The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between superficial learning strategies with the unproductive (static) component of perceptions of learning and between deep learning strategies with the component of constructing perceptions of learning. there is a positive and significant correlation between superficial learning approaches and the components of scientific epistemological beliefs and certainty and a significant negative correlation with the components of justification and progress; and there is a positive and significant relationship between deep learning approaches with the components of justification and development of scientific epistemological beliefs and a negative and significant relationship with the components of certainty and certainty of epistemological beliefs.In addition, a negative and significant relationship was observed between superficial learning approaches and all components of learning self-efficacy and a positive and significant relationship was observed between deep learning approaches and all components of learning self-efficacy,the results of the present study indicate the importance and role of motivational and cognitive variables in strengthening and improving the use of learning approaches, which in the process of motivation and scientific learning reveals useful implications for students.
