I learned the two different types of motivators for students and some great examples of both.
There are two types of motivators Intrinsic and Extrinsic.
Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, learning the difference opened my eyes to new motivational challenges.
I believe both are crucial and tend to focus on the outcome. while it's true: assessing intrinsic strengths helps us give an idea how to supplement, my opinion is that extrinsic motivation can give more favorable results.
You as an instructor contribute to both intrinsic and extrinsic motivating factors.
Intrinsic motivators vary from students to student. The instructor should identify each individuals intrinsic motivators, and create extrinsic motivators that complement them.
There are two types of adult learners, which are intrinsic and extrinsic.
two types of motivation are intrinsic and extrinsic .
I learned about intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and that its best to try and be Intrinsic because it last longer.
Comment on Pam Walcott's post: These are two new words for me but have experienced them both time and time again. I agree that there is a place for each of these with the overall goal of success in the class & on the job. Thank you.
Both have a place and are helpful
Its Important an very educational to understand Intrinsic an extrinsic.
Starting off with intrinsic motivation untill it doesn't have as much effect, then transfer to extrinsic motivation to keep them interested and then transfer back to intrinsic motivation.
Over my years of teaching, which I admit has been a shorter run compared to others, I find that intrinsic motivation is really the only way we as instructors can get our students in the classroom. Extrinsic, like the module implied, is often short lived and will burn out after a short amount of time. For example, I host a quiz game with my students every day to get the students engaged in the overarching curriculum and upon my own introduction to the school, I used to reward students with the most points earned with Starbucks. This served as a strong motivator for the students initially, but quickly began to wane as time grew on. Intrinsic motivation is really what they needed. By providing the students with a greater variety of questions and ways in which the questions were asked, students were far more invested in the outcome of the quiz and their participation in it.
Comment on Vonda Reed's post: Thats correct I agree
It's good to bridge extrinsic to intrinsic motivation as the long term achievement will be more rewarding.
Intrinsic and extrinsic aren't words I use daily so remembering the definition of each is somewhat of a challenge. Bets to use intrinsic motivation most frequently while using extrinsic motivation more sparingly. I like the gamification concept as learning should be fun for the instructor and students.
