The impact of student motivation on success is well documented in the literature reviewed, as is the fact that motivation is itself impacted by task. However, the relationship between writing task and motivational factors related to writing goals and writing self-efficacy are less clear. Guided by social-cognitive theory, the study employs embedded mixed-methods research to qualitatively code instructor assignments in an emergent fashion. Two quantitative surveys were used to measure student Achievement Goal and writing self-efficacy with respect to instructor assignment genres. Results from this study indicate that student Achievement Goals do not change in relation to assignment genre, but that there are significant differences in self-efficacy between writing genres. In particular, Mastery Goals are positively correlated with self-efficacy, while Performance Avoidance Goals are negatively correlated with self-efficacy, Relational Reflective Writing, and Creative Identity. 2024-12 Thesis https://hdl.handle.net/2142/127196 Copyright 2024 Zachary Petrea Educ Policy, Orgzn & Leadrshp Educ Policy, Orgzn & Leadrshp University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Ed.D.
