Fostering Intrinsic Motivation in Educational Settings
In academic environments, students' intrinsic motivation to learn is strengthened when they feel respected and a sense of belonging. This motivation can be further cultivated by reducing the emphasis on high-stakes evaluations, giving students a degree of control over their learning process, and presenting them with tasks that are challenging but achievable. Providing a clear rationale for why learning activities are important also helps boost their internal drive.
