“…This outcome was accompanied by a significant increase in this variable in the control group (p=0.005). As suggested by studies on goal orientation, individuals high in PAGO may be at risk of being more worried about making mistakes, being more neurotic, avoiding challenges or more difficult goals, and preferring easy and routine tasks, which may result in fewer opportunities to learn something new, being more concerned with the social perception of one's own activities than with the work, and even hindering one's own development or procrastinating about non-routine tasks (Yeager et al, 2016;McCabe, 2013;Duchesne & Ratelle, 2010).…”

Background: Negative body image in female adolescents is a sign of the times, but it is also a current global issue due to its implications for the onset of health-compromising behaviours and the increasing power of appearance-based social media. The aim of this study is to investigate the protective role of a life-skills based intervention during PE classes in adolescent girls against increasing body dissatisfaction resulting from body composition changes and to assess the impact of intervention on the skill of setting goals. Method: The study involved 81 female students aged 12–14 years and used a pre-test/post-test control group design. Students participating in a 15-lesson programme (experimental group) were compared to those who had regular PE lessons (control group). Students completed self-reported measures of the analysed life skills. Anthropometric and body composition measurements were also taken. Results: Despite more rapid biological changes during the programme (significantly higher waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, BMI at post-test compared to the control group, not observed at baseline) the experimental group stayed at the same level of body dissatisfaction as at baseline (“mild concern”). In goal setting, lack of participation in the programme produced a negative change in the performance-avoid goal orientation (PAGO) dimension (p=0.005) in the control group. Conclusions: The study suggests that a preventive intervention targeting life skills can be successfully implemented in PE settings and have a probable mitigating effect on body image dissatisfaction, even in situations when subjects experience intensive biological changes.

“…This is because researchers can easily use standardized research instruments to gather this information (Lim et al, 2019). Self-reports are generally reliable and can be used to measure learner performance in educational studies and interventions (Yeager et al, 2016). However, self-reports on factual questions, such as grade point averages and test scores, may not always be completely accurate, especially when they come from students (Rosen, Porter, & Rogers, 2017).…”

Feedback is an essential aspect of the teaching and learning process since it can objectively describe the learner's performance and guide him through revising their work to improve their academic performance. Studies regarding its application in education have recorded significant pedagogical benefits at the teaching and learning levels. The paper presents the results of a systematic literature review of 76 studies (2012-2022), which evaluated the contribution of teacher feedback to the revision of student work. The review was based on the PRISMA methodology, and studies were selected based on quality criteria. The results showed that most of the studies recorded significant benefits from the application of several types of feedback processes in the successful revision of trainees' work, such as the successful correction of errors, the improvement of the quality of their texts, the assimilation of improvement strategies and the receptivity of teachers and learners. Most of the research concerns English as a second and foreign language course and academic writing, recorded in higher education and collected self-report data, utilizing primarily quasi-experimental intervention.

“…Learning orientations are described as either "mastery orientation" or "performance orientation" [10]. Mindset has come to umbrella even further ideas [1], but in this paper we focus on the central topics of beliefs and learning orientations. We will use the term growth mindset interchangeably with incremental theory and performance orientation.…”

“…For coding, we found student story-telling around challenges and then categorized students' responses according to Dweck and colleagues' descriptions of what constitutes mastery or performance-oriented approaches. For masteryoriented approaches, we coded whether students described effort or hard work [1], "studying to learn, not just ace the test" [16], and/or changing their strategies [9]. For performance-oriented approaches, we coded whether students described assessing their ability and giving up if it was low [9].…”

“…Yeager, Dweck, and colleagues recently described that, "When students have a fixed mindset, they believe that their intelligence is something that is finite and unchangeable...when students have more of a growth mindset, they believe that intelligence can be developed" [1]. Interventions aimed at student mindset have had remarkable success on middle school math grades and promising results with college persistence [1,2]. Yet, there is limited work on mindset in the context of introductory college STEM experiences.…”
