Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Lisa_Legault/publication/311692691_Intrinsic_and_Extrinsic_Motivation/links/5856e60d08ae77ec37094289.pdf

A short article from Lisa Legault that summarizes self-determination theory (SDT) and its findings very succinctly and clearly. It's especially effective at highlighting the way the spectrum of extrinsic-to-intrinsic motivation works (including the integrated/identified/introjected continuum), and in describing the relationships between autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Nothing new here, nothing inspirational, just a useful resource to point people at so they can learn about the central tenets of SDT

    Jon,

    Thanks for sharing this article. It was great to see such a succinct discussion of the topic and research.

    I am in the midst of creating a syllabus for a course i am teaching in the next semester on Educational Psychology. I am going to add this reading to the courrse.


    By the way, the course is going to be self-directed and take place in Pace Commons (my Elgg site).

    Best,

    Gerald
