A Study on Relationship between Achievement Motivation and Academic Achievement in English among High School Students

The aim of this longitudinal study was to Relationship between Achievement Motivation and Academic Achievement in English among High School Students. A sample of 300 students participated in the study. Results of structural equation modeling showed that mastery goals approach and avoidance were indirect predictors of both behavioral and cognitive engagement through seeking help from teachers. Performance goals avoidance, but not approach orientation were associated with cognitive engagement through help seeking behaviors. Overall, these results suggest that achievement goals are key drivers of changes in academic engagement in early high school and that their contribution is explained by seeking help from teachers. Practical implications, limitations, and future research directions are discussed. Mr. CP. Senthil Kumar | Dr. T.
