Abstract
Academic achievement is affected by external and internal factors. This study generally aims to examine the influence of family characteristics (per capita income and parental education), individual characteristics (age and gender), cognitive intelligence, and self-regulated learning toward academic achievement in adolescents. A total of 91 samples (Mage=13.9 years) with the largest percentage of the respondents were women were selected from two different junior high schools in Bogor area. Cognitive intelligence, self-regulated learning, and academic achievement were measured using Riley Inventory Basic of Learning Skills (RIBLS), Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSQL), and student academic record, respectively. The partial regression analysis showed there was a negative effect of mother’s education on self-regulated learning. Gender was found to positively predicted cognitive intelligence. The regression analysis also showed that parental education and cognitive intelligence positively predicted adolescent academic achievement. Per capita income, gender, and self-regulated learning showed no significant effects on academic achievement.

Summary
Good learning outcomes are the main goal of a learning process in schools as measured by the academic achievements of students in various fields. Empirical facts show that the learning achievements of students in Indonesia are still far from satisfying. This can be seen from the results of the 2018 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) research - involving 78 countries - announced by The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, 2018). The results show a low mathematical ability of adolescent students in Indonesia (ranked 72 with a score of 379, while the average score of OECD countries is 489). The fact that the learning outcomes of adolescent students are still low indicates that it is important to conduct a study of the factors that affect adolescent academic achievement
