The method used in the<br />study was descriptive-correlational. The sample included 400 students who<br />were selected via random cluster sampling from among all girl students of<br />the third and fourth grade level students in Ardabil. To collect data on<br />burnout, the Academic Burnout Scale and the school self-concept<br />Questionnaire were administered. Students’ grade point averages were used<br />to measure academic performance. To analyze the data, Pearson's<br />correlation coefficient and multiple regression analyses were used. Pearson's<br />correlation coefficient showed a significant correlation between academic<br />self-concept and academic burnout and its subscales (Academic Exhaustion,<br />Academic Cynicism and Academic Inefficacy) and student performance<br />(p<0/001). Based on the results of multiple regression, academic apathy and<br />self-concept emerged as the strongest predictors of academic performance.<br />Thus by making students interested, for instance by designing attractive<br />materials and presenting them in an intriguing manner, and also by guiding<br />them to a field of their interest and by instilling in them a sense of being<br />worthy, their academic performance can be improved.
