Get Your Students Hired
Over my years of teaching, which I admit has been a shorter run compared to others, I find that intrinsic motivation is really the only way we as instructors can get our students in the classroom. Extrinsic, like the module implied, is often short lived and will burn out after a short amount of time. For example, I host a quiz game with my students every day to get the students engaged in the overarching curriculum and upon my own introduction to the school, I used to reward students with the most points earned with Starbucks. This served as a strong motivator for the students initially, but quickly began to wane as time grew on. Intrinsic motivation is really what they needed. By providing the students with a greater variety of questions and ways in which the questions were asked, students were far more invested in the outcome of the quiz and their participation in it.
