Abstract :

The aim of the present study was to determine academic motivation based on mindfulness and academic self-efficacy in girl students. In terms of the applied purpose and in terms of the data collection method, it is a descriptive correlational research. The statistical population of this study consisted of all first-year high school students in Tehran in the academic year 2024-2025, and the sample size of 140 students was calculated using the Tabachnig and Fidel formula (2008) and selected using the convenience sampling method. In this study, the Bauer et al. Mindfulness Questionnaire (2006), Morgan-Jinkens Academic Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (1999), and Wallerand Academic Motivation Questionnaire (1992) were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using correlation and regression tests. The results of the analysis of the findings showed that there is a significant correlation between mindfulness and academic self-efficacy with academic motivation (p < 0.01, r = 0.678), and according to F equal to 105.32 with a level of (p < 0.01), it has become significant.The beta of mindfulness (0.223) and the beta of academic self-efficacy (0.471) have been obtained, which is significant at the level of (p < 0.01), meaning that it is possible to predict and also consider effective the variable of academic motivation in girl students in the first secondary school based on mindfulness and academic self-efficacy as predictor (independent) variables.
