Intrinsic vs. ExtrinsicEvan Valenta at 14:04 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via hmmmmmEvan Valenta at 14:05 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via which is more motivatingEvan Valenta at 14:05 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via those are really big words...Rachel at 14:06 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via okay?Evan Valenta at 14:06 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via I think they are both pretty motivating ...Rachel at 14:09 PM, 24 Oct

I'd take the money up frontJosh Cober wo at 14:10 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via I believe that I am more motivated to complete a task when I am not rewarded or punished for a taskEvan Valenta at
14:10 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via

so giving an incentive causes people to do worse? How does that work?Ashley WO at 14:11 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via we are motivated when something is interesting enough to be motivatedsadie&paige&autumn&tori at 14:11 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via JHSS watching the Talk now...Lambert at 14:11 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via I would be more motivated if I got something out of it.Destiny Monk at 14:12 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via why do you always have to get something out of the work you do, just do some things for funWagler.W.O at 14:13 PM, 24

They both are intrisic is more a personal goal that motivates you to get to where you want to be where as extrinsic is being motivated in orRachel at 14:13 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via when rewards are giving people begin to focus on the end goal and narrow their views when conceptualization is the real key to solving the pEvan Valenta at

problemEvan Valenta at 14:13 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via for something like money to get something .. if that makes senseRachel at 14:13 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via had too many wordsRachel at 14:13 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via I prefer to do what makes the job easier even if it takes longer rather than get more money for doing it fasterJosh

I would be more motivated if I got something out of it OR if I think it might/will be fun.Destiny Monk at 14:14 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via the extrinsic method allows us to complete tasks faster and more efficentlyMike WO at 14:15 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via the best work you can do is work where you learn something in doing itWagler.W.O at 14:15 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via this comes from being pressured to do something fast, causing stress and a overall bad jobAshley WO at 14:15 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via I agree Mike.Rachel at 14:15 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via so mechanical skill rewarding works but other than that people become narrow minded and do not perform as wellEvan Valenta at 14:16 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via

but is doing it faster just allowing the tasks to be dumbed downed so that we can just get the money and run?Josh Cober wo at 14:16 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via true evanWagler.W.O at 14:16 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via if youre under pressure to do good you start to get upset and it makes it harder to do the jobKyla at 14:16 PM, 24 Oct
2012 via

*do wellZach BCI at 14:17 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via but, if there was a really small incentive for a big job, would it get done well?Ashley WO at 14:17 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via well you could do a really good job but be really fast at it, therefore you get more work doneRachel at 14:17 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via but if it gets done fast and crappy then do you still get the bonus ?Josh Cober wo at 14:18 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via if the job is simple for a big reward that's when we elevate our preformanceMike WO at 14:18 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via the mechanical jobs are repeat day by day jobs so as you go along you will get faster therfore more motivation will speed up the processWagler.W.O at 14:19 PM, 24 Oct 2012
via

How do you motivate people to do things, if it does not interest them?Ashley WO at 14:19 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via If you do the job bad and fast then no you don't get the bonus.Rachel at 14:19 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via

this isn't refering to speed exactly, rather he is refering to the skill and the thinking process....Evan Valenta at 14:19 PM, 24 Oct
2012 via

But some people are good at their jobs and can perform a task in a short amount of time but doing an efficiant jobRachel at 14:20 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via that's becuase those are mechanical tasksEvan Valenta at 14:20 PM, 24
Oct 2012 via

i think giving pleople the chance to work on what they wont for a portion of time is a good thing.Duane WO at 14:21 PM, 24
Oct 2012 via

given a task that requires abstract thinking the rules changeEvan Valenta at 14:21 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via This ROWE job still has incentive, because the job has to get done.Ashley WO at 14:21 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via Love the FEDEX days idea...seems like great ideas come from daydreaming and experimentingLambert at 14:22 PM,
24 Oct 2012 via

I do my best work in a forestJosh Cober wo at 14:22 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via the rowe has deadlines but there on your own time so you could do it from anywhere in the worldWagler.W.O at 14:23 PM,
24 Oct 2012 via

So how can school change, so that motivation to do things is intrinsic?Ashley WO at 14:23 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via therefore, causing better performance?Ashley WO at 14:23 PM, 24 Oct
2012 via

school teaches many skills that are mechanical in nature.....Evan Valenta at 14:24 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via

but the grades work just like the carrotJosh Cober wo at 14:25 PM, 24 Oct
2012 via

depending on peoples interests. Some people there may be nothing that interests them at schoolRachel at 14:25 PM, 24 Oct 2012
via

YES JOSHEvan Valenta at 14:25 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via how much school work is mechanical?Ashley WO at 14:25 PM, 24 Oct
2012 via

i think if we allow students to choose the classes they want and they will then motivate themselves to complete the tasksMike WO at 14:26 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via some people honestly don't care about their gradesRachel at
14:26 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via

I agree with rachel, unlike at school most people pick a job that interests themGabrielle WO at 14:26 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via which is what we do in higher grades and universityAshley
WO at 14:26 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via

exactly Mike,Rachel at 14:26 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via Well said MikeCarson JHSS at 14:28 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via if people choose courses that lead to the job they want then they can motivate themselves to successMike WO at 14:28
PM, 24 Oct 2012 via

It only makes sense that we would be more productive working on something that interests usCarson JHSS at 14:28 PM, 24 Oct
2012 via

@ Mike W.O. if students picked their own classes would anyone know about world history?Lambert at 14:28 PM, 24 Oct
2012 via

Interesting point Mike - self directed education instead of required courses.Mrs. S BCI at 14:29 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via Would some subjects be ignored because they are perceived as "harder"Lambert at 14:29 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via well how is world history going to help us in the real world? Do people honestly talk about history all the time?Rachel at 14:29 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via their will always be those who aspire to learn about the past and ready others for the futureMike WO at 14:29 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via Just my thoughts, there should be mandatory classes...to an extentCarson JHSS at 14:29 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via some people enjoy harder classes thoughGabrielle WO at 14:29 PM, 24
Oct 2012 via

I agree CarsonRachel at 14:30 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via If they enjoy harder classes then they could choose that cuz thats what they enjoyRachel at 14:30 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via but some other people don't like that, it doesn't motivate themRachel at 14:31 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via they are more likely to do well in those harder classes if they are chosen at willCarson JHSS at 14:31 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via We had an interesting discussion in our class yesterday that goes well with this talk actually.Mrs. S BCI at 14:31 PM, 24 Oct 2012
via

We talked about whether you should choose your future occupation based on how much $ you're going to makeMrs. S BCI at 14:33 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via

or how passionately you feel about the jobMrs. S BCI at 14:33 PM, 24
Oct 2012 via

I understand some mandatory courses, but it seems as though the school board thinks they know what is best for us more then we doCarson JHSS at 14:33 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via I think how you feel about the job should count more than the moneyRachel at 14:34 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via This world is way to based on money then what people actually WANT to do.Rachel at 14:34 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via The problem is loving your job isn't going to feed your familyKyla at 14:35 PM, 24 Oct 2012 via yea what job you have shouldnt be based on the money, it should be based on how much you love the jobNatasha JHSS
