Self-regulation and motivation are important concepts on students’ regulation of their own learning process. This study was conducted to determine the predictive power of eighth grade students’ mathematical self-regulation strategies and motivations on their math success. The scale that was developed by Pintrich, Smith, Garcia McKeachie (1991) and translated into Turkish by Büyüköztürk, Akgün, Özkahveci Demirel (2004) was applied to collect the data.
