WHY DO WE NEED
IT?
It is the driving force in
leading us to do something.
Motivation can be positive
or negative.
Without motivation, nothing
would happen because
there would be no drive to
complete the activity.
When are you easily
motivated?
When is it difficult to
motivate you?

INTRINSIC MOTIVATION
Jensen (2008) explained, "The intrinsic source for learning motivation is ideal
for many reasons, the most obvious of which is that even without the artificial
controls of a classroom environment, students will continue to achieve" (p.
118).
Humans were designed for learning. Creativity is linked to intrinsic motivation.
Under the right conditions, students will be motivated. Avoid creating
conditions that cause learned helplessness.
