Intrinsic and Extrinsic motivation

Here are 8 ways in which I motivate my pupils:

PRAISE (Extrinsic)

REWARDS (Extrinsic)

SET INDIVIDUAL AIMS (Intrinsic)

CREATE A POSITIVE CLASSROOM ETHOS (Extrinsic)

USE POSITIVE EMOTIONS (Extrinsic)

GIVE TASKS THAT ARE ACHIEVABLE BUT CHALLENGING (Intrinsic)

BE ENERGETC (Extrinsic)

BUILD QUALITY RELATIONSHIPS (Extrinsic)

Intrinsic Motivation

Intrinsic means internal or inside of yourself. When you are intrinsically motivated, you enjoy an activity, course or skill development solely for the satisfaction of learning and having fun, and you are determined to strive inwardly in order to be competent. There is not external inducement when intrinsic motivation is the key to behavior or outcome.

 

Extrinsic Motivation

Extrinsic means external or outside of yourself. This type of motivation is everywhere and frequently used within society throughout your lifetime. When you are motivated to behave, achieve, learn or do based on a highly regarded outcome, rather than for the fun, development or learning provided within an experience, you are being extrinsically motivated.
