성취목표지향성, 학교소속감 및 학교생활만족도 간의 관계 분석

초록

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of individual differences in motivational achievement goal orientations on satisfaction with school life and the mediating role of sense of belonging. This study used survey data from 555 1st through 3rd grade high school students enrolled at an arts high school in Gyeonggi-do. As a result, Sense of belonging showed significant relations to satisfaction with school life, whereas individual goal orientations did not show significant relationship to school life satisfaction except for mastery-approach goal orientation. Although known for its positive relationship to students' emotions, mastery-approach goal orientation showed negative relation to satisfaction with school life in this study. However, such negative relationship between mastery-approach goal orientation and satisfaction with school life became positive through mediation of the sense of belonging. The findings of this study is meaningful in that it verified not only the mediating effect of sense of belonging between individual achievement goal orientations and satisfaction with school life, but also empirically confirmed that sociological variables such as sense of belonging had even stronger relation to satisfaction of school life than personal variables such as one’s personal achievement goal orientation which had been known as a critical factor that could affects students’ emotions in classroom. In order to increase student's school life satisfaction, the results from this study suggest there is a need to make school environment so that students could obtain sense of belonging.
