Title: | Trajectories of Self-efficacy and Achievement Goals: A Developmental Approach | Contributor(s): | Phan, Huy (author) | Publication Date: | 2012 | DOI: | 10.5539/jedp.v2n2p110 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/11440 | Abstract: | An emerging interest in cognition and motivation has recently involved the study of rate of change of self-efficacy and achievement goals. We used latent growth modeling (LGM) to test a structural equation model that involved prior academic grades, self-efficacy, mastery and performance-approach goals, and academic achievement measured over a two-year period. A sample of 228 (106 females, 122 males) of second-year students enrolled in mathematic participated in this study. Multivariate growth curve analyses indicated statistically significant effects of prior academic achievement on the intercept factors of the three mentioned constructs; prior academic achievement also exerted a negative effect on the slope factor of mastery goals, and a positive effect on mathematic achievement. Examination of the three trajectories showed increases in change in all three constructs. Evidence ascertained from this research investigation is informative in instructional policies and applied teaching practices. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Educational and Developmental Psychology, 2(2), p. 110-126 | Publisher: | Canadian Center of Science and Education | Place of Publication: | Canada | ISSN: | 1927-0534 1927-0526 |
