Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to enhance the echievement motivation and academic self-esteem of second year high school underachievers in a private non-sectarian school through a Goal-Directed Intervention. This made use of the True Experimental Posttest Control Group Design. A total of twenty eight (28) underachieving sophomores served as participants. Fourteen (14) participants of the experimental group were exposed to an 11-day Goal-Directed Intervention and another fourteen (14) participants of the control group were given the regular guidance activities. Both groups were pretested and posted using the Achievement Motivation Profile and Culture Free Self-Esteem Inventory for Children. The results of this study revealed that the Goal-Directed Intervention could be useful in enhancing the achievement motivation and academic self-esteem of the underachieving participants.

Book excerpt: Do African American urban youth really possess the desire to live a life full of achievements? The Motivated Life shares a composite picture of the social and educational journey of a few urban male students and their step-by-step challenges as they reach for success in a fast track world. Shellie Sampson Jr., Ph.D., a former headmaster in an urban school, discusses the dynamics of goal-setting concepts while relying on the recent research of scholars as well as his own research conducted at an urban school in a major city. While sharing the results of a comprehensive study that included high school counselors, administrators, and African American male students, Dr. Sampson provides strategic information that will help others move their lives to more productive levels. He extensively covers urban trends that affect the lives of African American adolescents, goal-setting methods, and ways that young adults can build a motivated life. Society is filled with those who are coping with success in their own context, yet many are suffering from a devalued life of underachievement. The Motivated Life provides the encouragement that will enable all those who struggle with success to think, search, and create a new life for themselves.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study documents the effects of goal setting on motivation and academic achievement for struggling students in the RTI-Identified Tier II group for reading and mathematics. Previous research indicates that having a goal increases motivation (Murayama and Elliot, 2009), and having higher motivation leads to higher academic achievement (Cavas, 2011). An action research project was designed to use personal mastery goals to increase student motivation and academic gains. Students participating in academic interventions set mastery goals and monitored their progress during a 10- week study. Throughout the study, student motivation was measured using surveys and at the end of the study, student achievement was measured using a universal screener assessment. Results from the study were inconclusive and further research is needed in this area.

Book excerpt: The underachievement of gifted students is a well-documented problem in educational research. This study employed an experimental design to determine whether an existing personal goal setting intervention could successfully improve academic attitudes and achievement in a sample of 44 high school gifted underachievers, as well as determine if any patterns existed in students' goal writing exercises. The goal setting intervention included two after-school goal setting sessions for a duration of approximately three hours, whereby students individually reflected on and wrote about personal and academic goals. Students completed three measures of academic attitudes pre-intervention, one-day post-intervention, and three-months post-intervention: the School Attitude Assessment Survey - Revised, the Future Orientation Scale, and the Theory of Intelligence Survey. Achievement data in the form of grade point average was additionally collected for the semester pre-intervention as well as the semester immediately following the intervention. ANOVA results indicated that treatment students experienced significantly higher academic self-perceptions on the School Attitude Assessment Survey and significantly higher gains in grade point averages over the control group. Examination of students' writing revealed that students cited time management as their largest impediment to improving their academic performance. Surprisingly, analysis of student writing indicated that participants in this sample identified themselves as underachievers, but not as gifted. Recommendations from the findings include implementing goal setting curriculum during the regular school day to allow students to monitor their goal progress under the guidance of a teacher or counselor over a longer duration to assist them in goal pursuit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Goal setting has been identified in recent research as being an indicator of academic achievement, self-efficacy, and motivation, yet there is still much debate as to what the key factors are that lead to successful student goal setting within an academic environment. Thus, the major purpose of the studies in this thesis concern two interrelated issues of goal setting research, namely the importance that primary students place on goal setting in academic settings, and the role of teachers and their teaching of goal-setting strategies within primary school classrooms in New Zealand. This thesis is comprised of three studies. The first study investigated the extent to which students set goals for themselves. An additional focus was to determine who students identified as being their main sources of encouragement for setting goals and who they shared goals with. The second study focused on the impact of teaching students specific learning goals relating to mathematics, which were mastery in orientation. The aim was to determine whether having students construct their own mastery learning goals, with the support of their classroom teachers, improved academic achievement when compared with a control group. The final study sought to examine the significance of attention, motivation, and goal setting strategies in relation to goal setting behaviour. It was found that students recognised that goal setting was beneficial to them in the classroom, and that they set multiple goals in their learning. Further, the majority of the goals that students did set on their own were typically performance rather than mastery in orientation. When taught specifically how to set mastery oriented goals, students showed an overall increase in their mathematics achievement. Finally, it was found that student motivation, attention, and goal setting strategies were crucial factors in determining the degree to which goal setting behaviour occurred.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Most behavior is goal directed. The process of how to reach goals is a skill that children can use throughout their lives. This book evolved out of my persistence in finding a way for helping children help themselves. A child's personal engagement and investment in the whole process creates higher motivation, inspiration, and energy to achieve a goal. What better way for children to become more responsible and build character for successful management of behavior, aspire to reach greater scholastic achievement, or help draw out personal passion and interests than learning the process of goal setting"--Back cover.

Download or read book The Effect of Guided Goal Setting on the Motivation and Achievement of Eighth Grade Students in an International Baccalaureate Middle Years Program written by Deborah L. Layman and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pilot study examined the feasibility of guided goal setting within Socratic seminar and its effects on the achievement and motivation of International Baccalaureate students in an MYP language and literature class. Participants were eighth-grade students enrolled in four language and literature classes with the same instructor. The experimental group (two classes, n = 30) received guided goal setting for six weeks, while the waitlist control group (two classes, n = 24) received the intervention during the last two weeks. As this was a pilot study, inferential statistics were limited, and the study focused instead on descriptive statistics. Descriptive analyses identified many positive outcomes of the guided goal-setting intervention for the experimental group, including increased number of contributions over time. However, when data were examined by race, gender, and goal type, some differences were observed. White students contributed more often during seminar and achieved their goals more frequently than Black students. Female students contributed more frequently during seminar than male students. Students who chose questions or evaluative/interpretative goals made more contributions than students with verbal or factual goals. However, students with questions and factual goals achieved said goals more frequently. The feasibility results and descriptive statistics of this pilot study suggest that guided goal setting resulted in several positive differences in student achievement. A larger-scale study should be conducted with modifications to the research design as indicated. Additional research questions exploring racial, gender, and goal type differences should also be explored.
