Abstract Objective To study the relationship between children's academic achievement and their own control belief in higher grades in primary school, and provide reference for taking targeted measures to promote children's academic achievement. Methods The children in higher grades in primary school were investigated by multidimentional measure of children's perceptions of control (MMCPC), and the relationship between control belief and academic achievement was analyzed. Results There were significant differences between the dimensions and sources of children's control belief(P<0.05). Internal control in children's control belief significantly affected all aspects of children, among which cognition was the most important aspect of academic achievement. The internal control of the cognitive dimension was positively correlated with academic achievement. The influential others, unknown sources, and physical dimension were negatively correlated with academic achievement. Conclusion Improving the attribution of children's internal control in higher grades in primary school is helpful to improve their academic achievement, especially the attribution of internal control in cognitive dimension. The decrease of control belief having powerful others, unknown source attribution, and physical dimension having powerful others attribution helps to improve academic performance.
