Tokensim

Tokensim refers to simplified behavioural reinforcement systems that rely on tokens, points, or symbolic rewards to encourage certain behaviours. These systems are designed to create clear incentives and structured feedback for behaviour. However, critics argue that token-based systems may prioritise compliance and visible behaviour over deeper understanding of emotional regulation, learning needs, or environmental factors affecting students.
