Answer:
Goal setting was indeed effective in motivating performance.
Explanation:
Goal setting is an important motivating step, which aims at listing and making clear the achievements one is working towards and the steps taken in achieving them.
One major long term goal set was a career goal aimed at achieving becoming an embryologist. The following steps were followed in achieving this goal.
- Research was done on embryology and the requirements for becoming an embryologist.
- After the research, approaches to each step were listed and worked on individually comprising;
- The degree to enroll for as an undergraduate
- Degree to enroll for as a postgraduate
- Internship plans and possible locations
- Writing personal research papers
- Preparing mentally and physically for the task ahead was also a very important step to take to avoid getting weary at a point of challenge
- Time frames had to be assigned to certain steps of achieving this goal, to introduce discipline in achieving this goal.
Setting these goals and listing out steps to take at every point, motivated performance as a clear cut plan was set out, making it easier to map out strategies for achieving each step. The introduction of time-specific steps further increased performance.
Using the goal-setting theory, I would change the feedback level I permitted in achieving my goal by involving more key individuals in the field of study to judge correctly or nearly correctly, what the progress pattern has been. This will guide me in identifying points of need for change in either strategies or time frame or a need for a totally different pattern of steps in achieving that goal altogether.
Answer:
My goal for this workout was to do at least five pull-ups by the end of the program. Last time, I couldn’t do any. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it. Part of the problem was the added 20-minute jog in the intermediate program. I calculated that if I run at a speed of 5 miles per hour for 20 minutes, that’s over one mile of jogging! That’s a lot of running for someone like me. Starting the program with such a long jog left me no gas in the tank for the pull-ups later on.
