It's important to come up with various ways to keep students motivated. It's also important for an instructor to consider their own motivations.
Intrinsic and extrinsic motivators are both important in the adult learning process.
Knowing both how extrinsic and intrinsic motivators affects the success of students are important. As instructors, we need to help bridge help bridge the gap from extrinsic to intrinsic motivation for a successful class and learning environment. To get the students to think instead of learning as a chore or a to-do to get them desiring to learn the course or program. This part requires getting to know the students, as the first module discussed. Once we get to know the student's past experiences, the instructors can find ways to bridge the gap to how relevant the course is to what they already know or have experienced.
extrinsic and intrinsic motivation is very important in increasing student retention.
Intrinsic motivation is more effective in the class setting.
Extrinsic motivators want a tangible reward for their efforts.
Learning that motivation can be about wanting rewards to get someone to work hard, or it's within yourself to want to work hard to get to a goal.
Two types of motivators are Intrinsic and Extrinsic.
I try to use the questioning technique to bring students closer together.

2 types of motivators in and extrinsic
I enjoyed learning about tools to increase intrinsic motivation. It was interesting to note that often what motivates the instructor in turn will motivate the student. It was also helpful to see that extrinsic motivators can be the bridge to intrinsic motivation which is more effective and enduring; but use them sparingly.
Being a mentor and motivator are very important to have a successful classroom
There are two types of motivation: Intrinsic and Extrinsic.
An extrinsic motivation is helpful until intrinsic motivation is achieved.
I use intrinsic motivation in my course presentations. I try to make the class fun, so that even if the course material is dry, the experience is remembered as enjoyable. Joking is helpful, but not too much. Telling personal stories, related to the point at hand, is useful as well.
I think the best approach is to start with some extrinsic motivators such as rewards of some type and then hope the intrinsic will kick in and students would become motivated to achieve success internally. I would hope that in our school setting, if a student chooses to go through a particular program it is because they are internally motivated to become successful in that career as a start.
Intrinsic motivation is the personal motivating factors for most students
I will try to incorporate more use of extrinsic motivation to help my students become more intrinsically motivated.
