The most mature and useful for the development of a cognitive motivation to learn. In
this case, we are learning for knowledge acquisition. Discovering new concepts,
assimilation of information, the acquisition of skills is our reward. Knowledge becomes an end in itself, allowing us to "take over the world." But here we are free from coercion, a sense of responsibility, the need to prove something to yourself or someone

And here we again sends greetings to "our old friend", from which, as it turns out, so much depends in our lives: our sense of self-worth. We can learn with joy, passion and energy, reaching the highest results, but we can and under the lash, in fear, sometimes in order to create an impression and to fulfill the role of a mature and independent person.

uneven. You know how many of your classmates on average
school went to class just to meet with friends. Conversely,
many found themselves in trouble in school because of relationships with peers. Complex role
student: it covers the intra-relationships and interactions in a group set up to obtain the knowledge and skills (do not forget about education, although
In this lesson, this side we have deliberately ignored).
Students punished and encourage each other, moreover - each other learn. Sometimes the schools are trying to use the influence of school groups to achieve certain goals. For example, participation in sports, excursions and other activities not related to learning, is dependent on the school ratings.
