What is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation? Can you provide an example of each?

Question

for a student with disability

Answer 1

Intrinsic is when you are motivated by an internal factor...a child who studies for a test because getting an A will make them feel good is intrinsically motivated.  Extrinsic is when you are motivated by an external factor...a child who studies for a test because mom will give them $5 if the get an A is extrinsically motivated.  intrinsic motivation is generally more effective, but harder as a teacher or parent to instill.

EDIT:  The definitions do not change for a student with a disability.

Answer 2

Intrinsic - internal choice that something is meaningful / worth learning   ex. If I learn this strategy, I will look smart and I want to look smart.

Extrinsic - external motivator to make learning worth it - Ex. If I learn this strategy, I will learn a prize from the teacher at the end of the lesson.
