成就目标是个体在能力情境中努力达到的认知表征的最终状态。经过教育心理学家的深入研究，成就目标是学生成绩、兴趣和动机的有力预测指标。本文运用成就目标理论测量CS1学生的成就目标及其对CS的兴趣和期末考试成绩。我们发现，以掌握主题为目标的学生对计算机科学产生了兴趣，并且与理论预期相反，他们在考试中表现出色。更复杂的结果模式围绕着那些倾向于能力展示或规范比较的学生，这种表现目标和结果之间的联系不太清楚。我们主张继续运用教育理论来指导我们对计算机科学成功的研究。
Achievement goals are cognitively-represented end states that individuals strive to reach in competence situations. Well-studied by educational psychologists, achievement goals are robust predictors of grades, interest, and motivation of students. In this paper, we apply achievement goal theory to measure CS1 students' achievement goals and consequent interest in CS and final exam grade. We find that students aiming for topic mastery become interested in CS and, contrary to theoretical expectations, perform well on the exam. A more complex pattern of results surrounds students who orient toward competence demonstration or normative comparison, and the link between such performance goals and outcomes is less clear. We argue for the continued appropriation of educational theory to inform our studies of CS success.
