Abstract

ABSTRACT The objectives of this research were to find out the differences of (1) university EFL students’ help seeking behaviours and attitude towards assignment in different level of students’ GPA and (2) university EFL students’ help seeking behaviours and perception of classroom social climate in different students’ year of study. This ex-post facto research applied cluster random sampling technique taking three classes in English Department Undergraduate Program, State University of Makassar as the subject of this research. The data were collected by using students’ documentation, questionnaires and interview. The results of this research showed that (1) the differences existed in all examined aspects of the students’ help seeking behaviours; their orientation to seek help (instrumental, executive, and avoidance), and their attitude towards assignments; their belief (expectancy and value belief), and their goal orientation in doing assignments (mastery, performance, and work avoidance), except their help seeking initiative and controlling emotion in terms of students’ GPA, and (2) the differences existed in all examined aspects of the students’ help seeking behaviours; their orientation to seek help (executive and avoidance), and their perception of classroom social climate in terms of their peer participation, except their instrumental help seeking, help seeking initiative, and classmates’ helpfulness in terms of students’ year of study. The researcher concluded that (1) there are differences in EFL university students’ help seeking behaviours and attitude towards assignments in terms of students’ GPA. The students’ help seeking behaviours have association with the students’ attitude towards assignments and the students’ achievement (GPA). The higher GPA of the students, the more adaptive their help seeking behaviours and the more positive their attitude toward assignments, and (2) there are differences in EFL university students’ help seeking behaviours and perception of classroom social climate in terms of students’ year of study. The students’ help seeking behaviours have association with the classroom social climate and the students’ year of study. Keywords: academic help seeking behaviours, academic achievement, year of study
