Abstract

Achievement goals is based on having goals as motives. It is imperative that educators can comprehend the motivation of their students to better help them perform well academically. This study thus explored the dimensions associated with the achievement goals of Filipino college students. 288 respondents participated in the study. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was used to extract the factors associated with achievement goals. Four (4) factors were extracted, namely: future orientation goals; performance goals; social orientation goals and mastery goals. The first factor is new to achievement goals. An added component to social orientation goals was studying well to give thanks to a higher being. Another new dimension to mastery goal was not just studying for the sake of learning but adding a goal that is oriented towards being of service to others.
