Abstract
High school students suffer from a lack of intrinsic motivation to participate in class. In an attempt to combat this lack of motivation, educators often provide students with rewards for participation. However, self-determination theory—a theory of motivation— states that these external incentives contribute to students’ lack of intrinsic motivation.
