1. Students’ learning goals may be structured to promote cooperative, competitive, or individualistic efforts. In every classroom, instructional activities are aimed at accomplishing goals and are conducted under a goal structure.
2. A learning goal is a desired future state of demonstrating competence or mastery in the subject area being studied.
3. The goal structure specifies the ways in which students will interact with each other and the teacher during the instructional session.
4. Each goal structure has its place and in the ideal classroom, all students would learn how to work cooperatively with others, compete for fun and enjoyment, and work autonomously on their own.
5. The teacher decides which goal structure to implement within each lesson.
6. The most important goal structure, and the one that should be used the majority of the time in learning situations, is cooperation.
