The purposes of this study were: (1) to verify the goodness of fit between empirically observed data and Action Control Model proposed by the author, and (2) to establish the logistic regression model with observed data.
The participants were 780 students and 30 teachers from 13 junior high schools in Taiwan middle and northern area. The instruments used in this study include: Action Orientation Inventory, Awareness of Action Control Strategies Inventory, Action Control Strategies Inventory, Affective Response Inventory, and Teacher Rating Scale. The collected data were analyzed with LISRL and logistic regression analysis.
The results of this study were as follow: (1) Although the value of chi-square was significant at .05 level, other overall and internal structure model fit indices indicated that the Action Control Model fitted the observed data well. (2) Two logistic regression models proposed by the author could effectively predict students´ learning achievement and teacher rating scores. The correct classification rate, 67.95% or 69.10%, was significantly higher than that expected by chance alone.
