Intrinsic Motivation is Key to Student Achievement – But Schools Can Crush It
One of the key components of engagement is students’
excitement about what they learn. Yet most schools
extinguish that excitement.
It all comes down to motivation. In many schools,
students do their work because their teachers tell them
to. Or because they need to do it to get a certain grade.
For students like Destiny, getting a good grade and
outshining their peers – not learning itself – becomes
the goal of school. For other students, they need
minimum grades to be on sports teams or participate
in extracurricular activities or please their parents,
and that becomes their motivation. Students who do
their work because they’re genuinely interested in
learning the material are few and far between.
