Changes of goals (Performance vs. Mastery goal) from high school to college

I’m doing a survey to see how students’ goals (mastery goals - desire for knowledge- vs. performance goals – desire for grade) changed as they moved from high school to college.

Subject Group: My subject group will be the upperclassmen from Bryn Mawr. The reason for this is because, as my fellow students have suggested, freshmen haven’t been here long enough to develop habits yet.

My questions are:

When you were in high school.

1)      How much do you value your grade? (1-5) (1- not really, 5-greatly)

2)      How much is your desire for knowledge? (1-5) (1- not really, 5-greatly)

3)      On average, how many hours do you sleep a night?

1.      9+ hours

2.      9-7 hours

3.      7-5 hours

4.      5-3 hours

5.      3 or less hours

4)      On average, how many hours do you study per night?

1.      4+ hours

2.      4-3 hours

3.      3-2 hours

4.      2-1 hours

5.      1 or less hours

Now that you are in college.

5.)    How much do you value your grade? (1-5) (1- not really, 5-greatly)

6.)    How much is your desire for knowledge? (1-5) (1- not really, 5-greatly)

7.)    On average, how many hours do you sleep a night?

1.      9+ hours

2.      9-7 hours

3.      7-5 hours

4.      5-3 hours

5.      3 or less hours

8.)    On average, how many hours do you study per night?

1.      4+ hours

2.      4-3 hours

3.      3-2 hours

4.      2-1 hours

5.      1 or less hours
