Abstract
While other researchers have examined achievement-goal structures, academicrelated perceptions, beliefs, strategies, and sense of school belonging in other settings, this study aimed to examine relationships in high-stakes test-focused learning environments. Student ratings on scales measuring perceived goal structures, academicrelated perceptions, beliefs, strategies, and sense of school belonging were correlated with achievement level scores on 2005 FCAT Reading and Mathematics. Participants who scored below grade level on 2005 FCAT Reading and Mathematics related positively to maladaptive coping strategies, self-handicapping, disruptive behavior, selfpresentation of low achievement, and skepticism about the relevance of school for future success.
