A five-point likert scale was used for data collection. Results depicted significant difference among the different self-determination motivation level on learning achievement in science subjects. Facts also highlighted significant difference with values (f=15.772, Sig. =0.000) among students having different self-determination motivation level on learning achievement of students. According to given values the difference among students is significant with different Self-Determination level on learning achievement of students.
