Motivation is the activation or energization of goal-oriented behavior. Motivation may be intrinsic or extrinsic. The term is generally used for humans but, theoretically, it can also be used to describe the causes for animal behavior as well. This article refers to human motivation. According to various theories, motivation may be rooted in the basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure, or it may include specific needs such as eating and resting, or a desired object, hobby, goal, state of being, ideal, or it may be attributed to less-apparent reasons such as altruism, morality, or avoiding mortality.

A. Intrisnic motivation refers to the drive that people feel to excel in their job for personal satisfaction (thus intrinsic). General examples include employees that work "for its own reward". By contrast, those that are extrinsically motivated only do things for rewards (like bonuses, promotion, external recognition). IT is thought in organizations that depending on the person, you can determine what they need to excel in the workplace (ie praise or recognition for the extrinsics).

Can anyone name a classroom management strategy that intrinsically motivates students?
Q. I'm totally brain-dead right now and need some help on this. ASAP! Intrinsic motivation is when a student is motivated within to do their work. HELP!
Asked by Colleen - Sat Nov 15 16:53:09 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I don't know what its called, but if you recruit students to be the teachers helper or to assist other students to do their classwork (especially in cooperative learning groups), it empowers them to participate, reduces behavioral issues in class from that student, motivates that student to help others and get approval and self -worth, and entices other students to listen to their peer, rather than battling with the teacher. Hope it helps!
