Goal setting

Goal setting, we’re told, is “important for motivation because students with a goal and adequate self-efficacy are likely to engage in the activities that lead to attainment of that goal. Self-efficacy is also increased as students monitor the progress they are making toward their goals, especially when they are acquiring new skills in the process.”1 When goals or targets are set for students, a process much along the following lines is usually followed:

Write down the goals

Make goals specific and clear

Indicate how you’ll measure goal accomplishment

Have goal timelines and deadlines

State goals in terms of specific outcomes or results

Attach incentives for attainment and consequences for failure
