Example text

We provide a brief overview of these topics in this section. Development of ability-related beliefs and values Eccles, Wigfield, and their colleagues showed two important things with respect to the development of ability-related beliefs and values. First, they found that ability beliefs and values can be empirically distinguished in children as young as first grade (Eccles et al. 1993). This likely occurs because of the feedback they get from parents and teachers about their performance in each subject area, and what areas the socializers emphasize.

Therefore, classroom interventions that attempt to target and alter chronic regulatory focus could be effective, viable ways to enhance achievement; we discuss this issue next. These declines have led to the creation of interventions to improve motivation and achievement (Guthrie et al. This is an important new direction in the field, because most intervention studies designed to improve students’ achievement have focused on cognition. We provide some representative examples of each that are relevant to the constructs on which we focus;Wentzel and Wigfield (2007) and Wigfield et al.

Promotion-oriented individuals do better on tasks requiring creative, flexible and abstract processing. This ‘eager’ processing style also leads promotion-oriented individuals to focus on speed when solving problems or completing tasks, as opposed to accuracy. By contrast, prevention-oriented individuals perform better on tasks that require analytical, narrow, or perseverant information processing, and prefer accuracy to speed (Förster and Higgins 2005; Liberman et al. 2001). Thus it is likely that prevention-oriented individuals may perform better on educational tasks that require using analytical, careful strategies, such as proofreading a writing assignment.
