This document discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation involves engaging in an activity for its own sake rather than for external rewards, like playing a sport for fun. Extrinsic motivation occurs when we are motivated by external rewards or punishments, like studying for good grades. The document also provides ways to motivate pupils, such as relating lessons to their interests, ensuring success through manageable goals, creating moderate tension, and providing specific feedback.
Developing, monitoring and maintaining productive pupil behaviour
- 1. DEVELOPING, MONITORING AND MAINTAINING PRODUCTIVE PUPIL BEHAVIOUR

- 7. EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION occurs when we are motivated to perform a behavior or engage in an activity in order to earn a reward or avoid a punishment. the behavior is motivated by a desire to gain a reward or avoid a negative outcome.
- 8. Examples of behaviors that are the result of extrinsic motivation include: • Studying because you want to get a good grade • Cleaning your room to avoid being reprimanded by your parents • Participating in a sport in order to win awards • Competing in a contest in order to win a scholarship
- 9. WAYS TO MOTIVATE PUPILS • Pupils Interest • Relate teaching and learning materials to pupils interest in life outside school • Design variety of activities which pupils enjoy such as simulation, group work, video viewing, games to avoid boredom
- 10. • Pupil Needs • Create activities that provide ample opportunities for pupils to meet some of their basic human needs such as self belonging and self-esteem through group work and pair work
- 11. • Success • Create success for pupils by designing activities that are manageable within the time duration given and according to pupils’ ability level • Ensure pupils experience success by making learning goals or objectives clear and teaching content of the lesson clearly in small steps
