Marilena Pantziara et al., « The role of multiple goals in students' motivation and achievement », HAL-SHS : sciences de l'éducation, ID : 10670/1.vse66s
Studies in the area of achievement motivation have made a distinction between mastery and performance goals. Many studies investigated the positive and negative outcomes from the adoption of each goal in students' behaviour and achievement. Recently, there is an ongoing discussion concerning the role of multiple goals in understanding students' behaviour and achievement. This paper addresses the role of mastery goals, performance goals and multiple goals, in students' mathematics achievement and motivation. Data were collected from 620 6 th graders (study A, N=299 and study B, N=321). The results of both studies were consistent regarding the effect of the different multiple goals profiles on students' achievement and motivation.
