First of all, material rewards can only produce positive effects in the short term, but do not have long-term driving force. When material rewards are revoked, children may lose motivation and interest. This makes it more difficult to achieve continuous learning in the future. In addition, material rewards and punishments will strengthen children's desire for money and become a potential hotbed for cultivating the concept of money first.
In contrast, encouraging children's inner interests and curiosity through education is a sustainable way of growth. Encouraging them to learn new knowledge or develop traditional virtues and multicultural education will generate interest and enthusiasm and stimulate their desire to learn actively. Compared with external stimuli, the sense of accomplishment and motivation aroused by internal interests and curiosity are stronger and longer.
In addition, we should fully understand the students' environment and educational forms. In view of the particularity of students and the different characteristics of different disciplines, personalized learning methods and teaching strategies are adopted for each student to fully meet students' interests and needs. In the process of educating children, we should pay attention to the communication of emotion and empathy, give more encouragement, support and care, and stimulate children's self-esteem and self-confidence.
In short, material rewards can't continuously strengthen children's enthusiasm. Appropriate methods should pay more attention to internal motivation and emotional resonance, and encourage children's interest and curiosity in spontaneous learning.
