they have met the goal (i.e. good grades, or completing the puzzle).
