Avoidance Goals

This study utilized a 2 × 2 achievement goal model to explore a relationship between achievement goals and social goals, and how these goals are associated with junior high school students’ self-reported persistence toward physical activities. A total of 246 students from four junior high schools participated in the study. The results revealed that mastery-approach goals, social responsibility goals, and performance-approach goals were significantly positive predictors of persistence, whereas mastery-avoidance goals, performance-avoidance goals, and social relationship goals were not significant predictors of persistence. Additionally, girls scored significantly higher values on social relationship, social responsibility, and mastery-avoidance goals than boys, whereas boys reported significantly higher values on performance-approach goals than girls. Findings provide empirical support to the view that both achievement goals and social goals should be used to examine student motivation and achievement in junior high school physical education settings while considering gender differences.

Mastery Approach

Abstract The present study aimed to identify, describe and analyze the achievement goals of 207 high school students in a city in São Paulo state. The instruments were the Characterization Questionnaire and Achievement Goals Questionnaire. The results indicate a major tendency to adopt the mastery-approach goal, where the student engages the activity with the purpose of developing their skills. The second more adopted goal was performance-avoidance goal, in which students tend to want to show their skills to others not to appear incompetent for them. These results above may be related to a great intension of students in completing the high school and enter the University, results also found in this study. Comprehend Achievement Goals can contribute to understanding the quality of motivation that the students apply in their activities.

And Performance

The aim of this research is to investigate success purpose tendencies of high school students related to the high school type variable. The data was obtained through a developed questionaire for 796 students attending different high schools in Amasya and 2x2 Achievement Goals Questionnaires. For the analyses of the data t-test, one-way variance analysis and (LSD) test to determine the differerence among the groups in the variance analysis and ki-square test were used. Furthermore, descriptive statistical scores that the students got from the scale   were presented.  When the averages investigated, it is seen that learning approach sub-scale average scores are the highest and performance avoidance average scores are the lowest. It is found out that female students have higher average scores related to learning approach and learning avoidance sub-scale whereas the male students have higher average scores in performance approach and performance avoidance sub-scale. There has seen no difference in the class level success purpose tendency average scores of the students related to the class levels. When the scores of the students related to the high school type investigated, there has seen no difference in the learning avoidance sub-scale average scores regarding to the type of school. However, there is a statistically difference in the average scores of the other sub-scale. There is a meaningful relationship between the success perception of the students and success purpose tendency sub-scale in which the students got the highest scores. The adoption in the  the percentage of learning approach tendency of the students who accept themselves partially successful  is  higher than the percentage of learning approach tendency of the students who see themselves partially unsuccessful.The adoption in the  the percentage of learning avoidance and performance avoidance tendency of the students who accept themselves partially unsuccessful is higher than the percentage of the performance approach tendency of the students who see themselves unsuccessful.ÖzetLise tipi öğrencilerinin yönelimlerinin amacı bu araştırmanın başarı hedeflerine ulaşmaktır. İlde farklı okullarda okuyan 796 öğrenciden Veri Amasya anketi oluşturulmuş ve Oryantasyon Ölçeği ile 2x2 Başarı Hedefleri toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde ANOVA (LSD) testi ve ki-kare testi kullanılarak farklı grupların tespiti için t testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi ve en az anlamlı fark kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca, öğrencilerden elde edilen ölçek puanlarının betimsel istatistikleri sunulmuştur. En yüksek öğrenim yaklaşımı alt puan ortalamaları incelenirken, ortalama performans kaçınma alt ölçek puanları en düşük olarak bulunmuştur.Kızların öğrenme yaklaşımı ve kaçınma alt ölçeği öğrenme, performans yaklaşımı ve performans kaçınma alt ölçekleri erkeklerin puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Not ortalaması, başarı notu ortalamalarına göre başarı puan ortalamalarına göre farklılık göstermektedir. Lise öğrencileri, kaçınma alt ölçeği puan ortalamalarının lise türüne göre değiştiği öğrenme türlerine göre puanları incelediğinde; Diğer alt ölçek puanlarında ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin başarılarının objektif algılanması ile en yüksek puanı aldıkları yönelim oryantasyon alt ölçeği arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur.Kendi kendine kısmen başarılı olan ve yaklaşma hedeflerini öğrenen öğrencilerin yüzdesinin başarılı bir şekilde benimsenmesi, kısmen görenlerin başarısız ve başarısız olmasından daha fazladır.
