2. B. Goal setting and achievement
motivation
 are important concepts in the field of
educational psychology, particularly
advanced educational psychology. These
concepts play a crucial role in
understanding how individuals set, pursue
and achieve their educational goals.

3. B. GOAL SETTING
Plays a significant role in education. It
involves establishing specific, measurable,
achievable, relevant and time-bound
(SMART) objectives. It involves setting
clear educational adjectives, such as
achieving a certain grade, completing a
degree, or mastering specific skills.

4. The process of goal setting includes
 Setting Clear Goals: Students need to define
their educational objectives precisely,
ensuring they are specific and well-defined.
 Creating a Plan: Developing a plan or
strategy to work toward those goals is
essential. This may involve breaking down
larger goals into smaller, manageable steps.
 Monitoring Progress: Regularly tracking one’s
progress toward the goals is important to stay
motivated and make necessary adjustments.

5. B. Achievement Motivation
 Refers to the desire to excel and achieve
success. It plays a vital role in educational
settings, as students with high achievement
motivation tend to set ambitious goals, work
diligently, and persevere in the face of
challenges. Educators can nurture
achievement motivation by providing
feedback, setting high expectations, and
fostering a growth mindset.

6. Some key aspects of achievement motivation include:
 Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation: Intrinsic
motivation comes from within, where students
are motivated by a genuine interest in the
subject or the satisfaction of mastering a skill.
Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand,
involves external rewards or pressures, such as
grades or parental expectations.
 Self-Determination Theory: This theory
suggests that individuals are more likely to be
motivated when they feel a sense of autonomy,
competence, and relatedness to their learning
environment.

7. Some key aspects of achievement motivation include:
 Attribution Theory: Attribution theory examines
how individuals attribute their success and
failures. It explores how attributions, such as
attributing success to effort and failure to lack
of ability, can impact motivation.
 Goal Orientation: Achievement motivation can
be influenced by a student’s goal orientation.
For example, some students may have a mastery
orientation, focusing on learning and improving,
while others may have a performance
orientation emphasizing the demonstration of
competence to others.
