let's look at some definitions :
strategyemotionmotivation
definition
Open Education Networkhttp :// www . open - ed. net
'strategy' is defined as : a smallest unit of activity within a sequenceto achieve an aim or objective
initiated by the student comparing current situationwith a personal ideal, and given and opportunityand realistic expectation for success
definition

definition
' emotion ' is defined as : results from comparing an ideal target statewith a current state
to discover the difference ∆ between
what one what one's wants got ∆
Open Education Networkhttp :// www . open - ed. net
The diagram shows how the outcome from a lower activity through a negative-feedback loop creates a new perception of a higher activity, which when compared with the actual situation the difference ∆ then (given an opportunity, and holding a reasonable expectation of success) motivates the student to engage a lower activity.
The rate of achieving a goal is an affect, and the outcome of the comparison is an emotion.

One ship sails east, another sails westWith the self same winds that blow.It's the set of the sail and not the galeThat determines the way they goLike the winds of the sea are the waves of fateAs we journey along through lifeIt's the set of the soul that determines the goalAnd not the storm and the strife .

Which is better – extrinsic or intrinsic motivation ?
extrinsic is sometimes (not always) mechanical and short-lived,whileintrinsic is always deep, personally meaningful and long-lived ( = in long-term memory )
definition
Open Education Networkhttp :// www . open - ed. net
Each type has its own benefits :before an examination, extrinsic is efficient while in the early stages and in mid-courseintrinsic is effective and more efficient
The best policy is a strategic mix of both . . .
definition
