Research Article: Do Achievement Goals Differently Orient Students’ Academic Engagement Through Learning Strategy and Academic Self-Efficacy and Vary by Grade

Abstract:
With the development of globalization, education is gradually moving towards communication and integration in various countries. The combination of “learning” as the center, learning process, and value-added results has gradually become a common value trend in educational evaluation. Transforming from a teaching center to engaging in intrinsic motivation driven and process orientation learning of students has become one of the global educational common points. In line with this, the Chinese document “Overall Plan for Deepening the Reform of Education Evaluation in the New Era” (China [] No. ) clearly proposes to improve the academic evaluation system that essentially combines process assessment and result assessment. The document tended to resolutely change the practice of evaluating students with scores, instead of innovating the process evaluation method of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. The reforms tended to improve the comprehensive quality evaluation system, steadily promote the comprehensive reform of the college entrance examination, and gradually transform the enrollment model based solely on exam scores. It means that the previous practice of using external learning motivation to guide students to engage in learning by achieving good scores is no longer suitable for the purpose and requirements of education in the new era. How to stimulate students’ intrinsic learning motivation, enable them to master effective learning strategies, gain a sense of ability in learning, and then be willing to invest time and energy in learning activities are vital in the new era. The students know how to learn and adhere to long-term high-quality learning has become a trend of educational reform in the new era. Therefore, focusing on the driving mechanism of academic engagement, conducting research on the relationship between high school students’ academic engagement and their achievement goal orientation, learning strategies, and academic self-efficacy are vital to promote the global educational reform. The current study research on internal driven, process orientation academic engagement and promote the reform of teaching evaluation in Chinese high and secondary schools has important academic and practice value.
