Notice of Retraction: Correlations among classroom achievement goals, personal achievement goals, and junior school students' academic achievement

Abstract

Based on data from 221 junior school students, the characteristics of classroom achievement goals, personal achievement goals and academic achievement were investigated, and the relations of these three variables were also explored. The results showed that: there were significant grade differences between classroom mastery goals and personal mastery goals, and gender differences between personal mastery goals and academic achievement; classroom mastery goals correlated positively with personal mastery goals and academic achievement; classroom performance goals correlated negatively with personal mastery goals and academic achievement, but positively with personal performance goals; and personal mastery goals correlated positively with academic achievement.
