Abstract
Introduction: One of the normal personality characteristics is having self-esteem and its behavioral consequences which are attributable to external or internal causes, and are effective on the academic achievement of students. The purpose of this study was to compare self- esteem, locus of control and their relation with educational status of university students at Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd.
Method: In this cross-sectional study, 300 students of different faculties were evaluated. We used a questionnaire that includes demographic data, Rotter's locus of control standard questionnaire and Cooper- Smith's self-steem standard questionnaire. The data were collected and analyzed by the SPSS-18 software.
Results: The average score of self-esteem was 31.84±8.32 (with a range of 0-50), and the mean score of locus of control was11.59±3.19 (with a range of 0-23). 15.4% of the subjects had internal locus of control and 74.9% had high level of self-esteem. There was no statistically significant relationship between self-esteem and locus of control (p=0.27). There was a statistically significant correlation between locus of control and average score (p=0.046), self-esteem and average score (p=0.02). In this study, age with locus of control, and average score with self-esteem have positive correlations and locus of control with self-esteem has a reverse correlations.
Conclusion : The majority of students that had a high level of self-esteem and an external locus of control has high average score and as the majority of the students who had a high level of self-esteem were studying in the School of Health.

Abstract
Introduction: The aim of the current study was the evaluation of the viewpoints of basic science students about the affecting factors on class attendance and its correlation with their academic performance, and investigating the motivation and attendance rate of the students in different basic sciences classes in Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 247 basic sciences students. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used for evaluation of reliability and internal consistency of the questionnaire, which showed a high level of internal consistency (0.83). Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient test, and regression analysis were used for statistical analysis of data.
Result: According to the students' viewpoints, class attendance had a positive effect on learning, and “teacher’s related factors” and “the students' attitude toward the course's subject” had the most important role in their attendance. Furthermore, there was a significant positive correlation between the students' grades and "learning of lesson's contents", and “taking higher scores" (r=0.273 and r=0.207, respectively). According to the student’s announcement, the most common classes, which they participate in, were physiology, anatomy, embryology, epidemiology and bacteriology.
Conclusion: The students with higher grades mostly attended in classes with the motivation of learning and taking higher grades, and they prioritize attending in specific classes. Due to the teachers' determinant role in students’ class attendance, the using of this information is suggested for the evaluation of teachers and the success rate of the educational system.
