Özet

This study examined students' personal achievement goals and their perceived parents' goal emphases in science. A total of 295 seventh-grade students completed the Achievement Goal Questionnaire and the Perceived Parent Goal Emphases Scale. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed an interaction between perceived parents' mastery approach goal emphasis and perceived parents' performance approach goal emphasis on students' adoption of mastery approach goals in science. Besides that perceived performance approach goal emphasis significantly predicted students' performance approach goals. © 2012 HKIEd APFSLT.
