An Achievement Motivation Analysis Of Students’ Academic And Career Choices At The University: Expectancy-value In Foreign Languages
Authors : Medjkoune Karim .
Abstract
The present study investigated students’ motivational profiles from their first experiences with foreign languages up to the decision to study English at the university. Subjects were thirty-eight (n 38) master’s students at the department of English at the University of Bejaia. The students completed a qualitative interview that asked them to explain the reasons of their choice of studying English at the university rather than other disciplines starting their justifications from the middle school up to the secondary school. The theoretical and methodological framework is the theory of achievement motivation from which we focused on expectancy-value theory. The results indicate that pupils’ achievement motivational profiles evolve as a function of their age, relation with teachers as well as their beliefs towards their abilities and the target language itself.
