37 disagree. Not all respondents agreed that negative feedback induced positive effect
to their motivation. However, it was only 19.29 of the respondents and they were not in a complete disagreement, they still agreed to some of the questions. Thus, in
general, it can be concluded that negative feedback induced positive effect on the respondents’ motivation in learning.
The impact of negative feedback on motivation was also analysed based on the directness of the negative feedback. The respondents were asked for agreement
related to the motivation induced by direct negative feedback and indirect negative feedback. This point was implied in QA 9 and 12.
a. Motivation from Direct Negative Feedback
The responses to QA 9 were positive. It could be seen on Table 4.1, 54.29 of the respondents agreed that direct negative feedback gave them motivation,
28.57 were neutral, and 17.14 disagreed. Their positive reaction for QA 9 showed that direct negative feedback could give motivation to them.
b. Motivation from Indirect Negative Feedback
The responses to QA 12 were negative, shown in Table 4.1. Less than a third of the respondents 28.57 agreed that indirect negative feedback gave them
motivation. More respondents were neutral to this question 37.14 and more than a third of the respondents disagreed 34.28. This shows negative responses
related to the impact of indirect negative feedback on the respondents’ motivation.
B ased on the respondents’ responses, the motivation induced by direct
negative feedback was greater than the motivation induced by indirect negative feedback. Related to motivation, there were more respondents having a positive
38 perception to direct negative feedback compared to the respondents having a
positive perception to indirect negative feedback 54.29 for direct negative feedback and 28.57 for indirect negative feedback.
In summary, for the responses to the impact of negative feedback on motivation and the impact of direct and indirect negative feedback on motivation,
the data indicated positive responses from the respondents shown in Figure 4.3.
Figure 4.3 Data Summary QA 3-5, 9, and 12
More than half of the respondents showed positive responses on the impact of negative feedback on motivation 51.83. However, there were 20.41 of the
respondents had negative responses and the rest of the respondents 27.76 were neutral. In conclusion, negative feedback gave positive effect on most of the
respondents’ motivation and only around a quarter of the respondents got discouraged when given negative feedback.
