Optimising students’ academic trajectories: The role of growth (‘personal best’) goals

太多的学生未能发挥他们的学术潜力，因此，他们有可能被系统地剥夺学术“成功”和进步的感觉。通过对学业成长（和“个人最好成绩”）的关注，本研究项目穿越复杂的地形，以确定成长目标和成长目标设定在学生学业轨迹中的作用。它还解决了阻碍这一引人注目的领域的研究进展的方法挑战。通过战略性的国际和机构联系，该研究项目将确定学术成长和成长目标的创新方法，这将极大地帮助旨在优化学生学术潜力的教育学和心理学。

Too many students fail to reach their academic potential and, as a result, they risk being systematically denied a sense of academic ‘success’ and progress. Through a focus on academic growth (and ‘personal bests’), this research project traverses complex terrain to identify the role of growth goals and growth goal setting in students’ academic trajectories. It also tackles methodological challenges that have impeded research progress in this compelling area. Through strategic international and institutional links, the research program will identify innovative approaches to academic growth and growth goals that will significantly assist pedagogy and psychology aimed at optimising students’ academic potential.
