| Sumario: | High school is a key stage in which stu dents must make decisions that will shape their academic future. This study analyses the internal and external motivations that influence student choice in an upper se condary education programme. A sample of 234 students at this stage in Spain was studied. An ad hoc questionnaire with 21 Likert-type items was administered, and comparative analyses were performed using Student’s t-tests to determine the incidence of internal and external motivations in each modality. The results show a predominance of external motivation in both science and technology and social science students, although in the latter the difference between internal and external motivation is smaller. These findings de monstrate the coexistence of both types of motivation and the need to strengthen teaching strategies that promote better acquisition of content and skills to refine programme choice. |
