Özet:

This study aims at determining the relationship between achievement goal orientations and flow experiences in the academic context for high school students. In line with this purpose, Achievement Goal Orientation Scale and Flow Scale in the Academic Context were developed. After-wards, the relationships between learning and performance-approach goal orientations and flow experience were tested by structural equation modelling. The sample of this study consisted of 1916 students continu-ing their education in fourteen different state high schools in Turkey. Results demonstrated that learning-goal orientation predicted flow experience positively and at a high level; however, there was no relation between performance-approach goal orientation and flow experience. The results were interpreted in the light of literature, and suggestions for future research were presented.
