Abstract	Two studies evaluated the contribution of goal orientation--over and above the constructs of planned behavior theory--in explaining the relationship between attitudes, motivation, and academic achievement for students with and without learning disabilities. Results indicated that a performance-approach orientation exerted significant positive effects on all elements of planned behavior theory, whereas the effects of performance-avoidance orientation were minimal and mostly on the negative side (Study I). It was also found that while a mastery orientation was adaptive for both groups, a performance-approach orientation was more adaptive for the LD group compared to the non-LD student group (Study II). Within-groups analyses suggested that achievement was associated with a unique network of relationships, that was different for the two groups: for the LD student group, intentions were influenced strongly by the normative system, whereas for non-LD students, they were mediated by individual's own attitudes.
