Achievement goal theory proposes that individuals hold a set of beliefs, emotions, perceptions, and attributions that informs the way they approach achievement activities. Goal orientation is defined as the reasons individuals engage in achievement-related activities.

Three types of goal orientations were identified:

• Approach-oriented mastery goals
• performance approach, and
• Avoidance-oriented performance goals

 - 

• Approach-oriented mastery goals are defined as a focus on mastering new skills, trying to gain increased understanding, and improving competence. Students adopting mastery goals define success in terms of improvement and learning.
  • Example: Doing a worksheet to improve one's competence in the domain of particular interest.
