Activities which ______________ are detrimental to students' motivation to learn.
Answer: D
Activities that aim at intangible goals decided solely by the teacher are detrimental to motivation.
Students are motivated when goals are clear, reachable and meaningful to them, and when they have some say in them. Goals that are vague and imposed entirely by the teacher give learners nothing concrete to work towards and no ownership, which weakens intrinsic motivation.
The other three are well-known supports of motivation: moderately difficult tasks offer a challenge that can be met, links with real life make the work relevant, and tasks matched to students' needs and interests engage them.
