q2 i2 On days when children report higher mastery goals than usual in the morning, they report more academic success that evening (β = .255). → Neubauer 2022

Evidence¶

Neubauer 2022¶

Neubauer, A. B., Schmidt, A., Schmiedek, F., & Dirk, J. (2022). Dynamic Reciprocal Relations of Achievement Goals with Daily Experiences of Academic Success and Failure: An Ambulatory Assessment Study. https://osf.io/gfvja/?view_only=b87fe179cf134471948726cb0e482a80

q2 · i2 · associational · r2

Dynamic structural equation model of four weeks of ambulatory assessment data from 108 Grade 5 students, with morning goals predicting evening reports. Mastery goals predicted success ("β = .255, 95% credible interval [.186, .319]"); the other two goals did not.

"Results further showed that daily academic success was predicted by mastery goals, β = .255, 95% credible interval [.186, .319], but the associations with performance-approach goals, β = -.028, [-.083, .030], and performance-avoidance goals, β = .050, [-.011, .112], were not statistically meaningful."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Achievement Goal Orientation — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Daily academic success predicts higher achievement goals the next morning, especially mastery goals — related
• Performance-approach and performance-avoidance goals were not meaningfully related to same-day academic success — related
• Average daily academic success and failure predict Grade 5 grades beyond prior achievement, whereas achievement goals do not — related
