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.
