The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between selected Academic Goal Orientation (mastery-avoidance and performance-avoidance) and Junior Secondary School Students’ Performance in Home Economics in Uyo Educational Zone of Akwa Ibom State. Two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted a survey research design. The population for the study comprised of 3000 Junior Secondary school students in Uyo educational zone. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select 250 students as sample for the study. Two instruments were used for data collection; a structured questionnaire tagged Academic Goal Orientation Questionnaire (AGOQ) and Home Economics Performance Test (HEPT). Data obtained was analysed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis. The study revealed that there is a significant relationship between mastery-avoidance and performance-avoidance and students’ performance in Home Economics. Thus, the null hypotheses were rejected. Based on the findings of the study, recommendations have been made.
