Theory 1 claims that internal motivation and intrinsic interests are sufficient for learning whatever the student needs to learn. Whereas theory 2 claims that external motivation must provide students with the incentive to learn what they must learn. What are the positive and negatives of each theory? Do you think that these are the only 2 theories for motivation or are there others?]]> 2020-01-27 18:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436596849 jack_telmer https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436601016 Should more schools introduce critical thinking and letting the students do the learning themselves as the teachers approach a more "Im here to help" attitude? How should they introduce this way of thinking and teach students about it?]]> 2020-01-27 18:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436601016 jack_telmer https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436618368 Motivation is different for each student, to motivate a class should teacher use intrinsic motivation or extrinsic motivation? Which approach is better? (Think short- term and long-term)

Critical thinking allows us to evaluate ideas and pieces of work on a more in depth level, and it can also be translated and applied in the real world. I believe that teachers should guide students and not necessarily spoon feed them answers, rather allow students to draw their own conclusions and understandings from course material. I feel a good way to promote and teach students critical thinking is through group work. When students are placed into groups, they all come with their different ideas and opinions and they challenge each other. Also using course material that challenges students to think deeper will help foster critical thinking ]]> 2020-01-27 20:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436662478 https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436663984 I think neither one are better or worse than the other. Which theory one uses depends on the individuals they are working with. However, I think extrinsic would work well with the younger students because they may not have the ability to fully understand themselves and what they like yet. In addition, extrinsic motivation could pave the way to intrinsic motivation. ]]> 2020-01-27 20:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436663984 sulaiman_muna03 https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436665082 I believe that the teacher should use a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation because sometimes students need outside motivation and stimulation. But I also believe teachers should gradually shift towards intrinsic because it is crucial that students develop self motivation. In conclusion, implementing both in the classroom is, in my opinion, the most effective.]]> 2020-01-27 20:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436665082 https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436665676 I think schools should introduce critical thinking because it will allow students to think on their own and learn about and from one another. Students should have the opportunity to contribute to their own learning, however, there should be a teacher there to guide them along the way. One way to introduce this type or learning is to ask the class an open ended question relating to a topic in class. Therefore, students can apply what they know base on their own experiences and relate it to the class contents. Teachers should also allow students to ask questions and question things that they are curious about. ]]> 2020-01-27 20:21:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436665676 jamietse https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436666318 For theory 1, I believe that it can lead to more cooperation and collaboration for a common cause between the student and teacher, but it may not always work out as it is ultimately up to the students to think of their own motivating factor. As for theory 2, it can help the student to see the bigger picture and how this course can help them in their life, but being motivated by rewards can lead to learning for the wrong reasons. The reading also mentioned the possibility of the combination of the theories and it depends on the students as well.]]> 2020-01-27 20:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436666318 https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436667585 I think there are definitely more than two theories of motivation. However, I think they fall in between these two theories. Having two theories, however, I think restricts motivation. For instance, it gives the idea that one is better than the other or there’s a right and wrong way to motivate students.]]> 2020-01-27 20:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436667585 jamietse https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436669430 I believe teachers should implement the critical thinking and free teaching method more often, it gives some control to the students and that can be really beneficial and allow some students to thrive since many don't do that well under strict patrolling. It also puts the teacher in a position more like a friend over a scary authority figure. It think it can be implemented through projects that are in the curriculum already and teachers can tell the students to take their own future in their hands, even if it's just a project. ]]> 2020-01-27 20:29:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436669430 jamietse https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436671096 I think teachers should use long term intrinsic motivation, as that's always what matters, looking at the big picture. Students should be taught to think about their future lives and careers, and it should motivate them to do well. They can sometimes use extrinsic motivation but I believe it should not be a large aspect of the learning. ]]> 2020-01-27 20:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jack_telmer/w4gz53qf0dnj/wish/436671096
