Abstract

Several studies have highlighted the applicability of approach and avoidance constructs in achievement goals as people aim to either prove their competencies or avoid doing so. This is even more apparent in higher education. The aim of this paper is to determine the implementation of a questionnaire on achievement goals for students with a specialization in Physical Education at the Universidad de Granada, and compare the results with sporting, academic and professional variables, using 140 students from the aforementioned specialization in two universities. The results showed that the students opt for mastery rather than performance, with similar values found between approach and avoidance. No links were found between the scale and the rest of the variables analyzed, and therefore it may be considered that motivational trends follow two differentiating paths. These findings highlight the need to rethink motivational strategies in order to redirect avoidance-prone students and encourage, insofar as is possible, students’ commitment and adherence to the learning process in physical education.
