Mastery orientation can be encouraged by1. focusing on students individual effort.2. comparing students successes with each other.3. assigning lot of practice material as home assignments.4. taking unexpected tests.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : focusing on students individual effort.

Mastery Orientation:

  • Mastery orientation is defined as having the goal of learning and mastering the task according to self-set standards. The learner is focused on developing new skills, improving, and acquiring additional knowledge.
  • Mastery-orientated students find satisfaction with the work and are not influenced by external performance indicators such as grades. Students who have mastery goals tend to engage in activities that will increase their knowledge. They pay more attention, are more likely to process information at a higher level, and are not afraid to ask for help.
  • Mastery orientation is described as a focus on learning and improvement. Mastery orientation focuses on learning, not grades; improvement, not appearances; competency, not competition. This person wants to understand and grow, not just prove how smart he or she is.
  • Students who are more mastery motivated see learning as incremental. They believe abilities can be improved with practice and that they have control over their learning, These students exhibit academic behaviors that positively impact their learning successes. These behaviors include persevering through difficult tasks and using feedback to improve their performance.
  • In mastery orientation, classroom emphasis is not on the outcome, but on the process and the progress. Students are recognized for improved performance and feedback is geared toward improvement. Reward systems are less extrinsic and more intrinsic.
  • A systematic classroom program for influencing students to adopt a mastery goal mindset is TARGET. TARGET is concerned with task, authority, recognition, grouping, evaluation, and time 

Conclusion: Students’ motivational goal orientation is important to their successes as students as well as in the workplace. Students who adopt mastery goals with the growth mindset are more likely to develop a love for learning and that intrinsic motivation to learn is important to students’ academic growth – including their successful acquisition of skills. Teachers’ own beliefs, the feedback they choose to use, the time they give to students to complete tasks, the choices of tasks they give students, and the credence they give to students’ thoughts about learning experiences all play a role in shaping a students’ mindset toward learning. So, for mastery orientation, focussing on a student's individual effort is more important than comparing him with others, assigning a task, or unexpected test conduction. Hence, option (1) is correct.

Let `y=f(x)` be satisfying differential equation `e^(-x^(2))(dy)/(dx)=2xy^(2)` such that `f(0)=(1)/(2)` Q. Which of the following statement is correct about `f(x)`?A. `f(x)` is unboundedB. `f(x)` is bijectiveC. `f(x)` is oddD. None of these.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
`int(dy)/(y^(2))=int2xe^(x^(2))dx`
`-(1)/(y)=e^(x^(2))+C` point `(0.(1)/(2))` lies on the curve
`implies-2=1+C`
`impliesC=-3`
Hence `-(1)/(y)=e^(x^(2))-3`
`impliesf(x)=(1)/(3-e^(x^(2)))`
Hence, `f(x)` is even which means that it cannot be objective Also, denominator of `f(x)` becomes zero which implies that it cannot be bounded.
37.

Let `y=f(x)` be satisfying differential equation `e^(-x^(2))(dy)/(dx)=2xy^(2)` such that `f(0)=(1)/(2)` Q. Which of the following statement is correct about `f(x)`?A. `int_(0)^(1)f(x)dxlt(I)/(2)`B. Range of `f(x)` is `(0,(1)/(2)]`C. `(e+1)int_(0)^(1)f(x)dxgt1`D. None of these.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`f(x)` is increasing in `(0.,1)` and `f(0)=(1)/(2)`
`impliesint_(0)^(1)f(x)dxgt(1)/(2)`
And `implies(e+1)int_(0)^(1)f(x)dxgt(e+1)/(2)gt1`
Hence (C) option is correct.
