摘要：This study shows the role of achievement goal as predictors on students’ academic achievement for three subjects: English, Mathematics, and Science. Achievement goal concern with what, why and how the students are motivated in different learning situation. Four dimensions of achievement goal were being investigated; performance approach, mastery approach, mastery avoidance and performance avoidance. The sample comprised of 400 secondary school students from ordinary high school in Selangor state. The correlation results showed that performance avoidance had small correlation and significant relationship with academic achievement for all three subjects. However, regression analysis shows that performance avoidance only predicted achievement in English subject. Meanwhile, mastery avoidance predicted students’ academic achievement for all three subjects. It can be concluded that students are more inclined towards the avoidance goals where they tend to feel fear of the negative outcome.
