Extrinsic Learners
Extrinsic learners are individuals who are motivated by external rewards or outcomes rather than internal satisfaction. They often seek grades, praise, or tangible rewards to drive their learning process. This type of learner may focus on completing tasks to achieve recognition or avoid negative consequences.
These learners typically thrive in structured environments where clear goals and rewards are established. They may excel in settings that provide regular feedback, such as classrooms or workplaces. Understanding the motivations of extrinsic learners can help educators and employers create effective strategies to engage and support them in their learning journeys.
