An aircraft recovers from a stall at any altitude, in the same manner
and with the same loss of altitude, given the same initial conditions
and recovery controls.Â* Of course, closer to the ground a pilot is more
inclined to pull harder on the stick as the ground rushes up, preventing
recovery.Â* Practicing at altitude will train the pilot to use the
correct amount of pressure, minimizing altitude loss.
Of course, practicing NOT stalling is more beneficial.Â* Learning how far
you can push your aircraft without stalling is, in my opinion, the
better way.Â* And, to address the subject line, I use spoilers throughout
the turn as needed.Â* I think a pilot who applies a particular amount of
spoiler and holds that throughout the pattern to landing is leaving a
lot of performance on the table.

Do you stall the aircraft on final frequently so you can be good at it?
