Abstract

Classroom constitutes an achievement area not only for students but also for teachers. The aim of the present study was to examine relationships between teachers' and students' achievement goals, self-efficacy for learning and emotions. Ninety eight (98) teachers (49 teachers of Greek language and 49 teachers of mathematics) completed a measure of teachers' achievement goals and 949 secondary school students completed measures of positive and negative affect, personal achievement goal orientations, self-efficacy for learning and performance and anxiety. A series of multilevel analyses found that Greek language teachers' mastery orientation was negatively related to students' positive affect and performance-approach orientation whereas mathematics teachers' performance-approach orientation was positively related to students' self-efficacy. These findings support a social-interactionist perspective on achievement goals in the classroom and a multilevel understanding of the effects of teachers' achievement goals interpersonally.
