Abstract :
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between epistemological beliefs and attitude to help-seeking behaviors with academic achievement. The statistical population of this research consists of all female high school students of Tabriz city in the educational years 2008- 2009. For this 382 students were selected as statistical samples through the random multi-stage cluster sampling method. The Questionnaires of epistemological beliefs (schommer, 1990) and help-seeking behaviors (gadampour and sarmad, 2003) were completed by these students. In this research, cumulative point’s average was used as dependent variable and the multiple regression analysis and Pierson correlation was carried out to analyze data. The results showed that: (1) Academic achievement has a negative and significant correlation with simple/absolute knowledge and fast/fixed learning epistemological beliefs and Avoidance of help-seeking, but it has a positive and meaningful correlation with Adaptive help-seeking. (2) Adaptive help-seeking has a negative and significant correlation with simple/absolute knowledge epistemological belief and Avoidance of help-seeking, but it has a positive and meaningful correlation with simple/absolute knowledge. (3) Fast/fixed learning epistemological belief were the best predictor of student academic achievement, and simple/absolute knowledge and Adaptive help-seeking ranked thereafter.
