Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Providing choices for students can increase their sense of autonomy, which is a key aspect of intrinsic motivation. This can also allow students to focus on the topics that interest them the most and utilize their strengths. Providing easier test questions (option D) or public grading comparisons (option B) may increase extrinsic motivation (e.g. working for a good grade or trying to outdo other students), but may not necessarily increase intrinsic motivation. Flashcards (option C) may be helpful for studying, but may not necessarily make the course more intrinsically motivating.
