Dweck, C. (1999). Caution: Praise can be dangerous. American Educator, 23(1), 4-9

This article was about deciding if motivation is a good thing or a bad thing? or When motivation is a positive thing and when it can be negative. It gave us examples that we could relate to as students and see how these same types of movtivation affected others. It allowed us to good and bad ways to motivate my students through examples.

After reading this i have learned ways that can be very motivational compared to ways that are the exact opposite than what everyone might think. this article has allowed me to see motivation from both the point of view of a teacher and that of the students. i have also thought of other ways that might motivate students that are not the exact same as the examples in the article but they may have the same effect.
