I am working on a research on achievement goal orientation as predictors of secondary school Chemistry students' achievement.
On further research I discovered that I can adopt the achievement goal theory in the course of this research.
I need to understand more about this, and how I can apply it in investigating academic achievement of secondary school Chemistry students'.
please check this article:
Article Achievement Goal Theory Review: An Application to School Psychology
and some related LR or articles in it.
hope able help you some, all the best!
Huey Shia Teo thank you so much for this wonderful recommendation. I really appreciate.
Achievement Goal Theory is a psychological framework that aims to explain how individuals' goals and motivations influence their behavior and performance in achievement settings. The theory suggests that individuals adopt different goal orientations or achievement goal orientations, which shape their behavior and responses to achievement-related situations.
Students with a mastery goal orientation are primarily focused on developing their skills, mastering new knowledge, and improving themselves. While students with a performance goal orientation are primarily focused on demonstrating their competence and outperforming others.
Developed by John Nicholls and Carol Dweck in the 1980s and has been widely studied in the context of education, particularly regarding academic achievement among students.
