Abstract

This study investigated the causal relationships between high school student multiple-choice algorithmic chemistry problem solving and 1) the motivational variables of achievement goal (task goal/performance goal/performance-avoidance) and perceived ability, and 2) the cognitive variables of learning strategy (deep learning/surface learning) and self-regulation. Path analysis supported a causal model in which perceived ability and task goal were found to positively influence algorithmic chemistry problem-solving ability via self-regulation. In particular it was found that perceived ability directly influenced algorithmic chemistry problem-solving ability. Moreover, deep learning was found to have been influenced by perceived ability and task goal, while surface learning was influenced by performance-avoidance goal. Lastly, there did not appear to be any causal relationship between learning strategy and algorithmic chemistry problem-solving ability.

본 연구에서는 고등학교 학생들의 성취 목적(과제지향/수행 지향/수행 회피), 유능감 등의 동기 변인과 학습 전략(심층적/피상적), 자기 조절 능력 등의 인지 변인 및 화학 선다형 수리 문제 해결력 사이의 인과관계를 경로 분석을 통해 조사하였다. 연구 결과, 유능감과 과제 지향 목적은 자기 조절 능력을 통하여 화학 수리 문제 해결력에 긍정적 영향을 미쳤으며, 특히 유능감은 인지 변인을 경유하지 않고도 직접적으로 화학 수리 문제 해결력에 긍정적 영향을 주는 것으로 조사되었다. 인지 변인 중 심층적 학습 전략은 유능감과 과제 지향 목적의 영향을 받았고 피상적 학습 전략은 수행 회피 목적의 영향을 받았으나, 이러한 학습 전략과 화학 수리 문제 해결력 사이에는 인과관계가 존재하지 않았다.
