Goal Orientations and Achievement among Chinese Gifted Students in Hong Kong
Chan, David W.
High Ability Studies, v19 n1 p37-51 Jun 2008
This study examined four goal orientations and their relationships to achievement among 1041 Chinese gifted students in Hong Kong. These students endorsed learning and social goals over performance-approach and performance-avoidance goals. The endorsement of learning goals emerged consistently as the significant predictor predicting achievement in academic, non-academic, and social/leadership areas. Implications of the findings for coordinating different goal orientations for enhancing achievement in different areas are discussed. (Contains 4 tables.)
