Psychological Mechanism and Countermeasures of High School Students’ Deviation from Subjects—Research Based on Goal Orientation Theory

Abstract

The issue of students’ subject bias has attracted widespread attention in high school teaching. Currently, researchers have conducted in-depth research on the reasons for students’ subject bias, but there is still little analysis from the perspective of student goal orientation. Therefore, this study adopts the inductive method to study the literature related to goal orientation theory, an analysis was conducted on the relationship between student goal orientation and subject bias based on various academic theories. Research finds that different environmental and psychological factors can affect students’ choices of internal and external driving forces, thereby affecting their goal choices, while tasks of different difficulty can also affect students’ tendency to avoid. Ultimately, students’ goal orientation choices will affect learning outcomes. In high school teaching, educators should pay attention to guiding students towards goal orientation, designing learning difficulties based on students’ learning abilities, in order to achieve good teaching results.
