Abstract
textabstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the role of perceived problem quality in the relationship between students’ (N =
226) achievement goals and autonomous motivation to study in a problem-based learning (PBL) environment. Specifically,
the relationships between students’ achievement goals (mastery-approach, performance-approach, performance-avoidance,
and mastery-avoidance goals), problem quality-related characteristics (triggering interest, familiarity, stimulating collaborative learning, resulting in intended learning objectives, and promoting critical reasoning), and autonomous motivation to
study were investigated. The findings indicate that the perceived quality of problems (i.e., familiarity, resulting in intended
learning objectives, promoting critical reasoning, and by that triggering interest) fosters autonomous motivation to study
and that the perception of this quality is influenced by students’ achievement goals. Therefore, the quality of problems and
students’ achievement goals should be taken into account in a PBL environment.
期刊介绍:
The Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning (IJPBL) will be a global outlet for PBL scholarship, representing excellence in discovery and promoting transformative educational pedagogy. IJPBL will provide access to the most current research and practice related to PBL pedagogy, thus enhancing efforts of both PBL scholars and practitioners. The mission of IJPBL is to Publish rigorous research, representing a variety of disciplines, related to problem-based learning Engage key and emerging scholars in significant discussion of key issues facing PBL researchers and practitioners Provide up-to-date information to scholars and practitioners who are new to PBL research and pedagogy, enabling them to address current gaps in the literature and/or to transform current learning environments and practices.
