초록

Despite a growing research base involving motivation constructs inliteracy and their relationships to achievement, few studies have examinedthe structural relationship among literacy attitudes, class engagement, andliteracy achievement. The present study particularly focused on threemotivational constructs: self-efficacy, attitudes, and value and theirrelationship with class engagement and literacy achievement. Usingstructural equation modeling (SEM), the researchers analyzed the datafrom Korean National Literacy Achievement Test (2007) and reported thataffective aspects of literacy predicted both class engagement and literacyachievement significantly. In addition, the class engagement served therole as a mediator of the effects of motivational components of literacy onliteracy achievement in Korean middle school students.
