This study explored the effects of goal orientation and types of performance feedback on
collegian's classroom engagement. For this study, 166 students were taken from Seoul
located university from freshmen to seniors and offered the types of performance feedback
with experimental condition(result feedback and information feedback) and controlling
condition(without feedback). The result feedback was a way that offers only the scores of
the tests, and the information feedback was a way that gives students’ test scores,
self-reflection and introspection with teacher’s feedback for successful academic
accomplishment.
As a result, in classroom engagement, there was a statistical significant difference
depending on the learner's goal orientation. That is, the goal oriented students participated
more actively than the performance-avoidance oriented students. Second, as giving the
information feedback in teaching learning process, mastery goal oriented students and
performance-approach goal oriented students showed more communicate and interact with
teacher than the performance-avoidance oriented students. Third, it was shown that student's
passion for interaction between goal orientation and types of performance feedback was not
statistically significant.
Based on these results, considering the goal orientation of the college students, we came
up with a conclusion inquiring into feedback offering method that could enhance classroom
engagement.
