Abstract :
This research aims to study the role of self-regulated learning strategies and attribution
styles on the studentsʹ academic performance in Zahedan high school. The study
population consisted of all boys and girls high school students in Zahedan in 92-91 school
year. For data collection, Peterson and Seligman attribution styles questionnaire was used.
And to analyze the data, both descriptive and inferential statistics, T-test were used to test
the research hypotheses. T-test results showed that studentsʹ self-regulated learning
strategies and attribution styles means in Zahedan are above the average. These high
means are in the cognitive, metacognitive, internal and external components. Pearson
correlation test results showed that there is a significant positive correlation between selfregulated learning strategies and its components and styles attribution and its
components, with academic performance. The test results showed that the internal and
cognitive components have the most prediction about academic performance. Independent
t-test results showed that there is no significant difference between self-regulated learning
strategies and attribution styles in boys and girls students. This indicates that girls and
boys use these variables alike. One-way ANOVA test results also showed that there is no
significant difference between self-regulated learning strategies and styles attribution of
students in first, second, third, fourth grades.
