Abstract :

Abstract The purpose of this study was the prediction of components of academic engagement (Behavioral: Effort), (Affective: value of task), (Cognitive: cognition and metacognitive), based on components of classroom environmental perceptions (interest, challenge, choice, and joy). The population included girl high school students of Tehran.  The sample consisted of 400 girls who were chosen randomly. They completed two questionnaires, motivated strategies for learning (MSLQ), and students' perceptions of classroom activities (SPCA). For analyzing data the parametric method was used. The results showed that components of classroom environmental perceptions (interest, challenge, choice and joint) predicted (choice, interest and challenge).  Since the component of joy wasn´t significant, it was eliminated in education. (P≥0.01). Coefficient of multiple regressions was meaningful in the academic engagement and classroom environmental perceptions (P≥ 0/01).
