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.
