Intrinsic Motivation • comes from inside yourself
Intrinsic Motivation • You are motivated by: • something you value that others do not impact • personal interest • learning and growing
Intrinsic Motivation • Examples: • I want to learn sign language to communicate with my daughter who is deaf. • I want tolearn about Native American history because I am Native American. • I want to work in a bookstore to get discounts on books. • I want to learn construction so I can build things for myself.
Extrinsic Motivation • comes from outside yourself
Extrinsic Motivation • You are motivated in order to: • avoid punishment • get a reward • please someone
Extrinsic Motivation • Includes the values, goals,and interests of others as they affect you.
Extrinsic Motivation • Examples: • I want to finish school because my mom thinks it is important. • I want to get a degree in mathematics because that is the same major as my best friend. • I want to learn how to weld because it is a requirement for the job.
Which is better? • Extrinsic • Intrinsic • Bransford, J.D., & Johnson, M.K. (1972). Contextual prerequisites for understanding: Some investigations of comprehension and recall. Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal Behavior, 11, 717-726.
Intrinsic Motivation • Research suggest that if you are intrinsically motivated, you will: • put in more effort • try different methods to succeed • be more persistent • learn more deeply
Extrinsic Motivation • isn’t bad……it just isn’t as effective as intrinsic motivation
