\"\"<\/p>\n

Setting goals to try to outdo your previous best effort is known as growth goal setting or personal best goals<\/a>. It is fundamentally focused on self improvement, such as investing more time or effort in a task than before or striving to achieve a higher result in the next test than the previous one.<\/p>\n

Research over the past decade into\u00a0approaches like these<\/a>\u00a0in education has shown it has many benefits. They include improved engagement, learning and achievement.<\/p>\n

But it is unclear if these benefits disproportionately apply to already academically advantaged students. We wanted to know if setting goals to improve past performance affected the educational outcomes of academically disadvantaged students.<\/p>\n

Our\u00a0study, recently published<\/a>\u00a0in the Journal of Educational Psychology, looked at goal setting to beat previous efforts in high school students.<\/p>\n

We found students who set goals like these were much more engaged in school than those who didn\u2019t. And the benefits were even more positive for students in lower socioeconomic groups and students who had low levels of prior achievement.<\/p>\n

Striving for self improvement<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Growth goal setting refers to the very concrete and practical strategy of setting and\u00a0striving for specific self-improvement targets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our interest follows\u00a0a prior investigation<\/a>\u00a0showing that setting goals to improve was associated with increased engagement and achievement, particularly for students with attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).<\/p>\n

In\u00a0our new study<\/a>, we wanted to find out if striving to improve through goal setting benefited other groups of students who may be academically disadvantaged \u2014 those from low socioeconomic status backgrounds and with low prior academic achievement. Research has shown\u00a0disparities in academic outcomes<\/a>\u00a0between these students and students from high socioeconomic backgrounds and with high prior achievement.<\/p>\n

So we wanted to find out if setting goals to improve could narrow the gap. We also explored the role of teachers\u2019 instruction in supporting students\u2019 growth goal setting.<\/p>\n

How we did our study<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We drew on the New South Wales Department of Education\u2019s annual \u201cTell Them from Me<\/a>\u201d student survey (provided by, and the intellectual property of, The Learning Bar).<\/p>\n

Our study involved 61,879 high school students from 290 government schools across NSW. This represented 66% of NSW high schools. An average of 71% of students in each school responded to the survey.<\/p>\n

Students participated in the first term of 2018 and again in the first term of 2019. Students were in years 7-10 in 2018 and years 8-11 in 2019. Half the sample was female.<\/p>\n

They had to answer four sets of survey questions on their:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. self-improvement goals. This was assessed by asking students to rate themselves (from \u201cstrongly disagree\u201d to \u201cstrongly agree\u201d) on statements such as \u201cWhen I do my schoolwork, I try to improve on how I\u2019ve done before\u201d) from a\u00a0validated self-report measure<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. teachers\u2019 instructional support. This was measured by students\u2019 ratings of the extent to which their teachers gave them feedback on improving, as well as clear and organised lessons, and instructional relevance<\/li>\n
  3. academic engagement (perseverance, aspirations, attendance and positive homework behaviour)<\/li>\n
  4. personal background attributes (such as their socioeconomic levels and language background).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What we found<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    We found that setting self-improvement goals was associated with significant gains in all students\u2019 perseverance, aspirations, and positive homework behaviour.<\/p>\n

    We also found teachers\u2019 instructional practices (especially improvement-oriented feedback and instructional relevance) were important for supporting students\u2019 growth goal setting.<\/p>\n

    The effect for perseverance was particularly striking: students who more frequently pursued growth goals were 30% more perseverant than students who were not as inclined to pursue growth goals.<\/p>\n

    Especially noteworthy was the finding that setting goals to improve on past efforts had particular benefits for academically disadvantaged students.<\/p>\n

    For students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and those with low prior achievement, such goals were associated with more aspirations to complete school and school attendance.<\/p>\n

    The positive effects on students\u2019 engagement were over and above the effects of prior engagement. Students who pursued self-improvement by setting goals demonstrated significant improvements in aspirations and attendance from one year to the next.<\/p>\n

    We also found setting goals to improve minimised differences in school attendance between students from low and high socioeconomic backgrounds. In fact, low socioeconomic students who had higher growth goals were among the highest school attenders.<\/p>\n

    With regard to aspirations, setting self-improvement goals seemed to have a significant bolstering effect for students with lower prior achievement. This helped reduce the aspiration gap between low and high achieving students.<\/p>\n

    We found if low achieving students set goals to beat their previous efforts, the gap between their aspirations and the aspirations of high achieving students decreased by more than 50%.<\/p>\n

    Why setting growth goals might help<\/h4>\n

    Further research is needed to fully understand our findings. One explanation may be that focusing on personal progress is motivational for academically disadvantaged students.<\/p>\n

    Struggling students may believe they can\u2019t personally be academically successful if they compare themselves to others. This can lead to feelings of\u00a0inferiority and disengagement<\/a>. But when students are encouraged to focus on themselves and their improvement (setting goals to improve), academic success is seen as much more accessible. Exceeding one\u2019s own prior efforts is typically seen by students as more achievable than outperforming others.<\/p>\n
