Abstract
The current research aims to identify the level of academic achievement motivation among the research sample of middle school students and to identify statistically significant differences according to the gender and specialization variables for the academic year (2023-2024). The researchers built a tool to measure academic achievement motivation. After extracting validity and calculating reliability, the alpha coefficient reached (0.80) and the half-splitting coefficient (Spearman-Brown) for correction, as the reliability of the scale reached (0.83) and the retest (0.85), the scale became in its final form (40) paragraphs. The scale was applied to a random stratified sample of (280) male and female students. For the purpose of statistically processing the data, the researchers used Pearson's correlation coefficient and the t-test for a single sample, and the t-test for the two independent samples. The results showed an average level of academic achievement motivation among intermediate school students. There are no statistically significant differences between males and females according to the gender variable, and there are no statistically significant differences between scientific and literary braches according to the variable of specialization. The research came out with many recommendations and suggestions.
