Why Do We Learn? (Intrinsic/Extrinsic Motivation (Students learn because…

- - - - External Motivation: Activities are done to satisfy some external demand or to earn something in return
      - Introjected Motivation: Activities are done because of pressure, desire to avoid guilt or anxiety, or to fulfill ego or pride.
    - - Identified Motivation: Behavior or activity has some personal importance attributed to it or fits with ones life goals
      - Integrated Motivation: Taking extrinsic motivations and internalizing them, aligning them with self determined goals
      - Purely Intrinsic Motivation: Behaviour would be movivated by absolutely no separable outcome. It is hard to prove if this type of motivation is actually possible to exist, as virtually everything has some kind of other outcome associated with it.
- - - - The mindset that intelligence or ability is malleable, and can be changed through effort and learning. This is more valuable for students as they will be more willing to take responsibility for their grades, and make changes to their practice to increase their performance.
    - - The mindset that intelligence, skill, or ability is born-with, or genetically determined. This means that no amount of effort or learning can change the students' performance on a task. This in not a good mindset for students, as they will be less likely to take responsibility for their grades because they believe that no matter what they do, they possess a fixed ability and cannot change the outcome.
- - - - The need to interact with our environments and produce effective changes within them. Students will have an innate need to interact with things in the classroom or at home, in order to learn how to manipulate the objects in their environment.
    - - The need to self-regulate and be in control of one's own behavior. Students will have an innate need to make their own choice and control their own experiences to some extent. Often this means learning new skills so that they can become more independent.
    - - The need to feel connected to and accepted by significant others. Students will have an innate need to find or create similarities with their peers or teachers to connect with them. This means copying modeled behavior, or learning new skills or knowledge that other students may already have, in order to relate and connect to them.
