Discussion
What is the difference between mastery goals and performance goals ?
Answer: B
The difference is that mastery goals focus on improving one's own skills and understanding of a task, while performance goals focus on achieving a high grade or receiving external rewards.
In achievement goal theory, a learner with a mastery (learning) goal wants to understand and become competent, and judges progress against his or her own earlier performance. A learner with a performance goal wants to demonstrate ability, get good grades or look better than others.
Option 4 reverses the two definitions. Options 1 and 3 describe failure avoidance and approval seeking, which are forms of performance orientation, and assign them wrongly to mastery goals.
