I had a hard time with this chapter
trying to sort through all the different motivations. I understood the reference to Motivation 2.0
since it was explained in the last chapter.
This reminded me of my observation, where the punishment was to the whole
class rather than just the students misbehaving. As a student who followed the rules and
played “school” well, I disliked being punished for other students’ behavior
and felt that this punishment didn’t do anything to motivate me but rather made
me lose respect for the teacher.
Laura mentioned her concern with
how to properly use rewards, which is also something I do worry about
myself. The main question Laura posed
was how to use motivations that aren’t in the classroom, for example using
sports as a motivation. Looking back to
my high school years I was motivated by my parents, I didn’t want to get into
trouble for bad grades but in today’s society that isn’t the case. This question is something that I too wonder
about.
