What is Intrinsic Student Motivation?
It has become very difficult for teachers to engage students in their classes and create interest in them for the subject. There are different motivation methods, some are called extrinsic and others intrinsic.
Intrinsic student motivation, means that the motivation of the person comes from inside, it means that he is motivated because he has a genuine real interest in the subject and wants to know more about it.

On the other side if the student just has extrinsic motivation, it means that he is motivated by rewards or short term motivators like punishments, extra points and grades.
The teacher needs to focus more on intrinsic motivation because that will create a real interest in the student and he will want to contribute more and will get better grades.
