Abstract:  The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of academic motivation and self-regulated learning in Nyeri County, Kenya. The study was guided by Self-Determination Theory (SDT) (Deci and Ryan,1985). The study adopted an ex-post research design. Purposive sampling, simple random sampling, proportionate sampling and stratified sampling were used to select a sample of 200 form three students (131boys and 69 girls) from 4 public secondary school in Nyeri Central Sub-County, Nyeri County Kenya. Piloting of the questionnaire was done in one public school. Data on academic motivation was collected using Academic Motivation Scale (AMS)- high school version by Vallerand et al. (1992) and data on self-regulated learning was collected using Motivation Strategy for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) (Pentrinch & De Groot, 1990). Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and Multiple Regression Analysis were used to test the stated null hypothesis set at ժ=0.05. Analysis of collected data was done using SPSS version 20.0 for windows while descriptive statistics such as percentage, means and frequencies were used to summarize the data. The results revealed that there was a significant relationship between academic motivation and self-regulated learning strategies (r (196) =.77, ρ<.01). Four out of the seven domains of academic motivation had a significant predictive on self- regulated learning.  Intrinsic motivation towards accomplishment towards had the positive highest predictive weight (β=.56, ρ<.05), followed by intrinsic motivation to know (β=.09, ρ<.05). negative significant prediction was found in extrinsic motivation external regulation and amotivation (β=. -13, ρ<.05 and amotivation (β=. -14, ρ<.05). The recommendations of this study included educators and school administrators to devise intervention measures to help students develop high levels of intrinsic motivation. Keywords: academic motivation, Self-Determination Theory (SDT), intrinsic motivation.
