| description | Introduction: Several factors play a role in academic achievement,
individual’s excellence and capability to do actions and tasks that
the learner is in charge of in learning areas. The main goal of this
study was to present academic achievement causal model based
on the dimensions of goal orientation and learning approaches
among the students of Medical Science and Dentistry courses in
Guilan University of Medical Sciences in 2013.
Methods: This study is based on a cross-sectional model. The
participants included 175 first and second year students of the
Medical and Dentistry schools in Guilan University of Medical
Sciences selected by random cluster sampling [121 persons
(69%) Medical Basic Science students and 54 (30.9%) Dentistry
students]. The measurement tool included the Goal Orientation
Scale of Bouffard and Study Process Questionnaire of Biggs and
the students’ Grade Point Average. The study data were analyzed
using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equations
modeling. SPSS 14 and Amos were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results indicated a significant relationship between
goal orientation and learning strategies (P<0.05). In addition,
the results revealed that a significant relationship exists between
learning strategies [Deep Learning (r=0.37, P<0.05), Surface
Learning (r=-0.21, P<0.05)], and academic achievement. The
suggested model of research is fitted to the data of the research.
Conclusion: Results showed that the students’ academic
achievement model fits with experimental data, so it can be used in
learning principles which lead to students’ achievement in learning. |
