This study has been conducted to find how self-consciousness and achievement goal-orientation influences
intrinsic motivation among pre-service teachers. The subjects were students at a university of education in the
central area and data was collected through a survey method. A total of 328 subjects were analyzed in the
study. Data analysis was performed through descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, reliability analysis,
exploratory/confirmatory factor analysis, and the structural equation model. In this study, verification was done
through the four subordinate concept of the achievement goal-orientation. These were performance- avoidance,
performance-approach, mastery-avoidance, and mastery-approach self-consciousness, and the structural model
between achievement goal-orientation, and intrinsic motivation were verified through the four concepts. The
results showed that performance-approach and mastery approach, which are categorized under the
achievement goal-orientation approach, showed a positive influence on intrinsic motivation, while performance
avoidance and mastery-avoidance, which are categorized under the achievement goal-orientation avoidance,
showed to have a negative influence on intrinsic motivation. Private self-consciousness showed to have a
positive influence on mastery-approach, which performance avoidance and mastery avoidance have a negative
influence. Excluding mastery approach, public self-consciousness showed a positive influence on all
performance-approach, performance-avoidance, and mastery-avoidance.
