Problem Statement: Motivation plays an important role in explaning students' academic achievement. In an effort to explain students' purposes for learning and their reasons why they engage in a learning activity, different achievement goal models (dichotomous, trichotomous, and 2x2) has been proposed over time. The present study aimed to extend previous research by employing the most recent model -2x2 achievement goal framework-, using multilevel analysis techniques at the high school level.
Purpose of Study:The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between Turkish high school students' learning strategies and their goal orientations in chemistry course using multilevel analysis. Learning strategies included rehearsal, elaboration, organization, critical thinking, and metacognitive self-regulation; while, goal orientations consisted of performance-approach, performance-avoidance, masteryapproach, and mastery-avoidance goals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
