What strategies does Ms. Bernstein use to keep her children's attention during various activities ?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Some motivation theorists propose that two conditions are essential for intrinsic motivation: a sense of competence (i.e., self-efficacy) and a sense of self-determination (i.e., a belief that one has some control over the course of one's own life). With these conditions in mind, decide whether Ms. Patterson is promoting intrinsic motivation to behave appropriately in her classroom.

Answer to Question 1

She uses several strategies:
 She reads an exciting story at the beginning of the day.
 She engages the children in a song as a way of taking attendance.
 She incorporates the task of learning letter sounds into a game.
 She has a physical activity in which the children make Vs on the floor.

 She uses the red circle as a place to keep the children's attention when she gives instructions for a new activity

Answer to Question 2

She is clearly not promoting intrinsic motivation. By implying that she cannot trust her students to behave responsibly, she may be reducing their self-efficacy with regard to their ability to make reasonable decisions about their own classroom behavior. By imposing restrictions on when they can get a drink of water, she is minimizing their sense of self-determination.
