hello in this presentation we'll look at achievement goal theory what is achievement goal Theory achievement goal theory is motivation oriented theory that focuses on how students achieve their goals students deal with failure and how they choose to engage in activities in the classroom these ideas are based on two mindsets and two goal orientations developed by Carol Dweck Carol Dweck is a leading professional in motivational personality and developmental psychology Carol Dweck holds a PhD in psychology from Yale University and she's currently professor of psychology and by courtesy professor of education at Stanford University formerly she was professor of psychology at Columbia University at the University of Illinois and professor professor of laboratory and human development at Harvard University wek's research according to thwack success successful students demonstrate a love for learning they seek challenges they value effort and they persevere in the face of setbacks Dweck describe these traits as mastery oriented traits which we will get into in just a little bit Dweck's work emphasized the fostering of the fostering and nurturing of the growth mindset and letting go of a fixed mindset in order to improve mastery orientated learning looks two most important ideas for achievement goal theory are the two frameworks and the two goal theories first we'll start with the two frameworks for understanding intelligence according to thwack people understand their competency or intelligence in two different ways she named these mindsets the it's oedema entity mindset and incremental mindset first the entity framework theory the entity framework is the fixed mindset this - that refers to students view on their own comments competency or intelligence as something inside them that cannot be changed it's innate it's something that is inside them that they cannot improve or cannot change student success is driven by performing better than others well for the incremental framework theory this is a growth mindset and this refers to a student's view on their competency or intelligence as something that can be improved over time its incremental so I can be added to as it goes student success is driven through self improvement these students care about learning they want to learn next we'll look at a graphic organizer that'll help sum up the ideas and differences between a growth mindset and the fixed mindset the growth mindset or the incremental mindset looks at failure as an opportunity to grow while the fixed mindset or the entity looks at failure as the limit of their abilities it cannot get any better this is just how it is for the growth mindset when they are posed with a challenge they lean into them they lean into challenges challenges help them grow while the fixed mindset they do not like to be challenged challenges are potential threats to their intelligence or their competency next we'll look at the two goal orientations Golant orientations refer to the reasons why students choose to engage in a task these two orientations are mastery orientations and performance orientations first we'll look at mastery orientation mastery oriented orientation is the development of competent students are developing competence for example a student tells you that she likes science and that's why she worked so hard this student is displaying mastery orientation because she wants to learn more science she wants to master science mastery oriented students embrace challenges and our perseverance because they want to improve performance oriented orientation demonstrates is is about demonstrating competence so a student wants to show how much more that he knows than the rest of his class he is demonstrating his competence relative to others performance oriented students tend to be more vulnerable when faced with challenges because it's threatening to their perception of themselves or their intelligence relative to others now let's look at our growth mindset and our fixed mindset we know that the reasons for these students to achieve their goals is for growth mindsets they are learners they like to learn that is their motivation for mixed scient for fixed mindsets they are all about looking good showing others that they know what they're talking about and these in turn are mastery orientated orientations and performance orientations so just a little baking map on how to look at mastery orientation compared to a growth mindset and performance orientation compared to a fixed mindset so a growth mindset they like to learn that's mastery fixed mindset they like to look good show how much they know that's performance oriented so let's look at performance oriented and mastery oriented subsets these subsets are the mastery approach mastery avoidance performance approach and performance avoidance affirm mastery approach this is the focus on learning as much possible and overcoming challenges for example a student says that she likes science and that is why she puts a lot of effort into it and in for mastery avoidance the focus is on working to avoid a lack of mastery or to avoid failure so in the mastery approach the student says she likes science so that's why she so she puts all her effort into the science she's taking an approach to it and for example a students tells you that she is worried that she will not be able to learn everything that she wants to know she wants to learn in class she is displaying a mastery of Boyett's because she wants to learn more but she's worried that she will be able to she is trying to avoid a lack of mastery next for performance orientation the performance approach is a focus on demonstrating their ability to prove their ability relative to others for example is to answers questions to show this to show the rest of the class how much he knows about a certain subject well performance avoidance focuses on avoiding demonstrating their ability in fear that their competency relative to others is not equal so for example a student that never answers questions because he is afraid that he's gonna look incompetent in front of his class next let's look at identifying identifying some mindsets in the classroom for example when we look at skills a student in a fixed mindset sees their skills as an aim or unchanging it's just the way it is while a growth mindset student sees their skills as a result of hard work can always and can always be improved for a fixed mindset student challenges are something to avoid it's something that's going to make them vulnerable it will reveal a lack of skill while growth mindset students have leaned into challenges they embrace challenges they see challenges as a opportunity to change and improve a fixed mindset when looking at effort finds effort not necessary it's linked to not being good enough because they see their skill as adherence it's innate it's something that can't be changed so why should they have to try they should just be able to do it well a growth mindset student looks at effort as essential and that's an excellent tool that leads to mastery for a fixed mindset student feedback is a personal attack or it produces defensive 'no sand that's they don't want to hear what they've done wrong because what they've done should be right and for a growth mindset student feedback is a very useful tool it's welcomed and it helps them identify areas where they need to improve so they can improve their mastery of the area a fixed mindset when looking at setbacks blame others it's never their fault they are easily discouraging and it can harm their ability to want to learn while a growth mindset student looks at setbacks as opportunities to learn and they focus on making changes finally let's look at ways to promote growth mindset and mastery orientation in the classroom some ways that we can promote growth mindset is by demonstrating that mistakes are part of the learning process we can teach perseverance and a value of challenges use diverse teaching strategies so that all students are able to learn in a way that fits them best and find things that they like for them then next we can do next thing we can do is give feedback that forces the value of a growth mindset as well as ask questions that promote self-evaluation and finally promote growth mindset vocabulary in this picture to the right we can see a whole bulletin board filled with phrases such as I'm not good at this and then we change those into positive mindset vocabulary so I'm not good at this turns into what am I missing phrases like I made a mistake turn into mistakes help me improve
