Data were analyzed through Pierson correlation coefficient, simultaneous multiple regression analysis, and path analysis by applying SPSS21 and LISREL 8.80 software. For path analysis of motivational strategies, learning strategies, and academic achievement, the hypothetical model of these components was designed and the components of the final model of motivational strategies, learning strategies, and academic achievement were depicted applying multiple regression analysis. It was found out that there is a significant relationship between motivational strategies and learning strategies with academic achievement of students at 99% significance level. Regression analysis outcomes revealed that the contribution of elaboration, critical thinking, self-regulation, task value, and control of learning belief in predicting academic achievement is significant. However, the share of other variables in predicting students’ academic achievement was insignificant. Path analysis revealed that elaboration, critical thinking, task value, and control of learning belief indirectly effects on students’ academic achievement through self-regulation but self-regulation has a direct impact upon academic achievement.
