Which of the following correctly describes intrinsic motivation ?

  • A.Motivation that comes from external rewards
  • B.Motivation that comes from personal enjoyment of the task
  • C.Motivation that comes from competition with others
  • D.Motivation that comes from a fear of punishment

Answer: B

Intrinsic motivation is motivation that comes from personal enjoyment of the task.

An intrinsically motivated learner does an activity for its own sake, because it is interesting, enjoyable or satisfying, not for anything outside it. Such motivation leads to deeper and longer-lasting learning.

Motivation from external rewards, from competition with others or from fear of punishment comes from outside the task, so it is extrinsic motivation.
