The Role of Social Goals in Academic Success: Recounting the Process of Conducting a Systematic Review

Abstract

Motivational theorists have long subscribed to the idea that human behavior is fundamentally driven by needs and goals. A goal perspective provides us with insights on the organization of affect, cognition, and behavior in specific contexts, and how these may change depending on different goals (Dweck 1992). The interest in goals is also prominent in the educational realm, which led to a boom of research with a focus on achievement goals (Kiefer and Ryan 2008; Mansfield 2012). Although this research provided significant insights into the role of motivation, it does not provide a holistic view of the goals pursued in academic contexts. Students pursue multiple goals in the classroom (Lemos 1996; Mansfield 2009, 2010, 2012; Solmon 2006), all of which need to be considered to understand students' motivations and behaviors. Many prominent researchers argue that social goals should be regarded with the same importance as achievement goals (e.g., Covington 2000; Dowson and McInerney 2001; Urdan and Maehr 1995), as they too have implications for academic adjustment and success. For instance,

Computer Science Unplugged: A Systematic Literature Review

“…This stage of the process identified and recorded information systematically from each of the relevant studies (Goagoses & Koglin, 2020). A Google Sheet was used to record information about each of the studies in an organized form.…”

“…The selection of appropriate keywords was deemed significant to reach the most relevant studies in the search process (Goagoses & Koglin, 2020). The keyword "unplugged" was used in the search process since the primary aim of the current study was to reveal the current state of research relating to the field of CS unplugged.…”

Bilgisayar Destekli Matematik Eğitimi Alanında 2015-2019 Yılları Arasında Yapılan Araştırmaların İncelenmesi

“…Diğer aşamada incelenen her makale ile ilgili elde edilen veriler düzenli bir şekilde tanımlanmalı ve kayıt altına alınması gerekir (Goagoses ve Koglin, 2020 Çalışmanın ilk araştırma sorusu kapsamında incelenen makalelerin demografik özellikleri; makale basım yılı, yazar sayısı, anahtar kelimeler ve araştırma verilerinin toplandığı bölgeden oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın ikinci araştırma sorusu kapsamında makaleler araştırma yöntemi, örneklem düzeyi ve büyüklüğü, kullanılan veri toplama araçları ve veri analizi yöntemleri gibi metodolojik özelliklerine göre analiz edilmiştir.…”

“…Then, databases to be searched were defined as 'TR Indeks' as well as 'DergiPark' journal management system. In the next step, appropriate keywords need to be selected (Goagoses & Koglin, 2020). 'Mathematics' and 'computer assisted instruction' , 'CAI', 'computer assisted education' were defined for the search.…”

“…Araştırma amacına uygun çalışmaların listelenmesi için bir sonraki adımda en uygun anahtar kelimelerin belirlenmesi gerekir (Goagoses ve Koglin, 2020). Anahtar kelimeler olarak "matematik" ile "bilgisayar destekli eğitim", "BDE", "bilgisayar destekli öğretim", "BDÖ" terimleri kullanılmıştır.…”
