Gender Differences in Goal Orientation Between High School students in Physical Education Classes
Within kinesiology activities, concerning Nicholls’s achievement theory, we distinguish “task” goal orientation/involvement and “ego” goal orientation/involvement, according to which students evaluated their own competence. The main aim and significance of this study was to determine if gender differences exist for high-school students in task and ego orientation. The sample included 211 high school students, males and females between 14 and 17 years of age (N=211, Nf =80, Nm=131). Individual differences in goal orientation of students have been assessed by the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire – TEOSQ (Duda et.al, 1995, adapted for a Croatian population sample by Barić in 2001). The basic descriptive indicators were calculated, and the t-test was applied to test gender differences in goal orientation. The results showed that there were gender differences in ego orientation. Although males were more ego oriented than girls (t=-3.9 ; p=0.00), the results showed that both male and female students were dominantly task oriented. In conclusion, high school students have a desirable goal orientation that directs them to learn new skills, to achieve personal improvement and to complete all the given tasks.
