With Engineering Science and Education Program as its curriculum, the school is a lot different from ordinary public schools. The school offers
subjects more than what is offered in ordinary public schools. It also has its own grading system that readily distinguishes students that are good in
science, math, TLE and language.

The third year curriculum offers the following subjects: Filipino III (Noli Me Tangere), English III (American Literature), TLE III (Civil Technology),
Math III (Advanced Algebra, Advanced Statistics, and Pre–Calculus), Science III (Chemistry, Physics, and Zoology), MAPEH III, Values Education
III, Social Studies (World History), and Computer Literacy (Web Design). With its thirteen (13) subjects, third year students has to do a lot works and
therefore must develop and improve study skills that will enable them to pass all the subjects.
In this study, junior SRSTHS students are the respondents. They were selected as the respondents because they are the batch that has gone through
different political issues having past students, parents and teachers to question their qualification and quality and the admission where they went
through because comparing with the last batches of third year students they are the first batch who got a very low average on the annual National
Achievement test administered last March 2011 on their

impart knowledge and information to the following: STUDENTS for they may possibly get a better perspective of themselves, improve their academic
performance in the class and enhance their study habit skills. TEACHERS to whom responsibility to motivate and encourage students to have a good
learning and understanding. This will serve them as basis for more intensive educations. Thus, increasing academic results. SCHOOL

According to Nonis & Hudson (2010), Study Habits can have either positive or negative effects with academic performance because of its direct
relationship with it. There is a positive effect of study habits if one's General Percentage Average (GPA) were good or high on the other hand, if their
grades are below average there is a negative impact on it. Positive or negative effect is based on grades because it represents the academic performance
of each student. Every student wants to aim for a high grades, and in order to achieve it students should know how to be effective. According to the

Chapter 1
Introduction
As the year level of students in school becomes higher, their study habits differ from time to time. The kind of study habits they have shows the
differences or improvements in how they become skilled and earnest about learning new things. Studying does not only include the preparation of
students to excel in class but also the reinforcements of the lessons already taught. It is merely reviewing and committing to mind new information.
Furthermore, study habits can be derived as buying out a dedicated scheduled and un–interrupted time to apply one's self to the task of learning. Without
it, one does not grow and become self–limiting in life. Truly, it plays a very important role on their academic performances....show more content...

Factors Influencing Study Habits
Factors Influencing Study Habits
There are many factors which affect study habits such as emotional, environmental, biological, social and psychological.
пЃџпЂ Emotional factors: Motivation, responsibility, and persistence are those emotional factors which may influence study. Bad study habits can be
transformed into productive habits through identification and modification.
After knowing the current levels of these emotional factors, one can work to reshape it positively and can not only improve studying potential but
change the outlook towards challenging courses.
пЃџпЂ Environmental factors: Sound, temperature, lighting, and physical arrangement are those environmental factors which can have a significant
impact on the ability to study. Creating Ideal Study Environment is...show more content...
Next is the auditory channel, in which students study best by listening in class, discussing information in groups, and reciting study notes. Tactile
students study best using manipulating objects or flash cards, working problems or re–typing notes. Kinaesthetic students study best demonstrating
movement in their work, exercising while reading, or walking while reciting their notes. Olfactory students involve their nose to distinguish specific
elements. And finally, gustatory students study best by tasting the item under investigation. These latter two factors account for only a minor part of
overall learning. Study is a complex operation, and educators tend to regard study habits and attitudes as important variables in helping to determine
academic success or failure. Efficient learning depends upon the development of efficient study habits and skills (Jammuar K.K., 1973). It means study
habits are related to scholastic achievement. According to Thomson, M. E. (1976) for better academic achievement good study habits are essential. A
number of studies have shown that those with better study habit score, do well in

Habits are Powerful.
I have many different habits. Some good although some are not so good. A few habits are my schoolwork habits, relating to friends, deciding on
what to wear, what to eat, what music I listen to, and a few that's personal. All of these, good and bad. These habits of mine all impact my life one
way or another. My habits are powerful, and have helped shaped my life into the way that it is today. Some habits are very powerful to where they
can take over your life completely. Fortunately for me, that's not my case. First off my schoolwork habits. My schoolwork habits are kind of good.
So far they've been pretty good, and working very well for me, because I'm a freshman in college. However as of now they have to change. The things
I've done in my previous years for my schoolwork just won't get me by anymore. College is a whole new ball game. I have never had or developed a
study habit or good study habit like other kids. I always felt I was too good to study or I never tried to fit studying into my time of day. I was never that
kid to go home and study for 2 hours straight. I couldn't understand how people read over school notes for 2 hours straight at home. I've felt school
work should be done at school. I only studied if I was forced by my mom, when I was younger of course. Otherwise if I knew I had a test or quiz
coming up the day before I would study some. I would

The Importance Of Study Habits
I have several different study habits, some good and some bad. One study habit I have noticed is listening to music while I study. Second, I usually
repeat definitions and notes that I find to be important in order to memorize them. My third study habit is multitasking while studying for a test or
listening to a lecture. Some of these habits could use some improvement or just completely not done and others are just fine the way they are. I will
be discussing some of the ways that I can improve my study habits and learn which ones I should not be doing. My first study habit is listening to music
while I work or study for tests. I usually only do this when there are too many distractions going on in the room. I usually listen to softer types of
music and listen to it at a low volume or else I'll get distracted and want to sing along with the song. This is a good study habit to have because
listening to music while studying can improve memory and concentration. Other benefits listening to music provides are happiness and stress relief.
It speeds up your breathing, heart rate, and it can really wake you up if you are feeling sluggish. To reap the benefits of stress relief you must choose
music that feels calming to you. A common misconception is that classical music is the only type of music that will help you study but that has been
proven wrong. Basically, any type of music can help you study. It just depends on what you are trying to get out of studying, whether that is

Unhealthy Study Habits Essay
Chapter 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE & STUDIES According to Palm Beach Community College (PBBC, 2008), they recommend
that student's study should have at least three hours out of class for every hour spent in class. They also said that a student must have a special place to
study with plenty of room to work. And students should not be cramped. They presupposes that study time will go better if a learner take a few minutes
at the start to straighten things up. A desk and straight–backed chair is usually best. " Don't get too comfortable––a bed is a place to sleep, not to study"
as what they said. A student must have everything close at hand (book, pencils, paper, coffee, dictionary, computer, calculator, tape recorder, etc.)

It was hypothesized that the more caffeine a student consumes while studying, the more accurately his or her study habits would be labeled as
'unhealthy', as determined by the researchers. Unhealthy study habits were operationally defined as low scores on amount of time per study session,
time(in days) when preparation began, and amount of information the participants believed they had retained. High scores on anxiety level were
included in 'unhealthy' study habits. A Pearson correlation indicated no relationship between amount of caffeine consumed while studying and the
individual's effectiveness of studying and preparation. Marcus CredГ© and Nathan R. Kuncel (2008) in their research at the University of Albany said
that Study habit, skill, and attitude inventories and constructs were found to rival standardized tests and previous grades as predictors of academic
performance, yielding substantial incremental validity in predicting academic performance. The meta–analysis examined the construct validity and
predictive validity of 10 study skill

Study Habits Of Mind
My works meets curiosity of "Habits of Mind" from the CWPA "Framework" document". In both of my works, I demonstrated curiosity by
conducting research and discovering more about my surrounding and myself. In "Discourse Community", I conducted a research on programming
group and discovered that my computer design group is not simply a group but a community that work toward common goals with many aspects of a
discourse community described by Swales. In "Analysis of Study Habits", I researched my study habit and its correlation with grade and I discovered
different study habits and how they affect grade. This information allows me to change my study habit and get a better grade in my class. This meets
the curiosity requirement because

Conditioning is a term used to describe the process by which the neutral stimulus gains the power to elicit a specific conditioned response. This is
explained through the experiments done by Pavlov. He associated the presentation of food to the dog with another stimulus as sound of the bell. After
giving some trials in which bell preceded the presentation of food, the dog started salivating at the sound of the bell. The acquisition of a conditioned
responses gradual and becomes stronger with repeated trials. 2) Operant Conditioning: Operant conditioning is another approach to the study of
associative learning. The term coined by B.F. Skinner means that the likelihood of behaviour depends on the significance of the event immediately
following it to person showing the behaviour. if the
Event following the behavior is positively reinforcing or rewarding, than it will reoccur. If it is not reinforced or is punished then it is less likely to
recur and eventually stops completely a process known as 'extinction'.
It is a powerful method for teaching new behaviour patterns both to humans and animals. The basics of operant conditioning are reinforcement and
punishment. In children the most common form of positive reinforcement is social; children are likely to repeat behaviour which gives pleasure. i)

These will help them improve their study habits and performance. But this does not mean that the student should always be holding his/her book, it
is still recommended that there should be breaks between study hours to have time to rest their eyes and mind. According to Mark Crilly (2000),
Successful students are able to balance social activities with good study habits. A diversion from studies will alleviate stress and help prevent from
becoming fatigued. He said that a student should take a break for an hour after studies to meet with friends, play cards, and work out at the gym or to
gab with new acquaintances. "To develop a healthy social life, develop routine study habits. After supper, lug your books andhomework to the library,
find a comfortable and quiet niche and study for two or three hours, taking intermittent 10 minutes breaks every forty–five minutes or so." Making
friends with whom you share similar study habits and share a table or a study space with them would be a best way in developing study

habits.Undergraduate students should be fully equipped with high level of analytical skills, the capacity for critical reasoning, self–reflection and
conceptual grasp and ability to learn. Multi–media is a supplement to textbooks and workbooks. The uses of these materials help students in their
studies. The students should be encouraged to spend more time for their assignments and class projects and not to

Study Habits Can Improve Your Grades Essay
Why improving your study habits can improve your grades
Having bad study habits can really show up in your grades, but if you change your study habits your grades will improve. Many important things
factor in understanding about studying. The most important fact about studying: no two people think alike; therefore, no two people study the same.
What works for you may not work for your friend, and vice versa. I know I have no class that I enjoy so much that I cannot wait to get home so that
I can study it, on that note we can only wish. As people we are all different for some students studying and being motivated to learn comes naturally
but for me not so much. Success in high school and college really depend on good study habits....show more content...
That could benefit or hurt your study habits and note taking. Also bad study habits could result in not knowing how to study. Studying is not just
reading out loud it's about comprehending what you read. Ask yourself questions, write about what you read, or tell someone what you read. Doing so
can improve your memory of what you read up to 85% instead of just 15%. You can also survey what you are about to read. Surveying is essentially
understands what you are reading. Basically you can study something you don't understand. Question what you have just read, ask yourself questions
about what you are reading or studying. Always pay attention to things in bold or italicized print. Recite what you have just read, this makes it stick
better. Try to remember the headings and important ideas, try to say what you have just read in your own words this way you understand it better,
therefore you remember it without actually trying. When you study, reading out loud does not help you study, and if you move your lips while
reading you are not reading efficiently. Not knowing when to study affects you just as much as not knowing how to study. You don't necessarily have
to study the day you get your notes but that does not mean to wait till the day of the test to study either. Reading over your notes daily really helps
your memory. A very important note about studying is to only study when you are well rested, and have already planned for it. This is where a

CHAPTER I Problem and Its Setting Introduction Education plays a vital role in the development of a learner. The acquisition of new knowledge,
information and the way one responds to the learning environment makes him a holistic learner. It must be uncalculated in our minds that one of the
purposes of education is to train learners on how to formulate solutions to problems, how to grow independently, how to apply what they learned inside
the classroom in their real life situations, and how to understand things and make them useful to one's life. You cannot learn simply by being told what
to do or by watching others, you have to practice and practice frequently. Successful students employ time management systems to create study patterns

It will help the students provide basis for awareness and better understanding of how their current study habits affected their academic performance.
Likewise gives them a more focused and clear perspective on how the specific behaviours related to their studies influenced study habits. Consequently,
this awareness also gives a much deeper understanding of their selves as students considering that the college life is typically beset of developmental
adjustment demands. To the parents, To the school and teachers, it will help them to improve the quality education to be given in the Bachelor of
Elementary Education and they can determine different teaching strategies that can be used Bachelor of Elementary Education students. To the whole
community/country, people can see the good results of the study. It will increase the number of pupils who are highly knowledgeable and who will
become assets, and not liabilities, of our government and to contribute financially and economically to their own community as well as to their country.
In the end, to the future researchers it will inspire them to conduct more studies/ researches about the affect of study habits on the academic

Habits Of College Students Essay
Habits of Successful StudentsIt is often claimed that the most successful college students attain success becausethey are only smart and study hard. But
most of people ignore the fact that being asuccessful college student goes beyond intelligence and hard work. There are several usefulhabits which a
college student has to follow so that they can positively approach theireducation and be successful and achieve their academic goals and so have a
prosperous life.To begin with, College students should be "professional" in their educational context.They should consider college or university as a
place of "work" from which they get theirliving. In other words, they should be serious enough and avoid being absent for a reason ornot. In case of
emergency or outside–of–our–control factors, students are to professionallyinform their instructors preferably beforehand. Besides, in case of missing
a class, studentsshould copy the notes and do the assignments required before the upcoming class. Beingprofessional, also means to come to classes
early or at least on time. Moreover, for collegestudents to be able to come early for classes in particular morning classes, they have to takegood care
of themselves physically and emotionally as well. Regarding being physically good,students should avoid certain bad eating habits like eating
fast–food, junk food or eating toomuch food. They should also go on certain healthy balanced diets if the need be. Besides,they should practice sport.

Best Ways To Study Essay
Three Best Ways to Study For many students studying for an exam or a test can be very stressful. For a lot of them studying is very hard because
sometimes most of the materials they study, they don't remember on the actual test or exam. However there are more than one way to study and most
theses studying methods can be very helpful and very reliable. A Lot of students tend to cram all the studying two or the night before the test and
according to UCLA professor of psychiatry Andrew J. Fuligni (2012) cramming and trying to get as much information in your head two or a night
before the test is very counterproductive. How to study properly Although there are many ways and methods of studying whether it be scientific or a

A second method of studying is by studying in an appropriate setting (Chadron State College). Studying in an environment where distraction is very
easy to find is very difficult. Studying in a quiet setting with a lot of space away from distraction can help you study and can help memory
performance. With this setting it's also helpful to be consistent with the studying, studying at the same time and same place is very effective especially
when this is done 2 –3 weeks prior to the test quiz or exam. With the proper setting, proper setting is also necessary. " Your study desk or table should
be equipped with all the materials you might need to complete the assignment, e.g., pencils, pens, erasers, paper clips, stapler, dictionary, snacks, and
liquid refreshments, etc." – Chadron State College. Adding items that can help you study and removing things that might distract is also need for
effective studying. The third and final method of studying that is effective is studying while listening to music. According to Goodwin (2015),
studying with music before a test can improve attention and can help lessen depression and anxiety. The "Mozart effect" is known to be helpful but of
course today the effects will be very different since students don't tend to listen to Mozart. The type of music played also plays a pig role of studying.
Studying with music that has lyrics is not recommended

Bad Study Habits Of College Students Essay
"Most students enter college with positive expectations and with intentions to graduate; however, many of them face obstacles and challenges during
their adjustment period and leave college before completing their degrees." (Boyraz, Granda, Baker, Tidwell, & Waits, 2016) According Pardon Our
Interruption (2011) statistics show that 30% of college students drop out after their Freshmen year. This is due to reasons such as not being able to
successfully cope with the transition, lack of financial support from parents, not being able to balance working and school, and life demands. But for
the students that decide to continue with their education, they forced to worth though many academic struggles in order to reach their ultimate goal.
Study Habits
The most common academic challenges are understanding the content of the course, effective study times, lack of motivation for the course or school,
and poor basic skill such as reading, math, and writing. Bad study habits that many student display are cramming for a test, multi–tasking, studying in a
nonproductive environment, and skimming through the textbook or notes. By cramming weeks worth of information into the brain it can cause
misunderstanding of facts, loss of sleep, anxiety, and inability to transfer information from short term memory to long term term information and
ultimately this can lead to long term mental, physical, and emotional impairments. Although some students may still receive a good grade from
cramming

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter presents a review of significant related literature and studies, which have bearings to the present study.
Study Habits, its Definition and Significance Study skills are discrete techniques that can be learned, and applied to all specific or particular fields of
study like music technology and many others fields of study. Jackson (2009) stated that studying is a skill which is develops in the early part of their
schooling, study skills must be learned because it takes effort to develop their habit of studying, thus it requires effective planning and putting them
into practice. There is a need to understand what students are studying, thus it requires effective planning and putting them into practice. There is a
need to understand what students are studying to develop the ability to memorize information. If these things can be done in routine, mastery of skills
will become successful one. Kizlik , (1997) stated that no two individuals study in the same way, and there is a little doubt, that what works for one
person may not work for another. However there are some general techniques that seem to produce sound result. No one
