Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the factorial dimensioning of the Goal Orientation Scale in the context of the Faculty of Education at the University of Alicante. Three hundred fifty-seven students in Grade Teacher (Nursery and Primary) took part in this research, with an average age of 21.09 years. Factor, reliability, discrimination and correlational analysis are conducted. The results show the existence of avoidance of the per formance, the approach of the per formance, avoidance of work, and approach to learning goals. The model fits the data. Some interesting conclusions are derived and lines of work are proposed for future research.
