In the middle of their lesson on algebraic functions, Sierra asks Ms. B, “Is this going to be on the test?” Does Sierra’s question suggest she holds more of a mastery or performance goal orientation? Why?

Details
For this learning activity you will generate FIVE potential exam items. Three items should be about each of the theories we learned about in Modules 1, 2, and 3 (i.e., one for extrinsic/intrinsic motivation, one for SDT theory, and one for goal orientation theory) with the last two items based on attribution theory. You must provide the answer key or expected response and demonstrate your understanding of the content through the questions and answers. Be sure to address multiple key concepts from the lesson and course in multiple ways (e.g., do not write three similar questions). Items can be in any format, (e.g., multiple choice, short answer, true/false, matching, essay), but you must use at least three different formats across the five items.

Example:

Q: In the middle of their lesson on algebraic functions, Sierra asks Ms. B, “Is this going to be on the test?” Does Sierra’s question suggest she holds more of a mastery or performance goal orientation? Why?

A: Performance; her statement implies that she is only interested in learning the information if it will be on the test. If she had a mastery orientation, the fact that it is on the test or not is irrelevant, for the most part.
