2011
The purpose of this work was to study the components of the academic motivation and the motivational self-regulatory strategies in the middle school students. The sample is made up of 2,415 students. The studied motivation variables are: Beliefs of control and self-efficiency of learning, Anxiety, Selfefficiency for achievement, Task goal, self-defeating goal, self-enhancing goal, avoidance goal and several types of motivation strategies. Task goal is the highest valued motivational variable. The study of the academic goals as a whole, by means of cluster analysis, identified three students groups with multiple goal orientations. The group made up of more students is characterized by avoiding appearing less capable to their peers. On the other hand, in relation to motivational self-regulatory strategies, the more used strategy is involvement in the task through its management.
