- Abstract
- Korean middle school students' achievement goals,
self-efficacy, and help-seeking avoidance in math were
compared to those of U.S. students. Korean students
demonstrated significantly stronger performance-approach
goals compared to European American students. Math
self-efficacy beliefs of Korean students were significantly
weaker than those of European American and African
American students. Whereas performance-approach and
performance-avoidance goals of European American
students were not significantly couelated, those of Korean
and African American students were. in particular,
performance-approach goals conelated positively with
mastery goals and self-efficacy for Korean students.
Findings were more consistent with the predictions
generated hom the learning environment research than the
individualism-collectivism contrasts. The results suggest
that each goal may function differently across cultures.
