Eve is generally a pleasant student. When her class is given independent time to
work, she is always the first to turn to work with a partner. While she appears to be
engaged in conversation when the teacher checks on her, the conversations are
often not about the assignment. When her teacher makes a comment about this
behavior, Eve says, "Oh, it's okay. I'm grounded and I'll get the assignment done at
home tonight." And, indeed, she does, and the work is done well. Her goal
orientations in class are likely to be:
social
performance
mastery
work avoidance
