The Contributions and Prospects of Goal Orientation Theory

Abstract: In the last two decades, goal orientation theory has become an important perspective in the field of achievement motivation, and particularly in academic motivation. However, as research in the theory has proliferated, the use of multiple methods to assess goal orientations seems to have contributed to theoretical vagueness, especially with regard to the origin, development, and stability of these orientations. This review article starts with a critique of methods used in goal orientation research. The article… Show more

“…It is worth noting that in a review article, Elliot and Thrash (2001) commented on this scale: "In the performance-avoidance goal items, normative competence is clearly implied, although it is not made an explicit focus of the goal statement" (p. 152; see also Elliot & (Middleton & Midgley, 1997); at least some of these items clearly refer to social comparison (e.g., "The reason I do my math work is so the teacher does not think I know less than others."). In addition, in a study comparing these different scales, Smith, Duda, Allen, and Hall (2002) noted that the performance-avoidance goal items are quite different from one scale to the next (for a discussion of this point, see also Kaplan & Maehr, 2007). In sum, the measure of performance-avoidance goals used in the present study does assess performance-avoidance goals, as indicated by the abovementioned research, but the lack of explicit reference to social comparison could explain the difference in the prediction of SCO observed in our and Régner et al's study.…”

“…Kaplan and Maehr [11] described several ways lent itself to explore and determine one's motivation and goal orientations such as survey research procedures, experimental procedures, and qualitative studies. In this study, the researchers conducted qualitative by means of semi-structured interview and observations.…”

“…Цель мастер-ства означает стремление учащегося к получению знаний и навыков, повышению уровня компетентности как для своего профессионального, так и для личностного развития. Студенту, придерживающемуся такой целевой установки, свойственны высокая академическая успеваемость, высокий уровень развития когнитивных способностей и более усердная работа во время учебы [Kaplan, Maehr, 2007]. Под результативной целью понимается ориентация студента на демонстрацию своих способностей окружающим, чтобы получить от них нужную оценку своим умениям и знаниям.…”

“…В. Семенова ОБЗОР НАУЧНОЙ ЛИТЕРАТУРЫ жающим, выполнить задания лучше, чем другие, и, наконец, четвертая связа-на с намерением студента сделать не хуже других, уклоняясь от демонстрации своей некомпетентности. Эмпирические исследования показали сходство цели мастерства с результативной целью приближения по положительным результатам, которые получают учащиеся: например, студенты, ориентированные на обе цели, имеют высокие академические достижения, испытывая при этом положительные эмоции [Kaplan, Maehr, 2007]. Однако для студентов с результативной целевой ориентацией на приближение характерна установка на получение поверхностных знаний.…”
