Assignment:
I would like your help with your thoughts and inputs on the following:
Imagine that you are a preschool teacher. Describe a situation in which you would use an extrinsic reward to motivate a preschooler. Discuss how these motivators could result in learned helplessness. Now, give examples and explain how you can lead the same child to achieve intrinsic motivation by becoming his or her own locus of control. Keep in mind that your end goal is for the child to be intrinsically motivated so that he or she has ownership of the behavior.
1. Identify both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators for young children.
2. Analyze how the mesosystem can influence a child's control abilities.
3. Examine the relationship between socialization and moral development in children.
4. Evaluate the relationship between culture and educational outcomes for children.
