Abstract: يعاني طالب الجامعة في بعض الاحيان من عجز في تحقيق التوازن بين دوافعه الملحة وضغوط الحياة والتي بدورها تؤثر على صحته النفسية. فطالب الجامعة يمر بمرحلة الشباب ومايتخلل هذه المرحلة من مشكلات وصراعات ناجمة عن سوء توافق دراسي ومن جملة هذه المشكلات الرسوب الدر | A university student sometimes suffers from a deficit in achieving the balance between the pressing motives and,Lite stresses which in turn, affect his mental. Therefore, a university student, undergoing the problems and conflicts which permeate this stage, often suffers from poor academic adjastment. Among these problems is the problem of repeated academic failure. When the student repeats the academic year, he/she is seen as marginalized. This marginalization undercuts the feasibility of the student's efforts and the benefits of supportive measures whether made by family, social group, or educational staff. This cyclical marginalization further reinforces the student's negative perceptions and ideas about himself/herself. Then the student's response to future opportunities and challenges is colored by his/her feelings of being marginalized and, thus, the student does not achieve his or her true potential, the desired results. Thus, this entire process is one of learned helplessness on a declamatory, cognitive, and behavioral level. And this problem is related to another problem which is the Epistemology beliefs among university students which is represented by the system of implicit assumptions which students carry about the nature of knowledge and its acquisition. The study problem is manifested in the answers to the following questions : • Do university students suffer from learned helplessness?• Do the variables of gender, stage, or specialization affect learned helplessness among university students?• What is the level of Epistemology beliefs among the university students?• Do the variables of gender, stage and the specialization have an effect on the Epistemology beliefs among the university students?• Is there a relationship between learned helplessness and cognitive beliefs among the university?The research aims at the following : 1. Measuring the level of learned helplessness among university students.2. Identifying any significant differences of learned helplessness among university students according to the variables( 1) gender; (2) specialization;( c) academic status (success versus failure).3. Measuring the level of the Epistemology beliefs among university students4. Identifying the differences of Epistemology beliefs among university students according to the variables : (a) gender; b : specialization; ( c) academic status (success v. failure).5. Recognizing the relationship between Epistemology beliefs and learned helplessness among university students? To achieve the goals of the research, a scale to measure learned helplessness has been prepared depending on Seligman's theory. The scale consists of 49 items to measure learned helplessness. Additionally, Skomer's scale of Epistemology beliefs was also modified to suite the study sample (university students). The psychometric properties of the scale were extracted by adopting a method of comparing terminals and the reliability of internal consistency, and the stability of the scales was extracted by Cronbach's alpha formula. This scale is applied to a sample of university students (repeaters - and successful) numbering 723 male and female students for the academic year 2015/2016 by using of the variance triple analysis and Pearson correlation coefficient.The most significant results are : 1. Failed (marginalized) students have a level of learned helplessness. 2. There is difference between the Epistemology beliefs of the successful students and the failed (marginalized) students.3. There is a negative correlation relationship between learned helplessness and Epistemology beliefs (learning speed) of the successful students.4. There is a positive correlation relationship between the learned helplessness and Epistemology beliefs. In light of these results, the researcher made some recommendations and proposals : 1. Through programs of the center of teaching methods, the lecturers are enlightened by the most effective ways to deal with the students to raise their motivation to attain and achieve success; especially, focus on students whose academic status is low.2. Holding training courses for the teachers through the programs of teaching methods at university to develop their Learning strategies and how they can develop the Epistemology beliefs of the students
