Abstract

Aim: The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of future perspective education on goal orientation and academic hope in 11th grade male students of Baghmalek city (Iran). Methods: The current experimental research design included a pre-test and post-test experiment with a control group. The population of this research included all 11th grade male students in Baghmalek city in the academic year of 1400-1401 (persian calendar). Among these individuals, 48 persons who met the criteria for entering the research were selected through multi-stage random sampling method and were placed in two experimental (n=24) and control (n=24) groups. In this research, Goal Orientation Questionnaire and Education Hope Questionnaire were used. After the pre-test, the experimental group received the educational perspective of the future vision during nine 60 to 90 minutes sessions. Then a post-test was taken from both groups. Findings: The results of multivariate and univariate covariance analysis showed that future perspective education had a significant effect on the dimensions of goal orientation (dominant, dominant-avoidant, performance-oriented and performance-avoidant) and academic hope in 11^th grade male students (p > 0.005). Conclusion: In general, the results of this research showed that teaching the future perspective is effective on goal orientation and educational hope and can be used to improve the academic hope and goal orientation of 11^th grade male students.
