Martin, Ellen H.; Rudisill, Mary E.; Hastie, Peter A. – Physical Education and Sport Pedagogy, 2009
Background: The literature on motivation suggests that student learning and performance is influenced by the motivational climate, and that positive benefits can be derived from exposure to a mastery motivational climate. Nonetheless, to date, only a few studies have attempted to investigate a mastery motivational climate in a naturalistic setting…
