This study aims to investigate the degree of practicing the motivated classroom evaluation environment for learning and its relationship to different feedback patterns. To achieve the objectives of the study, the correlational descriptive research design was employed. A questionnaire was constructed consisting of two parts: the classroom evaluation environment (13) items, and feedback patterns (24) items on a five-point scale. The psychometric properties of the questionnaire were verified in terms of validity and reliability. The questionnaire was applied to a sample of (265) male and female teachers who work in the second cycle schools for grades (5-10) of basic education in all academic majors in the Governorate of Muscat in the Sultanate of Oman. The results of the study showed that the participants practiced the motivated classroom evaluation environment in a high degree. The results also indicated that the most important feedback patterns contributing to the degree of practice of the motivated classroom evaluation environment for learning was the corrective feedback pattern, followed by the interpretive feedback pattern, and then the reinforcement feedback pattern. The study concluded the importance of encouraging teachers to use feedback patterns that lead to the motivated classroom evaluation environment for learning, and conducting more studies related to the classroom evaluation environment and feedback patterns.
