The purpose of this study was to predict academic self-efficacy based on learning strategies, taking into account the mediating role of achievement goals. The research method is descriptive and is a type of structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the study was all students studying at Azad University of Tehran Markaz Branch in the academic year of 2016-17. The sample size was 401 students who were selected by clustering method (20 undergraduate classes from 5 faculties of Tehran central unit). The research tool was the self-efficacy questionnaire of Own and Feraman (1988), the scale of the Vienna-Stein learning strategies (1987), and achievement goals scale of Migley et al. (1988). The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results of data analysis showed that the predictive model of academic self-efficacy based on learning strategies, considering the mediating role of achievement goals based on the experimental data, has a good fit. The direct and indirect effects of learning strategies on academic self-efficacy of students were confirmed with 95% confidence. The achievement goals directly affect academic self-efficacy.

Background: Students’ academic satisfaction and achievement as indicators of academic adjustment are important concepts in education, and important factors apart from cognitive abilities have considerable role on them. Aim: The purpose of present research was to study relation between two-dimensional perfectionism and achievement goals with academic satisfaction and achievement in form of a proposed model. Method: In this purpose, 319 students (140 boys and 179 girls) were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling among primary and secondary high school in region five of Tehran. They answered to Achievement Goal Orientation Questionnaire, Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale, and Child and Adolescent Perfectionism Scale. Data were analyzed by path analysis by using AMOS software. Result: The results showed that dimensions of perfectionism directly and indirectly affect on academic satisfaction and achievement. Also, achievement goals are effective on academic satisfaction and achievement as a mediator variable. Conclusion: Particular pattern of beliefs and motivation, the egocentric perfectionism and mastery goal orientation Causes academic satisfaction.

One of the main educational goals teachers and parents expect the students to attain is the ability to solve problems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the causal relationship between achievement goals and self-regulation strategies with math problem-solving performance. To this aim, casual-correlational research method was adopted, and two questionnaires on achievement goals (Elliot & McGregor, 2001) and self-regulation strategies (Pintrich et. al, 1991) as well as a math test were used. The results indicated that only motivational strategies had a direct impact on problem-solving. Moreover, mastery-approach and performance-approach goals had a direct impact on cognitive, metacognitive, motivational and resource management strategies but an indirect impact on problem-solving performance. The findings are in line with some earlier studies but in contrast with some others. The important point is the low variance of problem-solving performance. One of the factors contributing to such a low variance might be the fact that cognitive, metacognitive and resource management strategies have had no impact on problem-solving variable.
