MT5: Theories of MotivationBy: Adriana Lopez, Angela Pabon, Janelly Perez
Essential Questions• What are the differences between Extrinsic and Intrinsic
Motivation?• What drives one to progress in school and progress within the
work place (in life)?• How are these motivations different between the different age
groups?
What is motivation?• Motivation is • an internal state that
arouses, directs, and maintains behavior• A desire to fulfill a
personal need• Internal mechanisms
that arouse and direct a persons behavior• Direction of ones
effort
Extrinsic Motivation• Motivation created by external factors.• Rewards • Punishments• Consequences
• Not interested in the activity for its own sake, but instead for possible gains.
Intrinsic Motivation• Associated with seeking out and conquering challenges in
pursuit of personal interests and the exercise of capabilities.• Examples:• Activities that are their own reward• Enjoyment of a task or the sense of accomplishment that it brings

What drives one to progress in the work place or at school?
When applied to student learning…
Intrinsic • Eager to learn• Enjoy learning• Welcome challenges• Process information
effectively
Extrinsic • Reluctant to engage in
learning tasks• Dislike learning• Avoid challenges• Process information
superficially
How motivation affects students in their education:• Directs behavior toward goals• Increases effort and energy expended• Commencement in activities is sooner• Increases persistence in activities• Enhances thought processes• Determines what consequences are reinforcing• Leads to improved performance
Motivation Hygiene Theory (Frederick Herzberg)• Frederick Herzberg
concluded• Salary, fringe benefits,
and working conditions (hygiene factors aka extrinsic motivation)• Prevent dissatisfaction
however don’t motivate a worker
*Theory helped to focus on the importance of the intrinsic aspects*
Example• Adrianna has a job where she is paid well and where they offer
stable working conditions • However, she is not motivated because intrinsic factors only
contribute to satisfaction not motivation • Things that would motivate her would be• Recognition • Love for what she does• Achievement/Growth
Cognitive Evaluation Theory• Edward Deci and his colleges determined• Under certain conditions extrinsic rewards could decrease a
persons intrinsic motivation• If people believe that rewards provide positive information about
their own accomplishments intrinsic motivation increases• However, if they interpret the rewards as external control,
intrinsic motivation decreases
Example• Angela enjoys reading books• If she was asked to read books to elementary children
(knowing she loves working with children) for her grade in her Careers and Ed class her intrinsic motivation would still increase although there is an extrinsic factor
• However, if she didn’t like children but enjoyed reading, her intrinsic motivation would decrease because she is being forced to associate with children for her grade
The Overjustification Effect (Attribution Theory)• Intrinsic motivation may be decreased by extrinsic incentives• Rewarding people leads them to favor their behavior to the
extrinsic reward rather than to their intrinsic interest in the activity
*Intrinsic motivation is lower than if there were no extrinsic reward*
Example:• Angela enjoys writing• If her friends offer to pay her to write essays for them• Her intrinsic motivation would decrease only because Angela is
focusing on getting paid for writing rather than writing out of joy
The Expectancy Value Theory• Motivation is governed by
two things• Expectancy of success• Point of view and value
someone has towards success
• Value of goal• In terms of costs in pursuing
goal
• Everyone has a need for achievement• But in different amounts
• Combination of task value and expectation for success
Example:• If Janelly studies for her Physiology test, she has less time to
participate in her other activities such as ASB.• Thus…• if cost is too high, a person may avoid an activity
• In this case, she would avoid studying for the Physiology EOT in order to be able to engage in her ASB activity.
How are the two types of motivation different between age groups?
Children • Children are motivated
extrinsically rather than focusing on their own effort
• However, a child does seek approval from teachers and peers so they won’t looked upon negatively
• They are influenced by their environment
• At this age..• Intrinsic motivation is difficult
to teach/learn • Achievement rises faster with
extrinsic rewards
Teens• The significance of
extrinsic motivation is still there
• However, we begin to develop needs for intrinsic motivation/rewards
• The environment and their self esteem contributes to how a teen succeeds • Because teens still have
their own self actualization needs
Adults• High Intrinsic
motivation is more likely found in adults • External rewards can
be offered but this may decrease their intrinsic motivation• Extrinsic motivation
occurs when there is a serious fundamental need(s)
