Abstract

The dynamic and context-dependent achievement goal pursuit of adolescent learners and its relationship to learning outcomes were examined with an experience sampling method during the weekend before the midterm examination. Forty-five students in Grades 7 to 9 responded to the survey assessing achievement goals, emotions, self-control, and cognitive strategies via their smart phone 12 times during three consecutive days on the weekend before the midterm examination. The multilevel data revealed that the students’ psychological states varied and co-varied with each other intra- and inter-individually. The extent to which students adopted each achievement goal at any given moment predicted different learning outcomes. Changes in priority among the five achievement goals at the individual-level were explored by inspecting the descriptive graphs.
