Papel de la motivación extrínseca e intrínseca en los estudiantes durante el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las Ciencias Naturales

Abstract

In this compilation about school motivation, it is intended to verify the importance of the role of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation in students during the teaching-learning process of Natural Sciences, due to the fact that various authors state that school motivation it can facilitate or limit learning. For this, a bibliographic review of 84 sources was carried out and an analysis of the theoretical foundations consulted was made. The results obtained suggest that motivation is very important during the teaching-learning process, and in turn this is gradual depending on the year of schooling, since the lower grades present higher motivation and better academic performance. It was also found that students by developing their academic activities outside the classroom are more motivated and improve in their teaching-learning process and the type of motivation that has the greatest impact is intrinsic motivation. It was also found that ICTs favor the learning of scientific concepts and that the motivation and passion of the teacher influences the students. Finally, it is concluded that the teaching-learning process must be mobilized by motivation and by the desire to learn, since this will allow more easily the understanding of scientific concepts, and the construction of new knowledge in Natural Sciences.
