Teacher feedback plays a crucial role in enhancing students’ intrinsic motivation, which is the internal desire to learn driven by curiosity, interest, and personal satisfaction rather than external rewards. This study examines how various types of teacher feedback—corrective, motivational, and evaluative—affect students’ learning behaviors, engagement, and academic performance. The research highlights opportunities to optimize feedback strategies in classrooms and discusses limitations, such as students’ perceptions of feedback, cultural influences, and the challenges of providing personalized guidance in diverse learning environments.
