Intrinsic motivation refers to behavior that is driven by internal rewards. In other words, the motivation to engage in a behavior arises from within the individual because it is naturally satisfying to him/her. This contrasts with extrinsic motivation, which involves engaging in a behavior in order to earn external rewards or avoid punishment. Rewards can reinforce and at the same time forestall young children’s willingness to learn. However, they are broadly used in the field of education, especially in early years, to stimulate children towards learning activities. This paper reviews the theoretical and research literature related to intrinsic motivational theory. The purpose of this article is to discuss the impact of intrinsic motivation on the learning process of students and to develop a tool to assess the intrinsic motivation, one which suits the present Indian conditions.
