Goal instructions specify the goal of a discussion.
This study examines the effect of goal instructions on students' reasoning and argumentation in an interactive context (discussing a topic on-line).
The PCA resulted in a two-component structure, with one component focusing on the quality of instructional organisation (goals, instructions, assessment and feedback) and the other component focusing on usability.
To determine the effectiveness of the testing procedure, we surveyed the participants' perceptions regarding the key elements in the instructional setting of the automated testing station (goals, instructions, assessment and feedback) and elements related to the setup.
In addition to professional development offered to teachers, we created for each activity a teacher guide that included links to the learning goals, instructions for the use of interactive models and a suggested lesson plan with proposed discussion starters as well as answers to each of the questions embedded within the activity.

The intervention used nine specific BCTs: Intention formation, barrier identification, specific goal setting, instruction, general encouragement, self-monitoring of behaviour social support, review of behavioural goals and relapse prevention.

It was concluded that movement demonstrations alone do not facilitate learning of a novel coordination task, unless additional goal-directed instruction is provided.
However, the principles and main goals of instruction in the foundational concepts and skills in these aspects are far from universally agreed upon, and practice varies substantially from country to country.
