Intrinsic motivation
is when you want to
do something by
yourself.
A student who is
INTRINSICALLY motivated
undertakes an activity for its
own sake, for the enjoyment it
provides, the learning it
permits, or the feelings of
accomplishment it evokes.
Extrinsic motivation
is when somebody
else tries to make you
do something.
An EXTRINSICALLY
motivated student performs in
order to obtain some reward
or avoid some punishment
external to the activity itself,
such as grades, stickers, or
teacher approval.
