As an instructor, I would use intrinsic motivators such as encouragement, personal growth, real-world examples, and building confidence. For extrinsic motivators, I would use positive feedback, grades, certificates, and recognition of achievements. My goal would be to help students develop a genuine interest in learning while rewarding their efforts and progress. I learnt about these and I have already been implementing them.

Autonomy motivates students by giving them choices, independence, and ownership of their learning. It also allows instructors to use their creativity and experience to make effective teaching decisions.

I encourage my students to give me a feedback about how they felt during the class and any improvements that are required to be made.

The biggest takeaway from this lecture is that adult learners understand and retain information better when lessons are practical, relevant, and connected to real-life experiences. Instructors should encourage independence, recognize prior knowledge, and use everyday examples to make difficult concepts easier to understand. The instructor should be more approachable if there is any questions and should try to explain in a different ways. Security is one another important information that I learnt.

Adult learners require real world examples to learn things easily.  For example: If you want to tell them about some difficult topics like resistence and pressure, If you give them real world examples like a hose pipe how is blocking its nozzle can change the pressure as you are creating resistence to the flow. can easily explain the tough concepts. Rather than teaching what is given in the text books.

Adult learners are sensible and easily learn things when they are connected to real world examples.

I find it a big issue dealing with adults sometimes they are very easy to handle as they  do deal themselves with emotional stresses but sometimes they throwup tantrums when they cannot pass their exams and blame it on someone ( either family or friends or the teacher for their faliures). Every word told to them as motivation they take it negatively. Maybe its the hormones or maybe they are dealing with too much trauma. But they do finally put the blame on someone instead of themselves taking the responsibility. 

I will motivate the students by linking their personal experiences and mine to the content I am presenting.  I will use this to support episodic memory while providing tools and resources to engage sematic memory.

Enthusiasm and fun make a real difference in the classroom.  It must go hand in hand with respect and fairness.
