The role of teacher feedback on students' motivation: a situated expectancy-value perspective.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Teacher feedback has been argued to enhance students' learning. Recent studies, however, have shown mixed findings. Some studies reported positive, others negligible, and still others a negative impact of teachers' feedback on students' learning achievement. To clarify these ambiguities, research is needed to understand the motivational mechanisms through which teacher feedback shapes students' learning. Through the lens of the Situated Expectancy-Value Theory (SEVT), this study examined whether and how expectancy and value beliefs mediated the relationship between teacher feedback and learning performance. We conducted a structural equation modelling analysis, linking teacher feedback, expectancy, value, and students' performance, using data from 569,311 students from 80 countries. An inconsistency was identified between the direct and indirect effects of teacher feedback on reading performance. Although the direct relationship between teacher feedback and reading performance was negative, the indirect effect demonstrated that teacher feedback might partially enhance performance by boosting students' expectancy and value beliefs. Our findings shed light on the motivational mechanisms by which teacher feedback shapes academic performance. Feedback is adaptive insofar as it can be leveraged to enhance students' expectancy and value beliefs, thereby suggesting a potential pathway for the positive indirect effect of feedback on achievement. For teacher feedback to be truly effective, it needs to target the enhancement of students' motivation, particularly helping students believe that they can succeed, to recognise the importance of what they are learning, and to derive joy from the learning process.
