CORRELATION BETWEEN ACHIEVEMENT GOAL ORIENTATION AND MOTIVATED LEARNING STRATEGIES OF BACHELOR OF TECHNOLOGY AND LIVELIHOOD EDUCATION OF MARINDUQUE STATE COLLEGE

Abstract

The motivational processes affecting learning, the academic success of a student is highly dependent on what motivates a person to study or also known as someone’s goal orientation. Moreover, motivation affects the willingness to learn and predicts learners’ self-regulatory strategies. To further explore the nature of achievement goals, motivation, and learning strategies, this quantitative study is conducted to determine the relationship between achievement goal orientation and motivated learning strategies of BTLED students of the Marinduque State College wherein the instrument used will be questions from the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) by Pintrich and DeGroot (1990) and the Achievement Goal Questionnaire-Revised (AGQ-R) by Elliot and Murayama (2008). For the results of the study, the researcher found out that BTLED students mainly focus on understanding and learning their course materials through using their task motivation and perception regarding the importance of course works. Thus, it implies that the achievement goals have an influence on the motivated beliefs and learning strategies wherein students who are motivated to learn through a variety of goals may adapt learning strategies during their learning process. Therefore, the researcher recommends the implementation of intervention programs designed to directly teach students optimal approaches to studying which can aid their learning process of course materials and adopting particular achievement goal orientations.
