Comment on Francine Redmond's post: I personally like the both styles as many have learned to enjoy things for them selves and some enjoy the factor of acknowledgement from others and rewards.
Utilizing extrinsic and intrinsic motivators allow adult learners to prosper.
Using both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators can be beneficial, as people are motivated by both, but not always at the same time or together.
An evaluation can help instructors adjust instruction, offer needed support, and create learning environments that encourage participation.
Finding out what type of motivators students have in their life helps you to add supporting motivators to their learning and life paths.
We try to provide both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation for our students, we hope this allows them to perform well in their courses.
I am going to inquire what each student's intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is for taking this program. Hopefully I will be able to find methods to support their motivation.
Providing sources of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation for students is key to allowing the class to perform to the best of its ability.
I greatly respect students who mostly have intrinsic motivators to learn anatomy and physiology. Unfortunately, the majority of students learn of because of extrinsic motivators. :)
I will incorporate this in my classroom by letting my students pick their own projects.
