Examining attendance, performance and interest in a CS course in relation to students’ achievement goal orientation and self-evaluation
Апстракт
There has been a lot of research related to the
prediction of students’ interest in a course and course
performance. The findings are especially important for
those fields (and courses) with high failure and dropout
rates, such as computer science. Although many research in
computer science education involve various motivational
and learning strategy frameworks (like achievement goal
orientation and Motivated Strategies for Learning
Questionnaire – MSLQ), very few involve interest,
attendance and self-evaluation. In this study, the aim was to
see whether students’ achievement goal orientation and self-
evaluation of their pre-faculty programming knowledge are
related to course performance, attendance and interest in an
introductory computer science course. Additionally, we
wanted to see if attendance and interest relate to course
performance. The findings suggest that only task-approach
has a positive correlation with final test scores (but not with
mid-term test score...s), and that all AGO constructs except
other-avoidance correlate positively with interest. Also,
attendance has a positive correlation with mid-term test
scores (but not with final test scores) while interest has a
positive correlation with both mid-term and final test scores.
Finally, we suspect that attendance and mid-term test
findings may be somewhat influenced by course and faculty
policies.
