Multiple Goals, Multiple Pathways: The Role of Goal Orientation in Learning and Achievement.
TLDR
In this article, the authors address the role of multiple mastery goals and performance goals in normative goal theory and research, and propose that performance goals may be adaptive for some outcomes under a revised goal theory perspective.Abstract:
Mastery goals have been linked to adaptive outcomes in normative goal theory and research; performance goals, to less adaptive outcomes. In contrast, approach performance goals may be adaptive for some outcomes under a revised goal theory perspective. The current study addresses the role of multipleread more
