The purposes of this study was to develop an Achievement Goal Orientation Program and to confirm its effects on achievement goal orientation, self-determination, test anxiety, and academic achievement.
To achieve these purposes, the research questions were established as follows;
First, Would the achievement goal orientation program have positive effects on the achievement goal orientation?
Second, Would the achievement goal orientation program have an effect on the self-determination?
Third, Would the achievement goal orientation program have an effect on the test anxiety?
Finally, Would the achievement goal orientation program have an effect on the academic achievement?
To resolve the research questions, two groups were set up, one for experiment and the other for control. The experiment group was composed of 67 students at grades 5 and 6, and the control group was composed of 65 students at grades 5 and 6.
The experiment group was given the achievement goal orientation program for 3 weeks. The program was composed of 10 sessions each one of 40-minute activities. The control group did not receive any treatments.
The data were analyzed by using SPSS 12.0 for windows.
The results of this study were as follows;
First, the achievement goal orientation program had a significant effect on the achievement goal orientation by reducing performance avoidance goal.
Second, the achievement goal orientation program had a partially significant effect on the self-determination.
Third, the achievement goal orientation program had a partially significant effect on the test anxiety.
Finally, the achievement goal orientation program had a significant effect on the improvement of academic achievement in mathematics and Korean.
Based on the idea mentioned above, it is shown that the achievement goal orientation program had effects on achievement goal orientation, self-determination, test anxiety, and academic achievement.
