Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
Motivation is classified by the source that regulates engagement. Extrinsic motivation is regulated by consequences outside the activity, whereas intrinsic motivation arises from interest or satisfaction inherent in the activity.
The distinction concerns why the learner acts, not whether the learner is active or successful.
Application
Rewards and praise are consequences supplied from outside the learning activity, so they describe extrinsic motivation.
Personal satisfaction comes from engaging with the subject itself, so it describes intrinsic motivation.
Contrast
Both statements false: this denies both the external-regulation and inherent-satisfaction classifications.
Statement I true and Statement II false: this accepts external regulation but excludes inherent satisfaction from intrinsic motivation.
Statement I false and Statement II true: this excludes rewards and praise from external regulation while accepting inherent satisfaction as intrinsic motivation.
Result
Therefore, both Statement I and Statement II are true.
