Mathematic is one of the important lessons that can affect all areas of life. The purpose of present article was to make research in order to compiling a model for explaining and predicting mathematics achievement based on motivational attitudes. Method of research was prediction type of correlation. After preparing measuring tools and determine its validity and reliability, among the statistical society of second year governmental male high school students, of Tehran, a sample of 120 students using multi-stage cluster were selected and the students completed the questionnaires. Also Mathematics scores were used as basis for mathematics achievement. SPSS software employed for analyzing data. Then the proposed model was tested by LISREL software and regression equation computed and hypothesizes were tested. Results of first the hypothesis showed that individual, familial and scholastic factors could formulate the regression equation and showed that these three factors, determine 98 percent of the variance on the mathematical progress. For the second hypothesis test path analysis was used and results revealed that proposed model had not fit index and this hypothesis did not confirmed. Results of testing the third hypothesis showed that all three factors partially predict mathematical achievement (I.F=. /67, F.F=. /61 and S.F=. /49). The forth hypothesis testing revealed that with respect to F.F, A.F can predict more variance of mathematical achievement. Although familial factors have significant effect on mathematic achievements.

In sustainability vision, the most important capital of countries is human capitals. Therefore higher education as a promoter of human capital, and producer of knowledge, has a crucial responsibility in this regard and entitled a special place in achieving sustainable development. The purpose of this descriptive analytical study was to design a conceptual model for sustainable university. To achieve the purpose, the literature of sustainability in higher education, and the most popular activities, around the world, for integrating sustainability into all functions of universities were reviewed. Based on this review, the elementary model was designed. This model was revised by certain higher education experts. Eventually, the model of sustainable university was designed based on the principles of systems thinking, participatory planning, and sustainable development. Finally, the required changes in teaching learning process were explained to create a base for new academic culture. The formation of Sustainability Committee in universities to plan for integrating sustainability into education, research, and outreach is the most important part of the model. It is hoped that the designed model could help to develop higher education, on course of scientific power sustainability of the country.
