1) What charateristics and behaviours do you associate with the image of a motivated learner?

 According to my point of view those people always try to participate very often, come to class on time,

They are very enthusiastic when they are working in class and most of the time they work very hard to do

a very good job. I think that all those behaviours are the main characteristics of a motivated learner.

                                                    

                                             

2) The urge to engage in learning activity for its own sake ( intrinsic motivation) is distinguishable from the urge to learn for the sake of some external reward (extrinsic motivation). Do you think there is any difference 

between children and adults in the degree of influence of these two kinds of motivation?

I think there is no difference between them. Because both of them are able to be motivated by something which is interesting to them. Obviously the kind of things which they are motivated are totally different.

For example with the extrinsic motivation, a child could be motivated because as a reward he will receive

a sweet or a present from their parents. An adult could be motivated by money motivation on his job, and the same happens with the intrinsic motivation. That's why I think there is no difference in the degree of motivation between a child and an adult.
