“…As past studies found, positive correlation was also found between learning and proving dimensions of goal orientation levels (Gafoor and Kurukkan, 2015;Nitsche et al, 2011;Yerdelen et al, 2014;Buldur, 2014;Roebken, 2007;Eppler and Harju, 1997;Vu, 2016). Likewise, as per the results of this study, negative correlation was found between learning and avoidance dimensions of goal orientation levels (Gafoor and Kurukkan, 2015;Eryenen, 2008;Payne et al, 2007); and negative correlation was found between proving and avoiding dimensions of goal orientation levels (Pulkka and Niemivirta, 2013;Jones et al, 2017).…”

This study aims to review and provide new perspectives for academic goal orientation. The study introduces first chronological history of goal orientation and depicts how goal orientation evolved into a new construct in learning from the discussion on motivational factors. At first, this study isolates goal orientation from motivation and provides novel insights into goal orientation as a separated factor affecting learning. Then, this study provides analyses of the adaptation work of the academic goal orientation questionnaire into the Turkish language. The translated scale was applied to a sample of 729 undergraduate students, 376 (51.6%) of which were female and 353 (48.4%) of which were male students at a state university in Turkey. For the structure validity of the translated scale, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out. Exploratory factor analysis yielded a three-factor structure of thirteen items accounting for 66.5% of the variance. Confirmatory factor analysis results suggested that the tested model of the translated scale yielded satisfactory goodness of fit. The total score of the translated academic goal orientation instrument is reliable (Cronbach's α = .84). The literature and the results from the application of the instrument suggest that the translated instrument offers valuable input into the curricula and syllabi in higher education in addition to providing insights to lecturers about the perceptions of the students towards the courses.

“…Araştırmacılara göre performans yaklaşma yönelimi uyumlu davranışların performans kaçınma yönelimi ise uyumsuz davranışların bir yordayıcısıdır (Elliot ve Harackiewicz, 1994). Buna ilişkin olarak alan yazın incelendiğinde, performans kaçınma amaç yöneliminin akademik başarı (Eum ve Rice, 2011), düşük akademik stres (Kim, Lim ve Noh, 2016), denetim odağı (Buluş, 2011), olumlu mükemmelliyetçilik (Eum ve Rice, 2011) gibi olumlu psikolojik değişkenler ile negatif; sınav kaygısı (Eum ve Rice, 2011), dışsal motivasyon (Yerdelen, Aydin, Yalmanci ve Goksu, 2014), yüzeysel strateji kullanımı (Diseth, 2011), olumsuz mükemmeliyetçilik (Eum ve Rice) gibi olumsuz psikolojik değişkenler ile ise pozitif ilişki halinde olduğu görülmüştür. Mevcut araştırma anadolu lisesindeki öğrenciler ile gerçekleştirilmiştir.…”

Bu çalışmanın amacı ergenlerde ebeveyne bağlanma ile okul yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkide amaç yönelimlerinin aracı rolünü test etmektir. Araştırmada farklı anadolu liselerinde öğrenim görmekte olan 391 öğrenciye (224 kız ve 167 erkek) Ebeveyn ve Arkadaşlara Bağlanma Envanteri, Başarı Yönelimleri Ölçeği ve Çok Boyutlu Öğrenci Yaşam Doyumu Okul Alt Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Veriler Pearson momentler çarpımı korelasyon katsayısı ve yapısal eşitlik modeli analizleri kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları, ergenlerde ebeveyne bağlanma ile okul yaşam doyumu arasındaki ilişkide öğrenme amaç yöneliminin kısmi aracı role sahip olduğunu göstermiştir.

“…Achievement goal orientation which expresses the reasons why individuals want to learn and their beliefs in determining their goals in order to be successful (Ames, 1992), is examined in two parts as learning and performance goals (Ames & Archer, 1988). In the goal orientation theory, the reasons and motivation levels of the students' performance in learning environments are taken into consideration (Ames, 1992) and it is thought that the students' academic learning orientations should be emphasized in this direction (Yerdelen, Aydın, Gürbüzoğlu-Yalmancı & Göksu, 2014). In this context, in today's education system, it is aimed to increase the learning orientation levels and to provide appropriate learning orientations along with the intrinsic motivation of the students (Hırst, Knıppenberg & Zhan, 2009).…”
