Motivations

As a future teacher, I can honestly say that I won't always use intrinsic motivation to motivate my students only because students like to have an immediate reward because of how great it makes them feel when they see immediate results. Students are not like adults who are willing to wait for a reward that may come later in time, they require immediate pleasure in order to feel like they are important. For instance think about when you are potty training your first kid, you use rewards like candy or a toy as an incentive for them to use the potty.
