In Drive by Daniel H. Pink he explains that motivation 3.0 is energy that is intrinsic. We as human being have a purpose in life and we need motivation to push and strive to find our purpose. The key to motivation is autonomy, its the freedom to do a task when, where, and however you like. i agree that autonomy is important because to work in a place where something is done the same over and over is really boring there no changes and theres no fun. To be in a work place that allows freedom give you the chance to explore and be creative, allows you to have more fun so you don't hate the task and not be motivated to complete it.

In the book Drive by Daniel H Pink he talks about various things that could come in handy. Pink talks about how people should change to Motivation 3.0 and leave behind Motivation 2.0.Motivation 3.0 is for someone to continue with their life and have a better future with doing things that you love and would want to do for your rest of your life. Which Motivation also talks about Type X behavior which leads to three types of behavior autonomy mastery and purpose, this explains how people use them to become someone better in their life and show us how that involves with Motivation 3.0. This is something I keep in consideration, that’s why I consider myself in having a Type I behavior that can lead as well with Motivation 3.0.

Motivation is a key driving force in most human beings and lies hidden to be discovered

In his book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, Daniel H. Pink lays out the groundwork for what he calls “Motivation 3.0.” Pink opens his book with the acknowledgement of the past drives of human behavior. Originally, humans’ main drive was biological. Hunger, thirst, and sex are the main three components of this drive. The next drive recognized is the drive most commonly used by businesses today, Motivation 2.0.

My decision to be a teacher did not come easily to me. This choice was dependent on a reflection about what I was passionate about and how I could make a difference. I have chosen to become a teacher, as I believe teachers have the ability to provide future generations the stimulation for one of the most significant roles in life; to become a lifelong learner. Many teachers that I have had during my education have had a positive impact on my decision to grow and develop the skills that are fundamental to pursue a successful teaching career. My aim is to be a part of an honorable profession with the optimism that one day I will become an efficacious teacher who can provide future teachers with inspiration, as my teachers have provided for me. Through personal educational experiences and peer-reviewed academic literature, I am able to shape my approach to my pre-service teaching, as it will influence my future practice. As a teacher, there is not just one singular approach to educating students; there is a need for flexibility, diversity, adaptation and reflection.

Motivation can be defined as the desire or inspiration to carry out specific tasks or to do something. Motivation is required when goals are being set and more so in their execution. In a work setting, motivation can be defined as a process through which individuals choose between alternative forms of behavior with the aim of achieving personal objectives. The goals sought by individuals can be extrinsic or relatively tangible such as monetary rewards and promotion, or intrinsic or intangible such as self esteem or job satisfaction (Armstrong, 2006). In learning, the desire to attain good grades is what motivates a student to study hard everyday as they prepare for the exam. On the other hand, for a teacher to put his best foot forward, he

Ever since I began my teaching career, I have been fascinated with the topic of motivation and the role it plays in student learning. Daniel Pink’s book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us, has been on my personal reading list for a couple of years now, and I was elated to find that it was one of the recommended books to read for this assignment. I have often wondered why some of my students, and even one of my own children, are more internally driven than others to complete a given task. Now that I am in the process of becoming a school administrator, my curiosity about what motivates adults has been heightened, as well. In the hopes of finding some insight, and perhaps the answers to some of my burning questions, I

Motivation 2.0 is not working anymore because it does not combine with new businesses. Pink is showing how motivation 2.0 doesn’t work and arguing that we need to move to motivation 3.0. Motivation 2.0 responds to rewards and punishments (carrots and sticks). It is not compatible with how the businesses are organized on what we do, what we think and also what we do. Motivation 3.0 is where humans have to try to learn to be creative and to better the world. The external rewards and punishments are not working for heuristics, but are for algorithmic. To be able to solve any problems you need to depend on the intrinsic motivation is creativity.

An element of motivation a college student needs is purpose. Without purpose one would have no reason of pursuing a task; without motivation 2.0, that is mentioned in Drive by Daniel Pink. Although Autonomy and Mastery can be focused with purpose it can lead to the use of mastery or freedom for one’s self. A musician may find purpose in their musical talents, but before they can accomplish their goals they first have to gain mastery. Practicing your instrument can be on your own time, no one can force you to enjoy playing the instrument. In motivation 3.0 autonomy is addressed with having freedom to do tasks as you please. Autonomy and purpose will tie together because when focusing on purpose and setting goals it may be easier to complete

Motivation is universal, it is something that is lost and found in many aspects of an individual's life whether it be with education, a career or a relationship. It exists as a means for individuals to take action to completing the journey that those motivations have started. In his play “Othello” William Shakespeare suggests that, when individuals are motivated by jealousy and unrequited love, they go to great lengths to express their deepest emotions as a means of achieving stability and satisfaction. Motivations and the subsequent actions are made by us individuals as an answer to why we want something, why we work towards a certain goal or why we have different values and beliefs. Ultimately motivations are the pinnacle of what it means

Motivation is the number one driving force behind anything and everything an individual does each day. “Motivation is the desire to do the best possible job or to exert the maximum effort to perform an assigned task. Motivation energizes, directs, and sustains human behavior directed towards a goal.” (Honor, 2009). Motivation can determine the outcome of projects, goals, and can set limits on what an individual can obtain or what they believe they can obtain. Motivation often is the deciding factor on how successful a project in an organization is, and an individual’s needs and desires can both influence a person’s motivation greatly. Motivation can also determine how well an individual does in school, college, or university.

Ideally, when I graduate, I would like to enter the credential program at Cal Poly Pomona. As an English Education major, I feel like this is the next logical step for me as I seek to move forward on my path of becoming a teacher. The opportunities that await me in the credential program truly excite me because I have always found my studies of English Education to be very rewarding and purposeful. I have found this to be especially true now because I am currently in the process of conducting observation hours at local high schools in Pomona as part of my English Education curriculum. When I am in the classroom, I immediately feel a sense of joy, purpose, and productivity. Outside of the classroom, I do have experience teaching as a leader for a club on campus; I am a Woman’s Bible Study Leader for Cal Poly Cru and I have found this experience of teaching college students to be the most exciting, challenging, and rewarding experience I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. It can become overwhelming as doubts and deadlines tend to sneak in on me from time to time, but I know that being a teacher is worth every ounce of pressure because of the positive impact that a teacher has the ability to make on a student. There is an incredible statistic that states that “On average a teacher affects 3,000 children over the course of their career” (Bickley). This opportunity stirs my heart like nothing else because when I was in high school, I had an incredible teacher named

A theory that supports motivation is the self determination theory. In the self determination theory people need to grow and gain fulfillment by a drive in them. Self Determination is the process of deciding how to act on ones environment. When one is trying to overcome a challenge or encountering a new experience a person wants to gain the knowledge to succeed over the new challenge. When self determination theory is in focus internal factors are at play; a person is primarily focused on the need to gain knowledge or independence. There are three factors that contribute to a student’s self determination and the needs are linked to the student’s
