Mr. Wright offers his geography class free time if they complete the assignment of identifying the countries of the world on a colored map, an assignment they enjoy. If his students' behaviors are consistent with patterns identified by research, the effect of offering them free time for completing the assignment will result in:
a. students' general motivation to learn decreasing.
b. students' general motivation to learn increasing.
c. students being less likely to work with maps during free time.
d. students being more likely to work with maps during free time.
Question 2
Mrs. Jacobson and Mr. Lucas have their students involved in problem-solving activities. They each have a wide range of problems, and the students can choose those they attempt to solve. In an attempt to motivate her students, Mrs. Jacobson offers students a reward for each problem solved correctly. Mr. Lucas does not. If their students' behavior is consistent with patterns identified by research, which of the following is most likely?
a. The students in Mrs. Jacobson's class will select more difficult problems to solve than will the students in Mr. Lucas's class.
b. The students in Mr. Lucas's class will select more difficult problems to solve than will the students in Mrs. Jacobson's class.
c. The students in Mrs. Jacobson's class will initially select easier problems to solve, but as they practice, they will select increasingly difficult problems.
d. The offer of the reward will have little effect one way or the other on the problems the students in either class choose.
