Self-determination enhances student success by pushing students to achieve success through intrinsic motivation rather than external rewards. Students who are self-determined often act independently after understanding how their options help reach personal goals. Supporting self-determination in schools allows students to make decisions, set goals, and solve problems on their own.

1. How Self-Determination
Increases Student Success
Self-determination can enhance learning and improve
student performance in academics and extra-curricular
activities.
Self-determination pushes a
student to achieve success based
on intrinsic motivation rather
than relying on external rewards.
Students who are self-
determined often act after
understanding their options and
how it helps them towards their
goals.
Supporting self-determination
among students in a school setting
allows them to make decisions, set
goals and solve problems
independently.

Teaching self-determination as a
concept to students can help
motivate them and allow them to
assume greater responsibility.
