Öz

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between motivation to class engagement and life goals for adolescents. Study group composed of 218 high school students, aged 14-17 in Keçiören, Ankara. Data gathered through two instruments: Determining Life Goals in the Context of Positive Psychotherapy and Motivation to Class Engagement Questionnaire. Data was analyzed with descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. Findings indicated that high school students were motivated to class engagement when they determine career success and body sense goals. These two goals explained an important proportion of the variation in the motivation to class engagement. Findings in general indicated that for students determining life goals was important. Thus, life-goals attainment programs may be prepared for high school students. Rest of the findings was compared and contrasted with the findings in the literature
