Abstract: Motivated students learn much more easily and often teachers make a large effort to motivate them. It is important to get the students to have their own motivation instead from someone else outside, i.e a transition from extrinsic to intrinsic motivation. This transition happens when the student come into transitional states. These are facilitated by, so called, transitional objects, which can be usage of pedagogical tools of different kinds. In this paper we highlight and explain the notion of transitional states and exemplifies some transitional objects.
