Achievement goal theory has emerged as one of the preeminent
approaches to motivation. "Goals, Goal Structures, and Patterns of
Adaptive Learning" presents the findings of a large scale,
longitudinal study that use goal theory as the lens through which
to examine the relation among achievement goals, the learning
context, and students' and teachers' patterns of cognition, affect,
and behavior. These results are integrated within the larger
literature on goal theory, providing an overview of the research
that has been conducted, as well as suggestions that goal theory
researchers might want to consider.
Written by scholars who are well-known in the field, this book:
*provides a comprehensive summary of research related to
achievement goal theory--one of the preeminent approaches to
motivation today;
*presents a detailed overview of research conducted in conjunction
with the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Study--a decade-long
multi-faceted study employing both quantitative and qualitative
methods. A description of the development, reliability, and
validity of the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales is included.
These scales are being used by many researchers using achievement
goal theory in this country and internationally;
*includes important information about the relevancy of achievement
goal theory for an understanding of avoidance behaviors in schools;
*describes the relevancy of achievement goal theory for children
who are disaffected from school and schooling; and
*points to the gaps in research on achievement goal theory, and
provides guidance for future research in the field.
Danielle is doomed in love and has the parents from hell. Her mum
and dad are embarrassingly scruffy and their car bonnet is a
different colour to the rest of the car. Worst of all, they're
still in love, which is totally gross considering how ancient they
are. Her best friend is a (nice) nerd, her love-rival is an airhead
and her dog Simon is in love with an Ugg boot. Despite all this,
she hatches a plan - indeed many plans - to win the gorgeous
Damien's affections. But when she brings Simon to the park to show
him off in front of Damien, a smelly little accident lands Danielle
with the nickname 'Dench the Stench'. Could things get any worse?
When Simon is accused of biting children in the neighbourhood and
her Dad decides to have him taken away, Danielle's life truly
begins to unravel. And then her mother announces she's pregnant -
again - which gives Danielle's schoolmates even more ammunition
with which to make fun of her. Will Damian ever notice her? Can she
save Simon? And will Danielle ever live her family down?
