Correlation, regression, and path analyses indicated that motivation, learning strategy, and IQwere not only correlated with academic achievement, but there also was a causal relationship amongthem. The study demonstrated that self-efficacy, intrinsic motivation, master goal, learning strategy, andIQ were positively correlated with achievement. Extrinsic motivation, performance goal were negativelycorrelated with achievement. Moreover, IQ(β= 0.476), learning strategy (β= 0.220),self-efficacy(β =0.207), and master goal (β= 0.185) influenced academic achievement directly, intrinsic motivationinfluenced academic achievement indirectly by raising the level of the use of learning strategy.
