Which of the following is an example of a performance goal orientation ?

  • A.A student studies hard to further her own growth.
  • B.A student studies hard to achieve a deep understanding of a topic.
  • C.A student studies hard to get a good grade and be better than others.
  • D.A student studies hard to learn as much as possible from the teacher.

Answer: C

A performance goal is shown by the student who studies hard to get a good grade and be better than others.

Performance (ability) goals focus on demonstrating competence and comparing favourably with others: grades, rankings, looking capable.

The other three students show mastery (learning) goals: studying to grow, to understand a topic deeply, or to learn as much as possible. Mastery-oriented learners judge success against their own progress, not against other people.
