The document discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and which type works best for motivating students. It notes that intrinsic motivation comes from pleasure in the task itself, while extrinsic uses rewards. Intrinsic motivation is identified as working better because it is personal and requires considering individual student interests, strengths, and multiple intrinsic factors. Several techniques for promoting intrinsic motivation are outlined, including establishing a safe learning environment, providing purpose and connections, incorporating student interests, giving frequent positive feedback, varying teaching methods, using examples, allowing choice, and incorporating visuals and active learning.
