Motivation in teaching and learning
When we think about educational psychology. There are many different theories of motivation. In motivation we focused on learning rather than their behaviour. The main two types of motivations are intrinsic and extrinsic motivations.
Intrinsic motivation comes from within the student or from factors inherent in the task being performed. For example, students who love to read are intrinsically motivated to read - there is something about reading that they enjoy and that makes them want to do it even if there is no "reward" for it.
Extrinsic motivation comes from sources external to the student and the task. It can come through praise, recognition, or a system of rewards. For example, for students who do not enjoy reading, a token economy involving stickers or a class store may prompt them to read more often.
we can correct the behaviour of students. We can make them motivated intrinsically, first through extrinsic means and then slowly as motivation is internalized it becomes intrinsic and therefore when students experience intrinsic motivation teachers have to expend very little effort to motivate them.
