Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of the research is to investigate the factor structure of academic success questionnaire (Salehi, 2014) by confirmatory factor analysis approach. Method: The research method is descriptive. The study population of the research includes all the high school students in Isfahan 2014-15 academic year, that were about 158304 students. The research sample includes 400 male and female students in the academic, who were selected by multi-staged cluster sampling. In order to investigate the factor structure, AMOS 20 software was used. Findings: The results from confirmatory factor analysis show that the four factors of average, students’ views, parents and teachers in defining objective academic success are significant and the three subscales of academic satisfaction, a sense of academic success and academic conservation in defining subjective academic success are significant. Finally, the presented model shows that two hidden items of objective academic success and subjective academic success in defining academic success are significant and powerful. Conclusion: Regarding the findings of the research, it is an error to consider only one criterion, namely the average, to evaluate the progress and academic success of students and it is recommended to use the academic success questionnaire (Salehi, 2014) to evaluate the level of academic success of students at schools.
