Abstract

Receiving feedback triggers motivational processes that matter for learning engagement. While feedback can thus affect learning motivation, specific motivations are also required to adequately react to and use feedback. This interplay between feedback and motivation is still not well understood, especially under consideration of specific learning conditions and learner characteristics. We therefore integrate motivational perspectives addressing how feedback relates to motivation, how motivation relates to the perception of feedback, and how student characteristics and context variables matter for these processes. Findings from five studies demonstrate the importance of personal and contextual variables for understanding how and when feedback relates to motivation. A leading scholar in the field of motivation and feedback will critically discuss the findings and future directions.
