In this Ted Talks video, Daniel Pink shares his findings on behavioral science. He explains that people of the 21st century are no longer motivated by rewards and punishments, but by the need to create and show their talents. His video explains how business and the world of the 21st century needs to address these scientific findings.
I've seen this Ted Talks before. I completely agree with Pink. It makes me wonder if we should get rid of grading in school. Why have grades? It's simply a form of educational capitalism. If students would learn, discover, and create based on their internal motivations we would not need grades. Yet here we are still stuck with an outdated performance indicator that sometimes cripples students' ability to be innovative. Can we continue to force creativity? Like Pink said, "the carrot and the stick does not work anymore."
