    Deficit thinking is the central topic under study in module four. Jupp (2013) writes, “life and teacher story interviews provided pages upon pages that discussed structural understandings of student differences, yet in a contradictory turn, teachers retained deficit understandings of students as well” (p. 106). Firstly, these structural understandings that Jupp (2013) describes, can be understood as “differences [that] exist in relation of historical and social center and margins” (p. 57). If we look at the social and historical centers in America we can see them as a hegemonic center that has evolved out of western European culture and institutions (Jupp, 2013, p. 57). This in and of itself, is an understanding that many white classroom teachers…

    In Elaine Elliott and Carol Dweck’s article “Goals: An Approach to Motivation and Achievement” they focus on two very contrasting reactions to failure. They go through and give you extreme detail on what their experiment entailed, interesting findings, and what they ended up concluding at the end of the study. Elliott and Dweck’s center of attention in this experiment was to test their hypothesis that different goals set up the observed helpless and mastery-oriented patterns. They suggest that individuals seek two major goals while put in an achievement situation, a time when an individual believes that their capabilities are being evaluated somehow. First, the individuals desire to maintain their good, favorable judgements and steer away…

    Community Strengths and Resources The public library afterschool programs are among many different resources within the community offered to students and parents. With the constant struggle many families face within the poverty line, programs such as the leap after school program grants many parents a relief if they face financial hardship and difficulties. Financial hardship like many other hardships may contribute to the absence of parents who often take additional job opportunities to feed their families. This additional job opportunity can contribute to children missing out on completing assignments on time as well as students having no where to go immediately following dismissal from school.…

    Sixth Grade Classroom Curriculum Night Rationale I have chosen to present Curriculum Night to my incoming 6th grade class, in particular I will focus more directly on the regular education students, while the EC teacher that co-teaching along with me focuses on the EC students. The majority of the non-EC students are at-risk students with less than 20% probability of passing the End-of-grade test. Transitioning between grades can be difficult for any child, but it can be particularly difficult for a fifth grader moving up to sixth grade. Many parents and students are unsure of the expectations set in middle school, so it is the job of teachers to set those fears at ease and help create a smooth and painless transition for these parents and…

    How would you feel if you suddenly saw your parent every day at school? Would you feel embarrassed having them around, or proud to have such caring parents? If you chose the latter, then you may already know the significance that a parent may have on their child if they took the time to be involved in their children’s school. Without their parent around, the child will most likely suffer a negative outcome in their lives. This makes it almost a requirement for parents to spend as much time as they can in their children’s school to help prepare them for a successful life.…

    Achievement Goal Theory

    • 894 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Achievement goal theory is a broadly accepted and backed framework for explaining and studying academic motivation and informing classroom practice (Anderman & Patrick, 2012). This theory has typically focused on goal orientations of mastery and performance which are further distinguished as either approach or avoid goals (McDevitt, Ormrod, Cupit, Chandler & Aloa, 2013; Anderman & Patrick, 2012). Mastery goals are usually considered the best form of motivation (Khajavay, Bardach, Hamedi & Luftenegger, 2018; McDevitt et al, 2013), however, performance-approach goals can achieve similar or better results (Anderman & Patrick, 2012). Performance goal results are generally less stable (Anderman & Patrick, 2012) which can be explained by self-efficacy…

    It has been now accepted that achievement goal theory is ‘ one of the most prominent theories of motivation in educational research’ in the last two decades (Senko, Hulleman, & Harackiewicz, 2011, p. 26). According to Dweck’s achievement goal theory (1986), individuals’ behaviour is driven by two different patterns: adaptive and maladaptive. Adaptive achievement behaviours are those according to which people always try to challenge themselves and grow personally, as well as maintain their abilities and skills. Maladaptive achievement behaviours, on the other hand are those according to which individuals fail to achieve their goals or fail to attain those goals that used to be in their reach. Similarly, goal orientation can be divided in two…
