Rewarding completion
What is rewarding completion?
In the BCT Taxonomy, rewarding completion means teaching a sequence backward: reward the final step first, then gradually add the steps that come before it. This is called backward chaining.
How it works
To teach an equipment routine, a trainer might do all but the last step and reward the learner for finishing. Next, the learner performs the last two steps, then the last three, until they can complete the sequence.
Why it matters
The learner practices reaching the finish from progressively earlier points. This specific teaching method is different from giving a badge for completing a whole task. The taxonomy lists it as technique 14.5.
