Implementing the use of learning goals is a teaching strategy that had the purpose of making the participant/student responsible for their own learning in order to awaken metacognitive processes in professional academic performance. This study provides progress in relation to the application of this strategy at the beginning of the training experience in the Learning Theories and Teaching Techniques Curricular Unit, of the Specialization Program in Teaching in Higher Education, José Antonio Páez University, Carabobo State, Venezuela. We worked with 22 participants taking the program. The goal orientation perspective allowed us to explore the interest and commitment of the participants through self-report; It also involved developing a task in a concise, realistic and evaluable way based on what you aspire to achieve, how you are going to achieve it, what you have and within what time. The methodology presents a qualitative approach to the data of an interpretive, deductive/inductive phenomenological condition, given the object of analysis and applied to the educational field. Content Analysis was used through the use of the Atlas Ti program. The results indicate that the strategy gave rise to the development of metacognitive processes towards each of the dimensions worked on, also highlighting Self-regulation Skills when describing the goal related to academic tasks; Therefore, it contributed to the exercise of critical reflective thinking towards professional teacher training and to the development of attitudinal competencies oriented towards achievement motivation.
