Book excerpt: Previous research on achievement goal orientation theory has considered the influence of an individual's performance or learning goal orientation on goal setting, motivation to continue working towards a goal, and ultimate goal attainment. However, in many environments, including school and the workplace, there is a good chance that an individual is influenced or coerced to establish goals that are approved by another (e.g., individual's teacher or manager) that may be congruent or incongruent with their own individual goal orientation. This investigation considers a broad question, what is the influence of an authority figure's goal orientation on an individual's established goals? The annual performance review discussion, and in particular, the annual goal review and discussion are potentially revealing or personal conversations between managers and employees. Through the lens of goal orientation theory, this investigation will use managers' attitudes and perceptions, along with their stated goal preferences to determine if a manager's goal orientation could have a positive or negative impact on the goals that he or she supports in his or her employees. This study explores middle management's support of employee goals that are set as part of the Staff Review and Development process (SRDP) within the Information Technology department at a large research university and how this support may be influenced by manager's individual goal orientations. Results of this study indicate that there was no significant difference between a manger's goal orientation and the manager's preference for type of employee goal (learning or performance), nor between a manager's goal orientation and the manager's goal discussion or goal support behaviors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the differential effects of outcome feedback for achievement goal orientations' relationship with effort and achievement. In support of our predictions, learning goal orientation had a positive relationship with task achievement in the absence of outcome feedback and a negative relationship in its presence, while performance goal orientation maintained a positive relationship with achievement regardless of whether outcome feedback was provided. We attribute this to a decrease in task interest when initial task purpose, as determined by personal goal orientation, is incongruent with the subsequent task cues provided by outcome feedback. Predictions regarding task effort and combined goal orientation effects were not supported. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have witnessed a substantial body of research investigating motivational characteristics and their relationships with academic performance. In achievement situations, one variable that has received a great deal of attention is goal orientation. Following the observation of a gap in the way motivational constructs (e.g., achievement goal orientation) are operationally defined, I suggest alternative methods, called Traces, which can make these implicit constructs visible and measurable. Using trace methods, learners ́use of cognitive tools in a multimedia software environment (gStudy) reflects their goal orientations on the fly. This fine-grained trace data was analyzed with data mining techniques to address several issues in research. First, this study provided evidence that students ́perceived goal orientation did not accord with the behavioral traces of goals they pursued. Nor did self-reports predict test performance as well as trace data. Further, students high in need for cognition demonstrated better academic performance than those low in need for cognition, yet need for cognition did not interact with goal orientations reflected by traces as expected in predicting achievement. When comparing high-achievers ́versus low-achievers ́learning activities, no differences were observed between the two groups in terms of self-reports except for need for cognition where high-achievers scoring higher. In contrast, high-achievers exhibited significantly more frequent use of tools, and studied longer. The learning patterns identified in this sample, as shown by trace data, proved the existence of situational fluctuations of goal orientation within a single study session. Contrary to theory, a rigid pattern of studying that reflects mastery-approach goals does not assure higher achievement. A studying pattern marked by shifting between mastery-approach and performance-approach goals yielded the most positive achievement profile. Future research can gain substantially by merging trace methodologies with other means for gathering data about motivation and learning.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates students' achievement goal orientation in relation to their attitudes toward group work and perceptions of group members' collaboration behaviors. A total of 48 (33 males and 15 females) 4th year Instructional Technology Department students were taking Design, Development and Evaluation of Educational Software course at Middle East Technical University in the Spring term of the year 2003 formed the sample of this study. The study lasted 14 weeks. During this period the students worked in groups and developed 3D learning environments by using rapid prototyping approach and Active World. 3.3[C]. At the end of the semester a four-part survey questionnaire was given to students to collect data on background, achievement goal orientations, attitudes toward group work and perceptions of their group members' performances in terms of effective collaborative rubric. The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The correlation analysis showed no significant relationship between attitudes toward group work and profiles of achievement goal orientations. However there is a correlation between attitudes toward group work and how subjects perceive their team members' collaboration in regard to contribution to task, discussing and listening, and team functioning behaviors. Significant correlations were found between collaboration on contribution to task, discussing and listening, and team functioning behaviors. The results indicated that there was a significant relationship between mastery and ego orientations, negative relationship between GPA and work avoidant orientation. Finally males were significantly more work-avoidant than females. (Contains 3 tables.).
