To measure the achievement goal orientations of pharmacy students attending a 3-year (accelerated) doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) program.
A 16-item survey based on the Achievement Goal Questionnaire (AGQ) was administered to first-year (P1) and second-year (P2) pharmacy students at the Appalachian College of Pharmacy (ACP). Students were instructed to indicate to what degree each statement was true for them using a 7-point Likert scale (1=not true of me, 7=very true of me).
One hundred twenty of the 155 students (77%) completed the survey. Most students had mastery-approach, mastery-avoidance, performance-approach, and/or performance-avoidance goal orientations; few had work-avoidance goal orientations. Second-year students and male students had higher work-avoidance mean scores than did P1 students and female students (p<0.05).
Pharmacy students were mastery- and performance-oriented learners, and most did not have work-avoidance goal orientations. Male students and P2 students had higher work-avoidance than did female students and P1 students, respectively. More longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these findings.
评估参加三年制（加速）药学博士（PharmD）项目的药学专业学生的成就目标导向。
对阿巴拉契亚药学院（ACP）的一年级（P1）和二年级（P2）药学专业学生进行了一项基于成就目标问卷（AGQ）的包含16个条目的调查。学生们被要求使用7点李克特量表（1 = 对我不适用，7 = 对我非常适用）指出每个陈述对他们来说在多大程度上是真实的。
155名学生中有120名（77%）完成了调查。大多数学生具有掌握趋近、掌握回避、成绩趋近和/或成绩回避目标导向；很少有学生具有回避努力目标导向。二年级学生和男生的回避努力平均得分高于一年级学生和女生（p<0.05）。
药学专业学生是掌握导向和成绩导向的学习者，大多数学生没有回避努力目标导向。男生和二年级学生的回避努力程度分别高于女生和一年级学生。需要更多的纵向研究来证实这些发现。
