Abstract
The psychometrical quality of instruments to measure goal orientations of students
in competence-based Pre-Vocational Secondary Education (PVSE) was tested in a
study that was carried out with 31 participants. The students’ goal orientations were
measured by means of semi-structured interviews, questionnaires and an online
sorting task. Based on the results of the study, the questionnaire appeared to measure
the goal orientation of the students most efficiently. Depending on the results of the
questionnaire, it can be concluded that 24 of the 31 participants had a mastery goal
orientation when working in work place simulation. The other 7 students had a
preference for work avoidance orientation. Goals and motivation of the PVSE
students are strongly related to task value.
