Thats fine.
I'm talking about empirical research about motivation rather than platitudes though. It would be wonderful if all of my students were motivated to learn the subject matter I teach, believe me. However, it is more useful to understand their motivation and engage with it. That can include identifying ways to link what would motivate them to learn a subject matter (personal interests) to the class material.
Favor shouldn't really enter the equation when linking motivation and education.

- gfody 5y agointeresting link thanks! motivation is crazy complex when you really try to cut into it. pirsig didnt use those words but he was clearly talking about the intrinsic motivation and his larger point was that students lacking it were better off leaving school and acquiring some (via some good old life experience) and returning to school later once they were properly motivated - he also felt society was making this into an unacceptable path and that was a shame. keep in mind zataomm is circa 70's
