Introduction
Before I started this experiment I found it interesting that there are loads of different teaching styles that various teachers used. I wondered what type of teaching methods were the best for the students, and what style helped the students get good grades. I was more interested in positive and negative reinforcement. That was down to the fact that I looked at different classes and I saw two main styles. One style was that the class was thought by a teacher who was really interested in the topic that they were teaching, and they enjoyed teaching the class. This made the class lively, energetic and it made the students pay attention, but only half. The other style was that the teacher used made the class boring, dull and complicated, this made the students uninterested and that they would not pay attention.
This made me want to investigate about positive and negative reinforcement and I wanted to see what type of reinforcement was better for the students in general. I looked at skinner theory (see appendix iii) about extreme reinforcement, and I wondered that, does extreme reinforcement have a good or bad affect on students grades.
