Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify distinctive achievement goal patterns of students and examine their influence on learning strategies (deep/surface) and science achievement. Cluster analysis procedure was performed to classify students on the basis of task, performance, and performance-avoidance goal scores. The results produced 3 clusters of students with different achievement goal patterns: high task goal (cluster 1), high task-high performance goal (cluster 2), and low task-low performance goal (cluster 3). One-way ANOVA results revealed that the scores of cluster 2 were significantly higher than those of clusters 1 and 3 in deep learning strategy. The science achievement test scores of clusters 1 and 2 were higher than those of cluster 3. Looking at surface learning strategy, however, the test scores of cluster 3 were significantly higher than those of clusters 1 and 2. The educational implications of these findings are discussed.

본 연구는 군집 분석을 통해 학생들의 복합적인 성취 목적 양식을 확인하고, 이것이 학습 전략(심층적/피상적)과 과학 성취도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 성취 목적(과제 지향/수행 지향/수행 회피)에 대해 군집 분석을 실시한 결과, '과제 지향 목적이 높은 집단(군집 1)'. '과제 지향 목적과 수행 지향 목적이 모두 높은 집단(군집 2)', '과제 지향 목적과 수행 지향 목적이 모두 낮은 집단(군집 3)'으로 구분되었다. 일원 변량 분석 결과, 심층적 학습 전략에서 군집 2의 평균이 군집 1과 군집 3보다 유의미하게 높았으며, 과학 성취도에서 군집 1과 군집 2의 평균이 군집 3보다 유의미하게 높은 것으로 나타났다. 피상적 학습 전략에서는 군집 3의 평균이 군집 1과 군집 2보다 유의미하게 높았다. 본 연구 결과에 대한 교육적 함의를 논의하였다.
