Controlling Personal Rewards: Professional Teachers' Differential Use of Feedback and the Effects of Feedback on the Student's Motivation to Perform
Cooper, Harris M.
Journal of Educational Psychology, 69, 4, 419-27, Aug 77

Teacher expectation, teacher perception of control, criticism of students, academic behavior, and student perception of teacher response to student effort were examined in six primary grade classes. Implications concerning student motivation were suggested. (GDC)
