Betsy McCoach Neag School of Education University of Connecticut Expects to Succeed (Environmental Perception) Task Engagement and Achievement Possesses Adequate Skills to Perform the Task Motivation Values the Task or Outcome (Meaningfulness) Confident in One’s Ability to Perform the Task (Self-Efficacy) Peers • Each of the four elements of the model (Meaningfulness, Self-Efficacy, Environmental Perception, and Self-Regulation) is usually present in individuals who achieve at a level commensurate with their abilities. Some of these factors may be stronger than others, but overall, achievement-oriented individuals display a combination of all four traits. Remediation can be based on diagnosing which element or elements are deficit and addressing them. Two individuals might have very different remediation programs based on their achievement-orientation profiles. c. Del Siegle
