Results The score of learning burnout in public-funded normal students was higher than that in non-public-funded normal students(t=2.632,P<0.05). The score of learning burnout,achievement approach goal,mastery approach goal,achievement avoidance goal,mastery avoidance goal and professional commitment in public-funded normal students was (2.98±0.48),(3.28±0.64),(3.06±0.56),(2.69±0.65),(3.39±0.67) and (3.24±0.51) points,respectively. The achievement approach goal was negatively correlated with learning burnout in public-funded normal students(r=-0.108,P<0.05),mastery approach goal was negatively correlated with learning burnout(r=-0.456,P<0.01),achievement avoidance goal was positively correlated with learning burnout(r=0.131,P<0.05). The professional commitment played an intermediary role between mastery approach goal and learning burnout,with an intermediary effect value of -0.169,accounting for 42.04%. Conclusion The level of learning burnout of public-funded normal students is higher than that of non-public-funded normal students,the achievement approaching goal of public-funded normal school students not only affect learning burnout through professional commitment,but also directly affect learning burnout.
