I think Pink provided a very unique perspective in his book.
The thing about Drive is that it ties
heavily into education, but also the work force, society, and even parenting to
an extent. The video we watched in class that served as an introduction to the
book helped me to gain a better feel for what we were getting into. Like the
ladies suggested in their blogs, I wasn’t particularly into the reading after a
few pages, however the case study involving primates and reward was intriguing,
and as the book progressed, it got harder for me to put it down
.
Pink’s chapter on autonomy I found especially appealing. I’ve
realized that from an educational perspective, the courses and projects in
which I was granted more autonomy, are the ones in which I enjoyed the most
individual success. Taking note of this, I will grant that same autonomic
freedom to students in hopes of appealing to diverse students, and sparking
creativity, which I feel are two important facets of the teaching field.
