Abstract EN

This study aims to explore the Causal Modeling of the relationship among the Implicit Theories of intelligence, Motivational Beliefs, and Cognitive Engagement for the students of Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (IAU).

Based on research findings, the study constructed a proposed causal relationship model using path analysis for interpreting Cognitive Engagement.

The Cognitive Engagement Scale by (Fredricks et al., 2005), the Implicit Theories of Intelligence Scale of Dweck (1999) used by (Castella & Byrne, 2015), and the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) were all employed in this study.

The sample (n=310) was chosen on availability basis.

Results showed no statistically significant differences between the proposed and the optimal causal relationship models due to high matches on : IFI =0.90, CFI=0.90, RMSEA=0.07, x²=1.5 .Thus, the model construed explains the relationships proposed and represented in the optimal causal relationship model for the variables of the study..
