Intrinsic motivation is founded on autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

Extrinsic motivation may lead to hedonistic adaptation (but it all depends on the person and the person's circumstance).

I appreciate the idea of "improvement is the goal in and of itself".

 

Instrinct motivation does greater and longer inpact to ones behaviour than stick and carrot.

 

giving students confidence boosts whenever they are doing good and accomplishing the tasks to keep interest and give them the desire to keep striving to do good

Make goals obtainable.  We need to encourage our staff and/or students through extrinsic and intrinsic motivations.

Education is not pure learning book by book. Flow plays an important role, enjoyment and focus will lead to better improvement and learning capabilities and motivation.

 

What stands out for me is that I must find creative ways to allow my learners to be a part of their own goal forming and strategy to get them there. Autonomy and Mastery are the key motivators that can continue to provide meaningful reward when more basic needs have been met or are found to have diminishing impact. Giving the course goals and providing the information for learners to reach them might be enough. Of course, my experience indicates that each learner will require a different amount of "reminding," given that the semester has outside time constraints and each has their own unique set of distractors alonh their path.

I have learned the importance of how to encourage others through extrinsic and intrinsic motivations and how it contributes to the successful outcome of student education

What I have learned about motivating others is that the largest unmet need and driver of motivation at work is purpose. This was an ahha moment. I wrote it down and plan on using this as an opening workshop for our students. Purpose is key!

i have learned to motivate students by showing them  how rewardinding it can be at the end of the course

I learned about motivating others and the importance of creating 'flow' for both myself and my students. Make work purposeful. Allow autonomy and set clear goals to achieve. 

 

Providing a well understood and defined purpose will allow it members to accomplish the task at hand. Provide the freedom and responsibility to allow them to tackle the problem and provide guidance as required. As a leader, provide a good example of a motivated leader with the desire of making the organization better. Take care of the organization members. Committment, trust, honesty, good communication, knowing your job, and respect will allow the unit members to follow you and accomplish the task.  

When you know you have a motivated team?..... When they follow you in spite of harm, difficulty or the unknown to accomplish the mission!

 

I learned that in order to motivate my students, I have to be motivated as well. 

What works is a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic.  I see that in our student labs. They enjoy the grade, but also doing something well

 

encourage others to share openly their knowledge.

 

I intend to express to students why it is important to learn certain aspects about mechanical engineering and by applying your interest in a subject you might find that self-motivating interest to learn more and master the task.

 

I have learn to motivate my students in making them aware of the finial reward which comes with their students, giving them the autonomy in some of their assignment

 

I will use intrisic motiviarion by utilizing as many personal healthcare stories to help keep them motivated. I hope this will show them how motivated I am to be in healthcare and help inspire them to want to learn as much as they can. 

 

How critically important feedback is to adult learners and how critical it is to return exams, quizzes, tests as soon as possible and the affect a delay in feedback can negatively impact the adult learner.

I've learned that you have to share your motivation with others rather than manage them. If you foster motivation and goals they will be more effective

Learning about how to motivate our students is important, finding out if they intrinsic and extrinsically motivated. We can use this information to help our student to reach their goals.
