Participation in sports can play many educational roles in students' personal development. However, studies have reported that interest and participation in physical education gradually declines with age (Papaioannou, 1997). Therefore, it is important to examine factors that affect students' motivation for participation in sports and physical education. Students may engage in physical activity for a variety of reasons, including a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motives. A factor that may affect intrinsic motivation is physical educators' behavior. By providing learners with feedback about their strengths and weaknesses, physical educators may modify learners' interpretation of their ability and situational intrinsic motivation. While research on instructional behaviors and students' motivation has provided the authors with valuable information, there is a significant limitation. In this study, the authors followed up on these issues by examining whether the type of feedback learners receive about their performance can affect their intrinsic motivation. (Contains 1 table.)
