If extrinsic rewards will spark student engagement with tasks of limited intrinsic motivation, such as writing revision, we owe it to the principles of best practices to draw forth curiosity and passion by every means possible. Including motivational situations such as contests, rewards, and recognition events to spark engagement in low interest tasks may tempt initially indecisive students, while driving students who are willing participants to perform at a deeper level. To revitalize the valid use of external performance motivations, more teachers can promote strategic activities tying core academics to student-oriented gains.
