Upon a great recommendation from a fantastic friend, I am in process of getting a hold of the book Drive: The Surprising Truth about What Motivates Us. In the meantime, in order to quench my thirst, I found a cool (animated) video that seems to sum up the ideas in a very broad way (perhaps a “Cliff Notes” version). The drawing is super fun (although it makes my hand tired, even though I realize it is fast-forwarded). Check it out…
While you watch, here are the questions I’m pondering/wondering about:
- Does “monetary incentive” equate to grades in the classroom? If so, what does this tell us about grades?
- How can I allow kids to be more self-directed?
- I have seen the need for Mastery and Purpose in students within a foreign language as they strive toward satisfaction… how can I let them be thoughtful about this?
Thanks, MIKD, for the Vorschlag! I’m excited to read/listen to the whole book and ponder even more…
