Özet
Goal orientations (as part of motivational beliefs)
and the effects of the social environment on learners’ goal orientations have gained
attention by researchers in recent years. In an attempt to develop tools that
researchers can utilize to collect data regarding Turkish students’ personal
goal orientations and perceived parent goal orientations, the present study
aimed to adapt the personal and perceived parent goal orientations sections of
the Patterns of Adaptive Learning Scales (PALS). A total of 358 students
studying in high schools across Turkey participated in the study. The responses
to the Likert-scale items were analyzed in the SPSS software for Exploratory
Factor Analysis (EFA) and in the AMOS software for Confirmatory Factor Analysis
(CFA). EFA results indicated the latent structure of five factors: Perceived
Parent Performance Goal Orientation (PPGO), Perceived Parent Mastery Goal
Orientation (PMGO), Student Performance Goal Orientation (SPGO), Student
Performance Avoidance Goal Orientation (SPAGO), and Student Mastery Goal
Orientation (SMGO). This factor structure was confirmed via CFA. The validity
and reliability of the final version of the questionnaire as well as the
reasons for why the deleted items did not pass validation criteria are
discussed in detail.
