We also looked at the expression 'dangling a carrot' and how, when it comes to learning, we have experienced this often.
I shared how whilst in Year 6, I have been trying different strategies over the year to help them build intrinsic motivation towards their learning rather than holding 'carrots' of rewards or consequences.
We are continuing to find out more about how these two different forms of motivation differ this week.
We are doing this to help build a stronger self-awareness of our responsibilities to our own learning and what we should do to take action towards our learning.
