In the last 30 years the society has developed a lot and education has failed to integrate all the new aspects of life and aspirations of the young. The truth is that few institutions today actually ofer the freedom of choice for their students. That is a real problem that education can't handle because of the industrial model which protects a very stric algorithm of offering education products. <br>__________________________________<br><a rel="follow" href="http://online-rewards.com/" rel="nofollow">Rewards Program</a> The truth is that education has been outclassed by the rapid jumps that the society made over 30 years.

I think technology can help facilitate the shift in the kinds of motivation in the classroom. Intrinsic motivation consists of wanting to do something for its own sake--to read, for example, for the pleasure of reading along. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation exists when the task isn't quite the main point; one might read in order to receive a reward or a good grade. These two kinds of motivation are not only different, but they tend to be inversely related. <br><br>Studies show that the more you reward people for doing something, the greater chance that they will lose interest in whatever they had to do to get the reward. Researchers have found that giving children "positive reinforcement" for being helpful and generous ends up undermining those very behaviors, and encouraging students to improve their grades results in their becoming less interested in the content.
