How might students who are motivated by learning goals behave differently from students who are motivated by performance goals?
What will be an ideal response?
Students with learning goals and those with performance goals do not differ in overall intelligence, but their classroom performance can differ markedly. When they run into obstacles, performance-oriented students tend to become discouraged and their performance is seriously hampered. In contrast, when learning-oriented students encounter obstacles, they tend to keep trying and their motivation and performance may actually increase.
