2.2
Analyse different factors that motivate adults and young people to want to gain
digital literacy skills.
Two types of motivation - extrinsic and intrinsic. Intrinsic motivation is motivation that is driven by an interest and it exists within that individual. It could be desire to keep in touch with family and friends using digital platforms. For example, Skype, FaceTime, Facebook. Wanting to learn new skills and broaden access to online content. For example a hobby like knitting/baking. YouTube has videos for everything. Wanting to help younger members with homework. Therefore needing to know the answers and that they are available on the internet.
Extrinsic motivation comes from outside the individuals body. For example someone may need to learn new things for a job role and without doing so may loose their job. Internet banking and shopping online are more frequent and common and someone may want something you can only buy online these days.
