Abstract. Globally good academic performance has been equated with a fair hope for the future. For many stakeholders’ good performance in academics means work well done. In Kenya, performance in national examinations has been characterized by dismal performance in Physics. Self-Regulated Learning theory by Pintrich guided this study. The study was done at Tana-River County, Kenya. A sample of 333 students sampled using Quota sampling from girl schools, boy schools, boarding and day school categories were involved. Schools offering physics in Tana-River County were purposively sampled. Two instruments were used in this research, a Questionnaire and a pro forma summary of students. Learning strategies had significant positive association with students’ performance in Physics (r=.268, p=.00). From regression analysis Learning strategies explain 10.2% of academic performance in physics. It was also established that learning strategies predicted academic performance in physics significantly. The study concluded that performance in physics can be influenced by learning strategies. The study recommends that schools, physics teachers and science department enhance the learning approaches to physics subject by considering learning strategies used by students.
