Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Computer-based technology can be used to support the extrinsic type of motivation described by behavioral approaches to instruction. This type of support may be given, for example, through computer-based drill-and-practice programs. As discussed in previous chapters, computer-based instruction (CBI) programs are also available to provide instruction from a behavioral perspective. These programs use the techniques derived from the principles of operant conditioning (Chapter 7).
Computer-based technology can be used to support the intrinsic type of motivation described by cognitive approaches to instruction. This type of support may be given through computer-based hypermedia and multimedia programs that provide simulated environments and authentic tasks that make learning more meaningful and relevant (constructivism). This helps students develop a sense of confidence and personal responsibility and control over their own learning (intrinsic motivation). This technology makes learning more interesting and more meaningful to the learner.
