The document examines how feedback influences motivation to learn through evaluating course outcomes and how they relate to individual and instructor characteristics. It discusses how informative feedback can increase learner effort and motivation, and how students feel more in control when they receive feedback from teachers. The relationship between feedback and motivation may also depend on the teacher's classroom behavior.

6. Relationship between feedback,
motivation to learn, and individual
characteristics
• Increased informative feedback increases effort in
learner which increases motivation to learn (Shute,
2008).
• Students gain a sense of control through feedback they
receive from teachers (Martin and Dowson, 2009).
• Attribution theory proposes that students gain a sense
of control and locus through feedback from teachers.
Specific consequences of attributions (such as sense of
personal control) can be developed through feedback
from teachers (Martin and Dowson, 2009).

7. Relationship between feedback,
motivation to learn, and instructor
characteristics
• The effect of formative feedback on student
motivation is found to be related to the
teacher’s classroom behavior (El, Tillema,
Koppen, 2012).
