Changes in self-efficacy, goal orientation, and learning behaviour occurred over the course of execution the task. As was shown, self-efficacy, goal orientations (i.e., mastery-approach, mastery-avoidance, and performance-approach), and surface learning changed. Besides these changes over time, the significant relations, for mastery-approach, self-efficacy, and surface learning at the three time points changed as well. First, mastery-approach significantly decreased from time A to C. Surface learning significantly increased from time B to C. Furthermore, the relation between mastery-approach and surface learning was found to be significant negatively associated at two time points (i.e., time point B and C). In other words, the changeability that was shown (i.e., increase surface learning and decrease mastery-approach) is reflected in the negative relation between both concepts, which was expected from previous research (Liem et al., 2008).
