Abstract

Introduction: In recent decades self-regulated learning has been regarded as an effective factor in successful academic performance. This study aimed at presenting a causal relationship model of Self-regulated learning and future orientation based on the mediating role of academic Self-Efficacy and Task Value through path analysis. Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, the data were collected through a combined questionnaire which was completed by 320Of Paramedical Students (178 woman& 142 Man). The samples were selected from among - people (statistical population) through a multi-stage sampling method (cluster, stratified and random) in 2018-19 academic year at Payame Noor University of Tehran, and they completed a questionnaire consisting of 4 standard sub-questionnaires. The data were analyzed by Path analysis using Amos24, Lisrel 8.8 and Spss22. Results: The results showed that the effect of three endogenous factors (academic Self-Efficacy, task value equal, future orientation)on the academic self-regulation in the students was significant. The values obtained from the comparative fit index, goodness of fit index, adjusted goodness of fit index, and root mean squared error of approximation were 0.98, 0.97, 0.96, and 0.052, respectively. Conclusion: Among the endogenous variables in students the maximum total effect on academic self-regulation is related to the academic self-efficacy and equal 0.22. The fit indices of the model showed that the proposed model in the study has a relatively good fit with the data gathered from virtual students.
