      abstract = {This study examined the relationship between self-concept and academic achievement of students in basic science in secondary school in Oyo State. The study utilized a Descriptive correlation survey design using the survey method. Two instruments which comprised a questionnaire and the Broad Sheet of Academic Performance (BSAP) in the 2022/2023 session, were used to gather information on the topic. The sample consisted of 200 Basic science students? in upper basic schools in Oyo. Data were analyzed using Pearson's Product Moment Correlation to test the relationship between the variables and t-test was used to test the differences in the variables. The findings of the study showed that, a significant relationship exists between students? self-concept and their academic achievement with a correlation index of 0.60 and p-value of 0.00. The study also established that there is no significant difference between male and female students? academic self-concept and academic achievement. However, the study concluded that a positive students? self-concept will significantly contribute to improving their achievement in basic Science. Consequently, it was recommended among others that: Teachers, governments, and curriculum developers should organize progorammes to educate students on the need to develop self-concept as it is considered to be a protective factor that promotes academic achievement.},
