Abstract
This paper will be looking at whether positive reinforcements motivates students more than negative reinforcement. Focusing on how we can motivate students academically and behaviorally in the middle school education, what methods are being used, and what we can change for the students benefit. There is information gathering on the internet about different approaches and methods to guide students to success. Something is missing to motivate each diverse student. This paper will be studying the methods used in the classroom today, the effects they have on students, and ways schools can change. Using research, observation, and a survey I have found that neither alone does the job of motivating all students. With the information collected I hope there can be a start to more awareness of what students need and that we can work together to find a combination of both positive and negative reinforcements to reach all students.
