Abstrakt: Academic self-concept (ASC) is characterized as one's academic self-views or perceptions of one's overall aptitude in school in a broad sense. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of educational level and gender differences on the academic self-concept of students. The academic self-concept was adopted through the academic scale of Liu & Wang (2005). It consists of two sub-scales: academic confidence and academic effort. There were randomly selected 200 Filipino students which consisted of 100 high school students and 100 college students. Two sample t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were utilized for the collected data. The results showed that high school students perceive a higher level of academic confidence than college students. On the contrary, it also revealed that college students perceive a higher level of academic effort than high school students. The results also indicate that female students perceive a higher level of academic effort than male students. Surprisingly, the data also revealed that there is a significant difference in the perceived academic effort of students based on age. It is also recommended that there can be seminars, counseling, and programs be conducted that would enhance students' academic self-concept. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
