        abstract = {Learning is affected by a students’ ability to be disciplined, self-directed and resourceful and sustain effort on academic tasks (Snow 1989a, 1989b). Self-efficacy, value, interest and goal orientation are the motivational factors and offered to explain individual differences in these behaviours in terms of strength of goal commitment. Accordingly, the students are engaging their academic tasks on their high motivation and it required the effort and to persevere on relevant tasks. However, students’ experiences distractions to goal directed activity. In the goal striving process, there is plays an important role in volitional control. Volitional control plays an important role in learning process accordance with the theory of action control theory and that are protecting a purpose to learn from interferences threaten to task activity.  In schools, provide an appropriate backdrop for exploring some of the interrelationship between learning and performance. The volitional strategy used by the students under their different academic conditions and it essential for discovering helpful methods. In this way, the students are used for maintaining persistence and regulating effort for the attainment of their goals. This is believed in an important goal striving process and involves protecting learning intensions. There are five categories involved in volitional control strategy in Rubicon model (Corno & Kanfer, 1993) and much attention and support is given in the categories of Metacognitive, attention and environmental control and there is link between self-regulatory and students’ performance. Here, briefly explains the volitional control strategy for regulating motivation and emotion. It is proposed to influence goal outcome via unique effects on protecting and maintaining an intention to learn.},
