Concept:
MANAGING AND CARING FOR THE SELF

Students are bound to face multivarious tasks, overlapping with other roles
they portray at different social institutions. Having goals which they can track would
ease their minds to possible dilemma.

1. The Importance of Goal

 First, goals serve a directive function; they direct attention and effort
toward goal – relevant activities and away from goal – irrelevant activities.
Second, goals have an energizing function. High goals lead to great effort
than low goals.
Third, goals affect persistence. When participants are allowed to control
the time they spend on a task, hard goals prolong effort. Faced with a
difficult goal, it is possible to work faster and more intensely for a short
period or to work more slowly and less intensely for a long period.
Fourth, goals affect action indirectly by leading to the arousal, discovery,
and / or use of task – relevant knowledge and strategies. (Wood & Locke,
1990, as cited by Locke & Latham, 2002).

Activity:
