Goal theory suggests that a self-regulated learning cycle mediates the link between goal setting and task performance. In this session, the teacher will introduce students to various ways to look at their performance data, set goals, and hold themselves accountable (academic self-regulation). Educators would need to be an essential part of the process as guides, but this would put meaningful work on the student's shoulders instead of the teacher's. When students perceive satisfactory goal progress, they feel capable of improving their skills. Goal attainment, coupled with high self-efficacy, leads students to set new challenging goals.
