    Introduction

    The need for progress is one of the first motivations that has been studied in detail (McKland, Atkinson, Clarke, Lovell, 1953). Battle believes that academic motivation is a comprehensive tendency to evaluate one's own performance according to the highest standards, strive for success in performance, and enjoy the pleasure associated with success in performance. Students have different levels of academic motivation. For this reason, they behave in completely different ways in their lives. For example, people who are at a high level in terms of the need for development are more inclined to university education, getting higher grades and extracurricular activities compared to people who have a weaker need for development (Atkinson, 1980). (Bridges, 2001). Causal factors of behavior are called attributions, and based on this, the behavior of others is attributed to stable personal factors or characteristics (so-called non-situational factors) or to aspects of their social situation (Petri, 1996). Bandura defines self-efficacy as a person's judgment of his skills and abilities to perform tasks that are needed in special situations. It allows a person to have the necessary skills to perform a special task and to be sufficiently motivated to perform that task (Pajares, 1996).

    In this research, the relationship between achievement motivation, documentary styles, and academic self-efficacy with the academic motivation of secondary school students in Hajiabad city is examined. (external environment and seal), mood (organism's internal state and condition), goal (behavior goal, intention and tendency) and tool (tool to achieve the goal). Humans get the necessary motivation to achieve their goals, needs and instincts. Regarding students, academic motivation is of particular importance.

    In psychology, motivation refers to the beginning, direction, intensity and resistance of behavior (Guin, 1995). Motivation is a dynamic and temporary state that must be separated from personality or emotion. Motivation is the desire and interest to do something. A motivated person can have short-term or long-term goals. Personality is attributed to more durable traits and characteristics of people (such as modesty, extroversion, alertness, etc.); Also, unlike motivation, excitement is focused on transitory states (such as anger, sadness, happiness, etc.) that do not immediately lead to behavior (Hashmi, 2010).

    McClelland et al. From their point of view, the motivation for progress is raised when a person sets an exemplary standard in his activity and seeks success. Research shows that the greater the intensity of the motivation for progress, the more the individual's success will increase (quoted by Amir Afshari, 2010). In other words, academic achievement motivation is a general desire to do something well in a specific field and evaluate its performance spontaneously. Also, academic achievement motivation is considered as one of the basic prerequisites for learning. Development motivation has a great impact on people's performance. According to many psychologists and educators, such as Bloom and Weiner (1972), motivation is one of the basic factors of progress in the classroom, and most educators probably agree with Beugalski's opinion that motivation is the basic factor of academic progress (quoted by Amir Afshari, 2010). The motivation of academic progress affects the way of performing a lesson and showing the desire to learn (Harakiwiz, Baron, Carters, Leto and Eliot, 1997).

    Researches have investigated the factors related to academic motivation; However, this research seeks to answer the basic question of whether there is a relationship between motivation for progress, documentary styles, and academic self-efficacy with the academic motivation of male and female students in Hajiabad city? According to Armond (2003), motivation in education has effects on the way students learn subjects. These effects include: 1- Directing behavior towards specific goals, 2- Increasing effort and energy, 3- Increasing activity and persistence in doing it, 4- Strengthening cognitive processes, 5- Determining reinforcing consequences, and 6- Improving performance.

    Today, the lack of interest and motivation among secondary school students is one of the problems faced by those involved in educational issues in education. Perhaps it can be said that the drop in the level of science or education in schools and the slackness that currently threatens the quality and quantity of education in the society is one of the consequences of this problem (Amirafshari, 2010).

    Identifying the factors related to the academic motivation of students can put a suitable perspective in front of teachers and educational coaches, school managers and other educational planners and raise the quality of learning in educational centers.
