Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation of Motivation Theories
The correct answer is Option (b).
- Ahmed's Motivation: Driven by external factors such as class rank, praise from teachers, and peer superiority. This aligns with Extrinsic Motivation and corresponds to Maslow's Esteem Needs (recognition, status, and respect from others).
- Sohan's Motivation: Driven by inner satisfaction, curiosity, and conceptual clarity without external rewards. This exemplifies Intrinsic Motivation, heavily emphasized in Self-Determination Theory and aligning with Maslow's Growth Needs / Self-Actualization.
Understanding these psychological frameworks is crucial for fostering effective learning environments in pedagogical practices.
