dc.description.abstract The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between active learning, student commitment and academic performance among secondary school students in Kawempe Division. The study adopted a correlation research design. A sample of 50 students(23 males and 27 females)were selected for the study. A simple random sampling technique was used to choose respondents.Data was collected using self-administered questionnaires which were analyzed using statistical package for social science (SPSS). Results showed a negative significant relationship between active learning and student commitment(r=–.428**, p=002);there was no significant relationship between student commitment and academic performance as well as no significant relationship between active learning and academic performance. It was therefore recommended that administrators should facilitate independent, critical and creative thinking in students.They should encourage effective collaboration, active participation and discussions amongst students which are components of active learning en_US
