ABSTRACT
This research was based on the academic performance phenomenon of the student during the learning process that was based on their Grade Point Average (GPA). In this regard, it was affected by the capability of students to control the factors which influence the learning process, called Academic Self-Management. A successful student is regarded as the one who is able to control the factors which influence their learning process. This research was conducted to verify the role of academic self-management in improving students’ academic achievement. The quantitative methodology with a simple random sampling technique was employed. The total samples were 105 students of Padjadjaran University. The results showed that 78% of the subjects possessed high academic self-management, meaning that the majority of subjects used academic self-management to control factors which influence the learning process. The strategy category mostly used was Motivational Strategies; meanwhile the Learning and Study Strategies was rarely used. Additionally, the Taking Exam dimension was mostly used, but Learning From Textbook was rarely used. The final model of academic self-management can be used in order to empower students to improve their academic achievement, so that they have capital to move forward and build their future.
