Previous studies have been mainly focused on how each of the two has influenced students' performances and achievement. However, according to the theoretical framework proposed by Brookhart (1997), it has been suggested that teachers' feedback may influence student motivation first, which, in turn, may have an impact on students' performances and achievement. Therefore, this paper first examines the nature and different types of feedback, and then gives a summary and critique of research studies on the relationship between teachers' feedback and student motivation. Areas that deserve further study are also indicated.展开更多

The results show that the 2009/2010 winter air temperature oscillation mode between the northern and southern part of China is closely related to the corresponding sea surface temperature anomalies(SSTA) and its associated atmospheric circulation anomalies. Exhibiting warming in Northeast China and cooling in Southwest China, the mode is significantly forced by the El Nio mode and the North Atlantic SSTA mode, which have three poles. Under the influence of SSTA modes, the surface northerly flow transported cold air to North and Northeast China, resulting in low temperatures in the regions. Meanwhile, the mid-latitude westerlies intensify and the polar cold air stays in high latitudes and cannot affect the Southwest China, resulting in the warming there.展开更多
