Abstract

 
 
 
The present study seeks to survey the mediatory role of achievement goals between class structure perception and cognitive engagement of students studying at the first grade of high school in governmental high schools of Ilam. Samples of the study were 288 male and 288 female students chosen through the multistage random Cluster sampling. The scales used were the indices of mastery structure of the class, avoidance structure of the class, mastery goals, performance-approach goals, performance-avoidance goals, self regulation, deep processing strategies and surface processing strategies. Validity and reliability of the methods used here have been reported to be suitable. The statistical method implemented in the study was "the structure modeling equation" done by the use of LISREL8.51 software. Results have shown that only the direct path of performance-approach goals towards deep processing strategies is not meaningful path and other direct and indirect paths are meaningful. Also with view to the correlation co-ef ficients observed among variables and improvement the goodness of fit of the indices, the LISREL8.51 program suggest adding the paths of mastery structure to self regulation, self regulation to deep processing strategies, and self regulation to surface processing structure and also removing the paths of mastery goals from the deep processing strategies. So, after removing the problematic paths and adding the suggested ones, the fit of the corrected model was examined. Most of fit indices obtalned support the complete agreement of the revised model with data.
