For the assessment: you need to pick something about yourself, a goal you had to achieve and break it down, was it mastery (Mastery Orientated) or was it performative (Performance Orientated )? You will psychoanalyse yourself for the portfolio, you will pick things about a goal you had to achieve, and you use the readings about what is mastery and what is performance to explain what you understand about it. You also need to apply the Goal Orientation Theory to it.
Tip – when you write the assessment and you write a definition of the theory, show that you understand the theory, what do you mean/what do you get from it? Pick parts of it and go deeper into what it means, e.g. I believe this definition is saying…. Show what it means to you and explain why you are saying it.
Discuss: Did you think the characteristics you showed about the goal were mastery or performance?
Please mention the perspectives of the Goal Theory by Dweck in the assignment.
Tip 2 – The goal theory is about what the goal that links us to our motivation is and, tries to explain that, what gets between your goals and how goals vary, you should take the definition and extrapolate your meaning in several different ways.
