Discussion
A teacher should encourage students to set _______________ rather than ______________.
Answer: A
Students should be encouraged to set learning goals rather than performance goals.
Learning (mastery) goals focus on understanding and improving one's competence. Students with such goals choose challenging tasks, persist after setbacks and see mistakes as part of learning. Performance goals focus on looking able and outperforming others, which leads students to avoid challenges in case they fail.
The reverse order is wrong for the same reason. Failure-avoiding and marks-seeking goals are both forms of performance orientation, so neither should be encouraged over the other.
