Year: 2007
Type: review
Study designs: Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis
Abstract: Students' self-efficacy and achievement motivation may influence their academic achievement.Through meta-analysis, this study examines relationships of students' selfefficacy, mastery goal orientation, and performance goal orientation to their achievement.Also, this study analyzes these relationships with achievement across grade levels.This study had three purposes: 1) to compare the strength of relationships among self-efficacy, goal orientation, and academic achievement; 2) to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and achievement when mastery orientation is statistically removed;3) to determine if differences exist when comparing these relationships across grade levels.Self-efficacy was most strongly related to student achievement, followed by mastery orientation and then performance orientation.The relationship between selfefficacy and achievement was less strong when mastery goal orientation was statistically removed.However, this relationship between self-efficacy and achievement was still higher than that between mastery orientation and achievement.Last, relationships between mastery orientation and performance orientation with achievement differ across grade levels.
