Student Motivation and Engagement
Intrinsic vs Extrinsic
Intrinsic motivationthe doing of an activity for its inherent satisfaction
Just for the fun of it
2Intrinsic motivators include
fascination with a subject,
a sense of relevance to life & the world,
a sense of accomplishment in mastering it,
and a sense of a calling to it.
Extrinsic motivation is when a person is motivated by outside factors.
5Extrinsic motivators include
parental expectations, expectations of other trusted role models, good grades
For young children
Intrinsic motivation can be long lasting and self-sustaining however slow to affect behaviour and time consuming
Extrinsic motivators more readily produce behaviour changes and typically involve relatively little effort or preparation.
However Extrinsic motivators can often distract students from learning the subject at hand.
10Motivation is the engine that drives learning. How am I going to motivate my students?
