The sample included 30 people (15 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group) who were randomly selected. The tools of the present research included Reeve & Tseng’s Student Engagement Questionnaire (SEQ) and Solomon's academic procrastination questionnaire (APQ). The research design is semi-experimental and the people of the sample group were randomly placed in the designed training sessions. Motivation package training based on goal orientation was implemented in 12-90-minute sessions. After the end of the twelfth session, the questionnaires were completed again as a post-test. The pre-test and post-test were also conducted by the control group. No intervention was done on the control group. Then the data was analyzed using spss-22 software. Multivariate covariance analysis was used to analyze the data.Results: The findings showed that the goal-based orientation motivation package training is effective on academic engagement and procrastination of secondary school girl students.Conclusion: Considering the effect of goal-orientation based motivation trainingon increasing academic engagement and reducing academic procrastination of students, this method can be used to improve the performance of academic variables in students.
