Resumen

Metas de logro y emociones se han revelado como condicionantes de los resultados académicos. Mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, este estudio evalúa las relaciones entre metas de aprendizaje, de rendimiento-aproximación y de rendimiento-evitación, esperanza, ansiedad y rendimiento en la clase de Lengua en una muestra de 642 estudiantes de secundaria españoles de 12 a 18 años. Los resultados evidenciaron las siguientes relaciones: la esperanza fue explicada positivamente por la meta de aprendizaje y por la de rendimiento-aproximación, y negativamente por la de rendimiento-evitación; en cuanto a la ansiedad, la meta de rendimiento-evitación la predijo positivamente, mientras que las otras dos metas la predijeron negativamente. En conjunto, metas, ansiedad y esperanza explicaron el 57% de la varianza del rendimiento; los nexos indirectos entre metas y rendimiento, parcialmente mediados por la esperanza y la ansiedad, fueron significativos. Se concluye discutiendo posibles aplicaciones de los resultados al contexto escolar.

Abstract

Achievement goals and emotions are considered to be conditioning factors for academic performance. A structural equations model was used to assess the relationship between mastery, performance-approach, and performance-avoidance goals, hope, anxiety, and achievement in Spanish language in a sample of 642 Spanish secondary education students aged 12 to 18 years. The results revealed that hope was positively explained by mastery and performance-approach goals, and negatively by performance-avoidance goal; whereas anxiety was positively predicted by performance-avoidance goals and negatively by the other two goals. On the whole, goals, anxiety and hope explained 57% of the variance of academic achievement; the indirect nexus between goals and achievement, partially mediated by hope and anxiety, were significant. The results are discussed in terms of enhancing academic performance in school contexts.
