The aim of this study was to determine the effect of emotional motivational feedback messages given for online homework of secondary school sixth grade students within the scope of Information Technologies and Software course on academic success. The research was quantitatively designed based on quasi-experimental design with pre-test-post-test control group. Participants of the study were 57 sixth grade students studying at a state secondary school. During the research, emotional motivational feedback messages were given the students in the experimental group and only motivational feedback was given the students in the control group. The data were collected through the academic achievement test developed by Öztürk (2015) within the scope of Information Technologies Course.
