Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A child who concentrates on learning strategies when faced with a difficulty or a challenge is exhibiting a mastery orientation. This means that the child is focused on developing their skills and improving their abilities, rather than simply seeking external rewards or avoiding failure. A mastery orientation is considered a more positive and productive mindset for learning and growth. A helpless orientation (choice A) is characterized by a belief that one's abilities are fixed and cannot be improved, leading to a lack of motivation and persistence. A neutral mindset (choice C) is not a recognized orientation and does not provide enough information to describe the child's approach to learning. High extrinsic motivation (choice D) refers to a motivation to engage in an activity based on external rewards or pressure, rather than personal interest or intrinsic motivation, and does not necessarily imply a mastery orientation.
