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.

This study aimed to compare the emotional processing, help seeking and goal achievement in students with high and low test anxiety. The research method is Descriptive with causal-comparative type. The population of this study consisted of all students of High School Level II of Ardabil city in the academic years of 2014-15, that of these, 160 students (80 ones per groups) were selected by random multi stages clustering sampling method and responded to the Backer emotional processing questionnaire, Ryan and Pentrich help seeking questionnaire, Midgley and et al achievement goals questionnaire and Spielberger test anxiety questionnaire. Multivariate Analysis of Variance was used to analyze the data. Results showed that there exist a significant differences between students with high and low test anxiety in terms of emotional processing, help seeking and goal achievement (P<0/01). So that compared with students low test anxiety, the average score of emotional processing techniques, accepting help seeking, Mastery and performance-approach goals of students with high test anxiety were significantly lower (P<0/01) and the average score of avoidance of help seeking and performance-avoidance goals were significantly more (P<0/01). Thus, we can conclude that emotional processing, help seeking and achievement goals are among the variables of interest in students with high test anxiety and requires programs for managing correctly of these variables.

The aim of this study is to investigate the role of achievement motivation and goal orientation in the academic performance of students. In this study, 246 university students of Islamic Azad University of Abdanan selected through stratified random sampling and responded to Achievement Motivation Questionnaire (AMQ) and Elliot and McGregor development goals questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multiple regression and Pearson Correlation. The results showed that between the components of achievement motivation, hardworking and between the component elements of achievement goals, Mastery Approach have a significant effect on academic performance and can explain%21 of the total variance of academic performance. The application of these findings is that in order to save resources and time saving, between the eight components only planning to strengthen and upgrade two components is required, hardworking and Mastery Approach improve academic performance and providing programs to improve efficiency in other components is not required.

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.

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.
