Academic self-concept is students' perceptions or thoughts about their abilities in the academic field which are formed through experiences with the environment. Learning independence is an act of controlling the learning process where students take their own initiative in planning, implementing and evaluating their learning experiences taken from various learning sources. This research aims to determine the relationship between academic self-concept and student learning independence. This research uses quantitative correlational methods. The population in this study was all 285 class IX students at MTS Darul Ulum Sidoarjo. Sampling in this study used the proportional random sampling method and was taken according to the Slovin formula with an error tolerance of 5% and was collected from 166 students.
