Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the difference of gender of academic self-efficacy, external motivation, interest and science achievement for high school students of Korea and to verify the structural relationship among these variables using PISA 2006 data. The major findings of this study are as follows. According to Multi-group analysis, Latent means analysis (LMA), where boys were used as the reference group, girls showed lower latent mean values on the academic self-efficacy, extrinsic motivation and interest. Academic self-efficacy was found to have a greater effect on achievement compared to external motivation and interest. According to structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis, academic self-efficacy and extrinsic motivation affected interest. Academic selfefficacy, external motivation, and interest affected science achievement. Lastly, interest mediated academic selfefficacy and external motivation on science achievement.

본 연구는 고등학교 과학 과목에서의 학업적 자기 효능감, 외적동기, 흥미 및 성취도의 성별에 따른 잠재평균 분석 및 변인들 간의 구조적 관계를 규명하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 PISA 2006의 한국 학생 데이터를 사용하여 잠재평균 비교 및 변인 간의 인과관계를 살펴보았다. 다집단 분석의 잠재평균 비교 결과, 남학생을 참조집단으로 삼았을 때 여학생들의 잠재평균은 학업적 자기효능감, 외적동기, 흥미에서 모두 낮게 나타났다. 또, 학업적 자기효능감, 외적 동기는 흥미에 영향을 미쳤고, 학업성취도에는 학업적 자기효능감, 흥미, 외적 동기의 순으로 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 고등학교 과학과목에서 흥미 증진 및 성취도 향상을 위해 학업적 자기효능감을 높이고, 동기 진작 방안이 고려되어야 할 것이다.
