Summary/Abstract: The study characterizes the motivation and use of learning strategies of students differentiated by gender and level of schooling. Participants (603) answered the Spanish version of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire. A two-way ANOVA was performed to examine the main effects of the level of schooling and gender, as well as the interaction of these two factors on each scale of the MSLQ. The results show differences in participants’ motivational and strategic profile for the two variables considered, and their interaction. Findings are discussed in relation to previous studies.
