Educators are making efforts to find the factors affecting students’ academic performance and help enhance their grades. This paper explored the effects of the self-regulation of time management and independent learning on junior students’ academic record, found out the structure chart of their theoretical relation, and provided effective thoughts and methods for vast educators. The questionnaire survey was adopted in this research, and there were 448 junior students accepting the survey. The measuring tools were The Chart of Junior Students’ Selfregulation of Time Management and The Chart of Selfadjustment Study. And the total number of questionnaire was 448. The recycled data were performed by t-test, F-test, correlation analysis, regression analysis and intermediary test analysis. The results were:(1)There was a significant positive correlation among self-regulation of time management, independent learning and academic performance;(2)Selfregulation of time management has a positive prediction effect on independent learning and academic performance;(3)Independent learning has the total mediating effect between self-regulation of time management and academic performance.
