What motivates most people to learn according to Hattie?For Professor John Hattie the main contributing factor to a students learning is the importance of FEEDBACK.

Feedback - Hattie has made clear that ‘feedback' includes telling students what they have done well (positive reinforcement), and what they need to do to improve (corrective work, targets etc), but it also includes clarifying goals. This means that giving students assessment criteria for example would be included in ‘feedback'.
As well as feedback on the task Hattie believes that students can get feedback on the processes they have used to complete the task, and on their ability to self-regulate their own learning. All these have the capacity to increase achievement. Feedback on the ‘self' such as ‘well done you are good at this' is not helpful. The feedback must be informative rather than evaluative.
Hattie also stresses ‘effect sizes' are the best way of answering the question ‘what has the greatest influence on student learning?'.

Other important factors that Hattie stresses as motivators for student learning are:
DIRECT INSTRUCTION (clarity and precision in the teacher's instructions)
STUDENT'S PRIOR COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT (student's prior learning and development)
INSTRUCTIONAL QUALITY (the teaching ability and quality of the teacher)
CHALLENGE GOALS (students being given challenging but at least partially achievable goals)
AFFECTIVE ATTRIBUTES OF STUDENTS (addressing the attitudes, beliefs and values of each child)
