the desk and speaks in a near-monotone voice. In another room, there is the teacher who reads without expression to the students, believing that they are following along. Still another teacher is telling the students exactly what information is on the test and how to write to it. Further down the hall, however, the teacher is moving around the room, asking the students questions that incite them to think and respond without the threat of right or wrong answers. Many of these questions begin with "What do you think ..." there are still students who sleep in the last teacher's classroom, there are more interaction and more participation and, for the most part, more learning [11]. Motivation influences learners to choose a task, get energized about it, and persist until they accomplish it successfully, regardless of whether it brings an immediate reward. Intrinsic motivation is present when learners actively seek out and participate in activities without having to be rewarded by materials or activities outside the learning task. The first-grader who practices handwriting because she likes to see neat, legible letters like those displayed on the letter chart is intrinsically motivated. The fourth-grader who puts together puzzles of states and countries because she likes to see the finished product and wants to learn the names of the capital cities is intrinsically motivated. The ninth-grader who repeats typing drills because he likes the feel of his fingers hopping across the keys, and connects that sense with the sight of correctly spelled words on the page, has intrinsic motivation.we begin, consider the two most obvious features of the behavior of motivated learners: energy and determination. Motivated learners have more than just a vision of a goal they want to achieve. They have a passion or interest for achieving that goal. Motivated learners initiate actions, expend effort, and persist in that effort. As you become acquainted with the various theories, think about how they apply to your learners and keep this question in mind: How can this theory account for the energy and direction of a motivated learner? as-Machine: Biobehavioral Motivation Theories: Now Schoolboy, do you see why we have to do this stuff?: It s boring. I really don t care about all this stuff!: Schoolboy, do you care about passing this course?: Is that a threat?: Schoolboy, when I was in high school, I had a teacher who said there are only two things in life that are required.: School is one of them, right?: No, death and taxes. You gotta die and you gotta pay taxes. Everything else is optional.: So you mean I don t have to do this stuff?: You don t have to do this stuff.
