    This research aims at identifying the effect of a guiding              the program on increasing the educational achievement desire       of the intermediate school students on the following hypotheses:

1- There are no statistical differences, on the measurement scale at 0.05 level , among the range of the control group grades in the pre and post tests of the educational achievement desire.

2- There are no statistical differences, on the measurement scale at 0.05 level, among the range of the experimental group grades in the pre and post tests of the educational achievement desire.

3- There are no statistical differences, on the measurement scale at 0.05 level, among the range of the experimental and control groups grades in the post test of the educational achievement desire.

   The sample taken for the research is represented by the intermediate school students in the center of Province of Diyala in 2015-2016.

    In order to achieve the goals and hypotheses of the study,          the researcher constructed a scale for the educational achievement desire. Besides, he constructed a guiding program on stop thinking technique after figuring out the probable average and the percentage measure of the scale items.

    The researcher made sure of the scale items efficiency by checking the apparent correctness of the scale, its construction and firmness.

   The guiding program was applied to a sample of 20 students divided into two groups; the experimental and the control group, ten students each.

   The results of the research show that there are statistical differences, at 0.05 level on the educational achievement desire scale,  between the experimental and  the control group. This is due to the effect of the applied guiding program on the experimental group at the time the control group did not receive that.

   At the end of the study, the researcher presented recommendations and suggestions for this problem.
