Abstract

This research describes the behavior of students of a Colombian university before a validated test from which you can measure motivational components and use of learning strategies in the subjects. The correlation of subcategories between a scale of motivation and a scale of learning strategies was analyzed in order to establish the type of associations that could happen. 547 students from different undergraduate programs of the University of Caldas, took the Questionnaire of Motivation and Learning Strategies (CMEA). Positive correlation was found between orientation to intrinsic goals with orientation to extrinsic goals, value of the task and self-efficacy for learning; orientation to extrinsic goals with task value, control beliefs, self-efficacy for learning and test anxiety; value of the task with self-efficacy for learning and control beliefs with anxiety before the exams. All the items of the learning strategies scale (less the regulation of effort) are correlated in a positive way, effort regulation was not associated to the learning with elaboration. likewise, when the items of the motivation scale and the learning strategies were crossed, the associations were direct in most cases once again, except for control beliefs against organization and control beliefs against peer learning.
