Abstract
This study analyzes the differences of academic goals in students of Compulsory Secondary Education depending on the course, and identifies the motivational profiles and their relationship with academic achievement in the subjects of Spanish Language and Mathematics. A sample of 596 students were selected by random sampling clusters, which were in public schools. The results showed the existence of significant differences in average scores of the academic goals depending of the grade. Likewise, it was found that motivation is determined by three types of motivational profiles, which are related to different levels of academic achievement in Spanish Language and Mathematics.
