Abstract

The aim of study was to investigate the relationship between individual and school factors with academic performance with the mediating role of academic engagement and academic resilience. From the population of Iraqi high school students, a sample of 300 students was randomly selected in 2021-2021. The data were collected using standard tools and analyzed by structural equation method in Amos. The results of the research indicated the compatibility of the theoretical model with the data fit. Also, the results showed that the individual factors had a significant direct effect on academic progress, academic engagement and academic resilience, in addition, the school factor had an effective role on academic resilience, academic engagement and academic performance of students, but the mediating effect of resilience and enthusiasm on academic performance was not significant. It is suggested to pay attention to individual and school factors to improve students' academic performance.
