| Abstract | The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between the university students’ learning styles and problem-solving strategies, and their achievement motivation in Azad University of Ahvaz. The population included 374 students-168 females and 206 males- in B.A. Selected through stratified random sampling. The research design was correlational, and the research data were collected through Kolb’s Learning Styles Instrument (LSI) (1985), Cassidy and Long’s (1996) Problem Solving Strategies Questionnaire, and Achievement Motivation Test (AMT) (1970). The collected data were analyzed through Pearson’s correlational coefficient and multivariate Regression in the level of α=0.01. The results showed that, in among the learning styles (objective experience, active experimentation, abstract conceptualization, view reflection) and achievement motivation, just there was a relationship between active experimentation and achievement motivation. Also, there was a relationship between problemsolving strategies (helplessness, controlling, creativity, trust, avoidance, the approach) and achievement motivation, except controlling and achievement motivation. Moreover, the findings revealed that the problem solving strategies such as approach, avoidance, trust and helplessness were the best predictors of achievement motivation. |
