The Premack Principle in Education

The Premack Principle is a concept in education that suggests more desirable activities can motivate students to complete less preferred tasks. Essentially, it states that if a student enjoys an activity (like playing a game), it can be used as a reward to encourage them to finish a task they find less appealing (like homework). For example, a teacher might say, "After you finish your reading, you can have 10 minutes of drawing." This approach leverages natural preferences to promote positive behavior and task completion.
