Background and Objective: Different
personality aspects including identity styles, self-efficacy, and cognitive
abilities can play a certain role in successful learning result in high
educational success. We assessed the value of identity styles, self-efficacy
and metacognition beliefs for predicting the level of educational success in
female high-school students.
Methods: In a
cross-sectional study, 380 consecutive female high school students were
selected using stratified multi-stage random sampling method.
Results: There
were significant associations of educational success rate with informative
identity style (r= 0.219, p< 0.001) and with commitment (0.205, p<
0.001). Direct association was revealed between level of self-efficacy and
students' education success (r= 0.274, p< 0.001). Regarding relation between
different subscales of metacognition and success in education, only subscale of
cognitive self-consciousness was directly associated with education success (r=
0.194, p< 0.001).
Conclusion: High
levels of informative identity style, commitment, self-efficacy, and cognitive
self-consciousness can predict high educational success in students.
