Bardach, Lisa; Yanagida, Takuya; Klassen, Robert M.; Lüftenegger, Marko – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
While personal performance-approach goals (PAp goals) have already been successfully bifurcated into normative and appearance PAp goals, the same distinction has not yet been applied to performance-approach goal structures (PAp goal structures). The present study therefore aimed to (a) test the factorial two-level structure of PAp goal structures…

Burns, Emma C.; Martin, Andrew J.; Evans, Paul A. – Educational Psychology, 2021
Teacher feedback in mathematics is a potential strategy for redressing declining international trends in high school mathematics achievement. Effective feedback comprises corrective information (feedback) and guidance for improvement (feedforward)--referred to herein as 'feedback-feedforward'. Relatively little research has examined the…

Mackenzie, Erin; Berger, Nathan; Holmes, Kathryn – Issues in Educational Research, 2021
Women continue to be under-represented in science fields in Australia and internationally. Efforts to fix the 'leaky pipeline' producing this inequality are frustrated by declining enrolments in higher-level school science subjects. Researchers and policymakers need a better understanding of the factors which influence girls' decisions to take…

De Castella, Krista; Byrne, Donald – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2015
The belief that intelligence is malleable has important consequences for achievement and motivation (Blackwell et al. "Child Development," v78, p246-263. 2007; Dweck, 1999; Robins & Pals, "Self and Identity," v1, p313-336, 2002). However, believing that it is possible to improve intelligence does not necessarily mean…
