Extrinsic Motivation - Answer -type of motivation based on gaining rewards or avoiding

personal standards of excellence with hopes to improve
Influence of Mastery Orientation - Answer -students feel more driven to build their
understanding and they approach class with curiosity and with the desire to improve
their ability
People with Learning Goals - Answer -people with these goals choose tasks that
maximize opportunities for learning, are more likely to be intrinsically motivated to learn
course material and seek feedback that accurately describes their ability, view errors as
part of the learning process and interpret failure as a sign they need to exert more effort,
are satisfied with their performance if they try hard (even if their efforts result in failure),
believe teachers are a resource that help them learn, and are more likely to be actively
involved in school activities
People with Performance Goals - Answer -people with these goals choose tasks that
maximize opportunities for demonstrating their ability, are more likely to be extrinsically
motivated, seek feedback that flatters them, evaluate their own performance in terms of
how they compare with others, view errors as a failure and a sign of low ability, are
satisfied with their performance only if they succeed, view a teacher as a judge, and are
more likely to distance themselves from the school environment
Self-efficacy - Answer -individual beliefs in the ability or capacity to complete certain
tasks or attain specific goals
The Role of Self-Efficacy in Learning - Answer -the act of believing a task is easier to
complete than it actually is can lead you to ignore necessary preparations
Factors that Influence Self-Efficacy - Answer -factors include past successes,
comparison to peers who are successful, positive verbal feedback from credible people,
or positive feelings
Attributions - Answer -a person's explanation for success or failure
Three Causal Dimensions - Answer -Locus of Causality: the location of the cause
whether it is internal or external to the person
Stability: whether the cause remains the same over a long period of time and in different
circumstances
Controllability: whether a person believes that the cause is under their control
How do personal attributions relate to academic behaviors and learning strategies? -
Answer -students who make internal, controllable attributions are more likely to have
