Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children with an extrinsic orientation are motivated by external rewards like praise, recognition, and tangible incentives such as grades, prizes, and awards. They don't see themselves as more competent at academic tasks. They may prefer easier tasks that they know they can complete to get the desired reward rather than more challenging tasks. Their grades may or may not be better, depending on how much weight the teacher or the school places on grades in relation to other factors like effort or creativity.
