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).

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).
