Students indicated that they felt good when they were praised. Many commented that they
felt proud of themselves, it was motivating (they wanted to try harder to get more praise) and
that they generally felt good inside. One comment from a year 1 student stated that they felt
guilty or caught out when praised. The student explained that this feeling happened when they
got praised for the first time, but subsequent praise was okay. None of the students indicated
that they did not like to be praised.
