Goal Setting Theory and Its Application in Middle School Music Teaching

New Directions in Goal-Setting Theory

Goal-setting theory is summarized regarding the effectiveness of specific, difficult goals; the relationship of goals to affect; the mediators of goal effects; the relation of goals to self-efficacy; the moderators of goal effects; and the generality of goal effects across people, tasks, countries, time spans, experimental designs, goal sources (i.e., self-set, set jointly with others, or assig...

Software for Teaching Music Theory

We discuss a software development project named Chorale Composer that seeks to create a cohesive student environment for learning techniques in harmonic analysis and counterpoint. Through the use of sophisticated four-part algorithmic analysis, student-input music is immediately scanned for anomalous voice leading and chord construction. The algorithms employed are rigorously model-based and do...

FUZZY SOFT MATRIX THEORY AND ITS APPLICATION IN DECISION MAKING

In this work, we define fuzzy soft ($fs$) matrices and theiroperations which are more functional to make theoretical studies inthe $fs$-set theory. We then define products of $fs$-matrices andstudy their properties. We finally construct a $fs$-$max$-$min$decision making method which can be successfully applied to theproblems that contain uncertainties.

The Application of Goal Setting to Sports

Studies of goal setting both in organizations and the laboratory have found that (a) specific, difficult goals lead to better performance than vague or easy goals; (b) shortterm goals can facilitate the achievement of long-term goals; (c) goals affect performance by affecting effort, persistence, and direction of attention, and by motivating strategy development; (d) feedback regarding progress...
