poster presentations at LWI, take two

Jennifer Horn (Texas Tech) discusses her poster presentation, "Not-So-Magnificent Obsession:  Performance vs. Professionalism."  Her research focused on the way that individuals approach learning (with a learning orientation or a performance orientation) and how a student's orientation shapes the reaction to feedback: learners see feedback as useful information to help them improve, while performers see feedback as judgmental information about their innate ability and lack belief that effort will improve that ability.
