Abstract
The objective is to identify the association of academic goals pursued by students in seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh grade, in relation to the variable sex. The sample is made up of 54 students (32 men, 22 women). The Academic Goals Questionnaire was applied (Hayamizu and Weiner, 1991). The results indicate that there is a significant difference between men and women, so that academic intentions and goals are different according to gender.
