Effects
of Students' Perception of Teachers' and Parents' Attitudes on
Their Achievement Goals and Learning Strategies
H. Yamauchi & K. Miki |
This
study examined the relations among students' perceptions of their
teachers' and parents' attitudes (attitudes of mastery and performance
goal orientations), achievement goal orientations (mastery, performance
and work-avoidance orientations), and learning strategies (deep processing,
surface processing and self-handicapping strategies). Participants
were 235 (119 girls and 116 boys) seventh grade and 169 (91 girls
and 78 boys) ninth grade students in a private junior high school.
Significant grade differences and sex differences were found in several
variables mentioned above. Some interaction effects were also significant.
Canonical correlation analyses were used to investigate the relations
of students' perceptions with achievement goal orientations and learning
strategies for the seventh and the ninth grade students. Implications
of the results were discussed. Key words: students' perception, goal orientation, learning strategy |
