Two Bridges: 1.) Standards and Engagement, 2.) Programs and Classrooms The Intricacies of Engagement Possibility One: Intrinsic Motivation--"In reality, people generate intrinsic motivation; it is not somehow built into topics or tasks. When we are intrinsically motivated we study or do something not for its own sake, but for our sake--because doing so provides us with pleasure or satisfaction"-- Brophy. Possibility Two: Extrinsic Motivation Through Standards and Values--"Extrinsic incentives are sometimes necessary for attaining the level of fluency that will allow novices to be motivated by the experience of success."-- Hickey and Zuiker. Possibility Three: The Studio Model--"[The development of interest] needs to be explained in the context of participation in a community of practice that values community activities and supports interest in the process of learning."-- Pressick-Kilborn and Walker |
