“…The result shows that motivation (intrinsic goal orientation, extrinsic goal orientation, task value, control of learning beliefs) and learning strategies (elaboration, organization, meta-cognitive self-regulation, time and study environment management, effort regulation, peer learning, critical thinking, and help-seeking) jointly predicts postgraduate students' academic achievement significantly. This finding aligns with previous research (Ahmed et al, 2016;Crede & Philip 2012;Dalgıç et al, 2024;Demir & Demir, 2014;Demir et al, 2023;Lynch 2010;Mirzaei-Alavijeh et al, 2019;Muwonge et al, 2019;Nabizadeh et al, 2019;Neroni et al, 2019;Pokay & Blumenfeld, 1990;Obrent 2012;Schneider & Preckel 2017;Ulstad et al, 2016;Wild & Neef,2023;Yusof et al, 2021) which showed that motivation and learning strategies significantly relates and predicts academic achievement. This is also somewhat at variance with the study of Creede & Philip (2011), where their results showed that strong relationships were found between individual grades (academic achievements) and effort regulation, time and study environment management, and metacognitive self-regulation while the remaining learning strategies proved to be unrelated to academic performance.…”
