Difference of Jug and Mug Approach and Carrot and Stick Approach
Jug and mug approach is the type of an education where the people who know more transfer some
knowledge to the child. The teacher is the full mug and the child is the empty mug and the teacher’s job is to pour
knowledge from the full jug to the empty mug.
On the other hand, carrot and stick approach is based on the principles of reinforcement that was derived
from the old story of a donkey. The best way to move him is to put a carrot in front of him and jab him with a stick
from behind. The carrot is a reward for moving while the stick is the punishment for not moving and hence making
him move forcefully. In a simpler aspect, it is the use of reward and punishment to make a child obey.
