The lecturer can aim to develop a motivational climate that could strongly influence the
degree to which students perceive mastery of the tasks or outperforming others as important.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of an intervention programme to promote a mastery
motivational climate on lecturing behaviours and student learning experiences in an
undergraduate practical soccer module. As a consequence of the intervention, observational
analysis of lecturer behaviours showed increases in student-set mastery goals, greater
differentiation of tasks, increased lecturer feedback on effort and progress to individual
students, and more flexible time to learn. Group interviews with students revealed that the
mastery programme had a positive impact on their motivation and learning experiences.
