Abstract :
The purpose of the present study is to offer a structural modeling of educational identity based on learning styles with the mediating role of ties with school and goal orientation in primary school students of Rahimabad. In terms of purpose, this study is applied, and in terms of method, it is descriptive-correlational. The population consisted of primary school students of Rahimabad totaling to 2876. Using random cluster sampling, 211 of them were recruited. Data collection instruments were goal orientation questionnaire (Elliot & McGregor, 2001), educational identity (Vaz & Isakson, 2008)T learning styles (Pintrich & Degroot, 1990) and school Bonding (Rezaei Sharif & Hajloo, 2016). Confirmatory factor analysis was used for securing construct validity of the instruments. To analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized. Also, structural equation modeling with Lisrel was employed to examine the hypotheses. The results demonstrated that there is a significant and positive association between learning styles and school bonding; and goal orientation and educational identity. Additionally, school bonding and goal orientation were positively correlated with educational identity of students. The findings suggest that school bonding and goal orientation mediated the relationship between learning styles and educational identity.
