Abstract

The way students think can be shaped by those who motivate them. For example, during periods of high-stakes exams, evidence suggests there are considerable differences in the way students interpret their teachers’ motivational messages (Putwain, Symes, Nicholson & Remedios, 2020). During this period, students also receive motivational messages from their caregivers, typically their parents. But how do students receive these messages? And what relationships are there between how students receive these messages and their ongoing motivation, anxiety and academic performance? In this talk I will outline three studies we have undertaken in the area and welcome feedback on how our findings might be practically useful for teachers and parents/caregivers for the next stage of our research.
