  • B.By giving 'negative reinforcement'
  • C.By offering 'rewards and prizes'
  • D.By inculcating 'joy of learning'

Answer: D

Teachers increase intrinsic motivation by inculcating 'joy of learning'.

Intrinsic motivation comes from within: a learner studies because the activity is interesting, satisfying or meaningful in itself. Making learning enjoyable, relevant and challenging at the right level helps children find pleasure in learning for its own sake.

Removal punishment and negative reinforcement are behaviourist techniques that control behaviour through consequences. Rewards and prizes create extrinsic motivation and can even reduce interest in the task itself. All three work from outside the learner.
