To do this, 473 (283 female and 190 male) students from basic sciences fields of Fars Payame Noor University were chosen through multistage cluster sampling. They then, answered to a questionnaire composed of 4 subscales. The math course score was also considered as the math achievement index. The results showed that achievement goals, mathematics self-efficacy, and cognitive engagement have a mediating role between dimensions of epistemological beliefs and math achievement.
