Case: Motivation or Desire to be Rewarded?
In a classroom I observe, there are certain prizes students win by completing work, getting 100's, etc. I'm not sure if the students are completely absorbing the information, or just want to quickly complete it to gain a reward. Is there a way to reward students while also not ensuring hard work is involved?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It would depend on the type of reward that a student is given (i.e., extrinsic vs intrinsic reward). There is a different outcome if a student is rewarded with an intrinsic reward (ex. opportunity to learn more about a topic) than there is with an extrinsic reward (ex. candy).
One way that a teacher can make sure that a student is truly learning is by having rewards related to the content. This would mean a shift from extrinsic to intrinsic. Similarly, irregular intervals for rewards would make sure students don't develop an expectancy. |
