ABSTRACT

This research paper focuses on the correlation between 2x2 achievement oriented objective and belief in competence. First of all, through previous conducted studies on 4 factors of each ``achievement oriented objective (mastery approach, proficiency avoidance, training approach, effort avoidance) and ``belief in one`s artistic competence``(actual belief, growing belief), we had came up with 8 hypothesis to establish our research model. We had sampled 129 college musicology students who lived in Seoul city and GyungGi province. The research model was conducted with a multiple regression analysis. The results shows that goal oriented students who craft their skills for much higher achievement tends to increase their confidence. In other words, the students believed that their work ethic are highly rewarding. On the other hand, ``effort avoiding`` students tends to be the more talented group. And the results show that their effort in learning is ineffectual. Instead of using ``achievement oriented objective`` and ``belief in one`s artistic competence`` as a theoretical measurement in research studies, we have to look over the student`s actually musical performance to test their overall musical talent.
