The Role of Teacher’s Feedback in Physical Education: Motivational Climate as Mediator
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of perceived teachers’
feedback on the relationship among students’ perceptions of motivational
climate, intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, enjoyment and concentration in
physical education lessons. Total of 835 middle school students (MAge
= 12.83 ± 0.67) voluntarily participated to the cross-sectional data collection. Convenience sampling was used to select schools
from Denizli. Structural Equation Modelling showed that knowledge of performance
feedback positively predicted perceived performance approach climate and perceived
mastery climate positively predicted enjoyment, concentration and intrinsic
motivation. Furthermore, perceived motivational climate was not found to
mediate the relationship among perceived teacher feedback, motivation and
lesson engagement. The results were discussed in terms of implications for physical education environment.
