2. What are your motivations for your envisioned self:

My envisioned self, five years from now – is my mother. My mother’s greatest dream is to be a
professional teacher. Yet because of financial issues, she’s not able to achieve it. At the same time, my passion
revolves around it – teaching.

psychologist. At the same time, the man whom I am with now.

from those people who believed in me. My future success is all because of them, and all because of God.

world, with my family.

All I wanted to do, is just watch my child to be successful as well.
4. How do you feel after doing this exercise?
I feel motivated and excited; at the same time, I am afraid. I feel motivated, I need this to reach all of
that dreams. Excited, for that day to came. But afraid at the same time, doubting if I would achieve all of
that. But I must, so I will!
5. What is your perception on goal setting?
Goal setting, in my opinion, is critical. It helps a person stay on track to achieve their goals in life.
Setting goals improves habits such as focus and self-discipline. It assists a person in adapting to changes in
their lives. It instills self-discipline through instilling a sense of self-mastery. Make sure your objectives are
specific, attainable, practical, and time-bound.

APPLICATION AND ASSESSMENT

1. Jack Canfield Quote Hunt. Using Canfield’s quote on success at the beginning of this lesson, identify the
elements of Bandura, Dweck, and Locke’s Theories. Give explanation to your answer.
"By taking the time to appreciate who you are and what you have achieved – and perhaps learnt
from a few missteps, stumbles, and losses you have - you can actually can enrich everything about you," says
Jack Canfield Hunt. Self-awareness and appreciation provide you with the insights and awareness you need
to go forward toward greater goals and accomplishments." This remark might help us learn from our past
mistakes and open our minds to the fact that there is still hope at the end of the road. When you make a
mistake, it doesn't mean you didn't know everything; the lesson here is that we try things that aren't
necessarily good for us.
We're used to it. Don't be concerned about your failures; instead, be concerned about the opportunities you
pass up.
Attention, retention, reciprocation, and motivation are the aspects that Bandura uses in his theory
of observational learning. It highlights the significance of social factors while also emphasizing the value of
personal control. In addition, Bandura claims that the major goal of observational learning is to learn by
observation, imitation, and modeling.
The elements of success that Dweck uses in his growth mindset theory are effort, tenacity,
determination, hard work, enthusiasm, and discipline. Fixed mindset is a term he coined to characterize
people's basic views about learning and intellect. Simply put, kids who put up a lot of effort get smarter;
students who believe in themselves become stronger and better, which leads to bigger successes. If you have
a negative thinking, you will not achieve anything and will eventually become disappointed and upset.
Clarity, challenge, acceptance, feedback, and complexity are the elements that Locke uses in his goal-
setting philosophy. According to this notion, everyone who has a goal-setting strategy motivates us. And in
all of the tasks that we must complete. There are always challenges that we may face in the near future, but
having a goal-setting strategy makes things easier. Make the appropriate decision at the proper time and
place is a solid example of a goal-setting strategy. Allowing your emotions to make decisions for you is not
a good idea.

2. Self-efficacy Collage. Make a collage of your own perceived self-efficacy using Dr. Albert Bandura’s four
sources of influence for the development and maintenance of self-efficacy.
 3. Graphic Organizer. Make an artistic graphic organizer to differentiate fixed mindset from growth mindset
of Dr. Carol Dweck. Highlight the definition, description, characteristics, examples of situations where each
mindset are developed, and their advantages and disadvantages.

A fixed mindset means that you believe

A growth mindset means that you believe your intelligence is fixed—so if you’re not good at
intelligence and talents can be developed over tim e. something, you might believe you’ll never be good at i t
4. Goal Setting Plan. Make a goal setting plan (short term for one semester only) based on what you learned
from Locke’s goal setting theory.
GOAL: By the end of the semester, I will have improved my cumulative GPA.
PLAN:
Attend each class on a daily basis.
Study Everyday
I'll go through my notes before class begins, and
I'll go over them again as quickly as possible after class ends.
I will attend instructor/TA office hours.
I'll go to the support desk once a week.
In each lesson, I will meet a new student.
I'll go through each exam thoroughly to see where I went wrong.
SELF-EVALUATION:
I'll figure out how my grade is determined so I'll always know how I'm doing.
I'm going to get to know the instructor so that I can get feedback on my progress.

5. Dream Board. Make your dream board, five years after college graduation
