Penelitian ini berusaha melihat hubungan antara goal orientation dengan prestasi akademis pada Fakultas Psikologi Universitas Indonesia. Goal orientation diukur dengan menggunakan alat ukur ?goal orientation? yang dikembangkan oleh Larasati (2010). Sedangkan untuk mengukur prestasi akademis dilihat dari IPK terakhir yang diraih oleh partisipan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan yang positif dan signifikan antara goal orientation dengan prestasi akademis. Lebih lanjut lagi, ditemukan adanya hubungan positif yang lemah antara learning goal orientation terhadap prestasi akademis, namun terdapat hubungan positif yang signifikan antara performance goal orientation terhadap prestasi akademis. Selain itu ditemukan bahwa mahasiswa yang menggunakan learning dan performance goal orientation yang tinggi secara bersamaan, mencapai prestasi akademis terbaik dibandingkan dengan mahasiswa yang hanya menggunakan salah satu goal orientation maupun kedua goal orientation secara rendah. Berdasarkan jenis kelamin, tidak ditemukan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan antara goal orientation, learning goal orientation, maupun performance goal orientation antara laki-laki dan perempuan. Namun perempuan secara signifikan lebih tinggi dalam prestasi akademis dibandingkan dengan laki-laki.

The result from this study is there?s a positive and significant relationship between goal orientation and academic achievement. Furthermore, it was founded that learning goal orientation has a positive but weak relationship with academic achievement, whereas performance goal orientation has a positive and significant relationship with academic achievement.
