The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between learning methods and academic achievement in academic year 2016-2017. This is a causal-comparative research. The population of the study consisted of 298 elementary school students in the Ahl City. Using Cochran's formula and multi-stage random sampling method, 120 subjects were selected. The data gathering tool was a standard questionnaire for learning strategies based on the cognitive theory of learning by Wayne Steiner and Meyer (1986). Validity of the questionnaire was evaluated and confirmed based on the experts' point of view. Cronbach's alpha was used to calculate the reliability. The reliability of the questionnaire was 0.78 which indicates the desirable reliability of the research questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out at inferential level (multiple regression, independent group T test and audit analysis). The results of this study showed that there is a significant relationship between learning strategies and achievement of students in the areas of learning strategies, the elaboration strategy is highly correlated with effective development. Also, the results of T-test analysis on elaboration and monitoring strategies are significant between the two successful and unsuccessful groups. In other words, two strategies for expanding and monitoring comprehension are effective in academic achievement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
