Define and discuss intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. How might parents and teachers help children become intrinsically motivated? What are some of the outcomes of extrinsic motivation?
What will be an ideal response?
Intrinsic motivation comes from within a person who does something for the joy of
doing it without the need for payment or reward. Extrinsic motivation comes from
outside a person, behaving in such a way as to earn praise, money, rewards, or to
avoid punishment. Parents and teachers may help children become intrinsically
motivated by acknowledging their effort when engaged in activities, not the product
or outcome. Potential outcomes of extrinsic motivation include needing a reward,
payoff, or threat to motivate a person to act.
