This is a general discussion forum for the following learning topic:

Influencing Student Motivation --> Two Types of Motivators: Intrinsic & Extrinsic

Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.

Both intrensic and extrinsic motivating factors are a good way to get a class to start participating. Sometimes its for the external gifting and sometimes its for the person to feel complete.

Intrinsic motivation is longer lasting and arguably more rewarding. Both achieve results, but motivation is lost more quickly when the extrinsic factor is taken away. 

intrinsic motivation is internal satisfaction extrinsic motivation is external rewards

Creating rewards is a good way of motivation for students as long as they dont surpass the limits.

I have learned that rewards are good, but not if overly used.

A good variety of intrinsic & extrinsic motivators in a class is a perfect mesh.

Motivation can be categorized into two types: intrinsic and extrinsic. While extrinsic motivation can be helpful, intrinsic motivation is far more effective in driving long-term success. Extrinsic motivation should be used sparingly, primarily as a tool to help students transition toward developing intrinsic motivation, which fosters a deeper, more sustainable commitment to their goals.

Intrinsic and extrinsic motivators both guide us to goals, learning how to use them is useful.

I learned that there are 2 types of motivators 

Learning about these two I did not realize prizes could actually be a negative 

People react differently to both internal and external motivation. Providing a mix of both is important. Keeping in mind that some forms are only temporary, but necessary, we should focus on providing long lasting motivation.

I think this gives a good contrast between the what can motive groups of people. I feel like intrinsic motivation is the more important of the two. 

As a clinical instructor, I typically use intrinsic motivators that provide security for students. However, I think incorporating more extrinsic methods would be useful as well. 

Motivation comes in two forms: intrinsic and extrinsic. Where as extrinsic can be useful intrinsic is most effective. Extrinsic should be used sparingly to bridge towards intrinsic.

I learned the two different types of motivators for students and some great examples of both.

There are two types of motivators Intrinsic and Extrinsic. 

Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, learning the difference opened my eyes to new motivational challenges.

I believe both are crucial and tend to focus on the outcome. while it's true: assessing intrinsic strengths helps us give an idea how to supplement, my opinion is that extrinsic motivation can give more favorable results. 

You as an instructor contribute to both intrinsic and extrinsic motivating factors.
