DFG Research Project Teacher’s Motivational Messages

The DFG research project Motivate! Teachers’ Use of Motivational Messages in the Classroom investigates the extent to which teachers' motivation influences their statements in the classroom and how motivating messages from teachers then affect the motivation of students.

The aim of the project is to better understand the importance of motivating language used by teachers in the classroom for the motivation of students.

Duration: 05/ 2025 – 04/ 2028

The research project is carried out in the Department of School Education at the University of Potsdam under the direction of Prof. Dr. Rebecca Lazarides and Dr. Wendy Symes (University of Münster).
