To compare the achievement goal orientations of first-year with those of third-year undergraduate Australian pharmacy students and to examine the relationship of goal orientations to academic achievement.
The Achievement Goal Questionnaire was administered to first-year and third-year students during class time. Students' grades were obtained from course coordinators.
More first-year students adopted performance-approach and mastery-approach goals than did third-year students. Performance-approach goals were positively correlated with academic achievement in the first year. Chinese Australian students scored the highest in adopting performance-approach goals. Vietnamese Australian students adopted mastery-avoidance goals more than other ethnicities. First-year students were more strongly performance approach goal-oriented than third-year students.
Adopting performance-approach goals was positively correlated with academic achievement, while adopting avoidance goals was not. Ethnicity has an effect on the adoption of achievement goals and academic achievement.
比较澳大利亚本科一年级与三年级药学专业学生的成就目标取向,并研究目标取向与学业成绩之间的关系。
在课堂上对一年级和三年级学生进行成就目标问卷调查。学生成绩由课程协调员提供。
与三年级学生相比,更多的一年级学生采用成绩趋近和掌握趋近目标。成绩趋近目标与一年级的学业成绩呈正相关。华裔澳大利亚学生在采用成绩趋近目标方面得分最高。越南裔澳大利亚学生比其他种族更多地采用掌握回避目标。一年级学生比三年级学生更强烈地以成绩趋近目标为导向。
采用成绩趋近目标与学业成绩呈正相关,而采用回避目标则不然。种族对成就目标的采用和学业成绩有影响。
