Abstract/Summary

Personal investment theory has three key components: facilitating conditions, sense of self, and achievement goals. The relationships of these components were explored with the end of clarifying their confluence as they affect Filipino adolescent students achievement. Model 1 (serial model) and model 2 (parallel model) were proposed and tested through path analysis. The fit indices indicated that the data from 1,694 Filipino adolescent students (public schools, n=823 private schools, n=871) fitted model 2 considerably well. The better fitting model (parallel model) captures the independent effects of external factor (facilitating conditions) and internal factor (sense of self) in influencing students achievement via their achievement goals. The model was further validated to public and private school data. As captured by parallel model, results indicated that, in comparison with public school students, better facilitating conditions were provided to private school students which influenced the endorsement of achievement goals leading to their achievement. Further, higher level of sense of self of private school students influenced their achievement goals leading to their achievement. Discussions focused on the confluence of human agencies: social agency and personal agency in influencing the personal investment of the public and private school expected to impact students academic achievement.
