4. Results & Interpretation
The results in Table 2 indicate student success depended on both intrinsic and extrinsic goals. In particular, intrinsic goals tended to predominate over extrinsic goals. As shown in Table 3 students in The Accounting School (AS)who attributed their learning success to extrinsic goals (e.g. passing the CPA exam, finding a good job) accounted for only 28.4% of total students while 70% of students (59.6% for Intrinsic and 12.0% for both goals) claimed their motivation was based on intrinsic goals. According to Table 2, the intrinsic goals included accounting knowledge acquirement (KNOWLEDGE), thinking skill acquirement (THINK), network development (NETWORK) and horizon extension (HORIZON).
