CHAPTER I
The Problem and Its Background
Introduction
Knowledge in the past was considered a body of information to be
transmitted to students and the job of the teacher was simple: to present this
information to the students in a better way. This view of knowledge has now
been profoundly changed. Students are no longer required to memorize a lot
of information. At this time, students must use their high intellectual to
understand a certain subject matter and use that knowledge that can be used
in real life. (University of Punjap, 2010)
Study habits is how one studies. That is, the habits which students form
during their school years. Without good study habits, a student cannot
succeed. Education is one of those fields, which are continuously facing
decline for the past many years. (University of Punjap, 2010)
However, students go to school not only to learn but also to do the
several tasks and responsibilities given to us to accomplish. To accomplish
these things, students need a habit –a study habits that will help us to take this
responsibility, help build skills that reinforce hard work, preparation and
practice and be the successful one. Good Study habits are important part of
PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA 2
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
any student’s success. Proper study habits can overcome the procrastination
when it comes to school. A proper study habits and skills involve to high
competency as well as a high quality of learning (Dehghani & Soltanalgharaei,
2014).
Study Habits is a method that we used or practices to achieve or
maintain our goals. Having a study habits help us to keep track in our studies
while having many things that is needed to be done. In high school we practice
our own study habits to maintain or improve our grades but it is different when
it comes to college so we still need to plan and start a new study habits as a
responsible students (Florida National University).
Study habits require committed scheduled to be focus on developing it
to have a better result. Study habits show the secret to attain the anticipate
victory of a student in studying. These all could be decided with the help of
one’s study habits, throughout the life. According to Issa et al. (2012)
recommend that the everyday reading activities will help to improve to develop
the study habits to have a succeeding academic performance. There is a
general sense in which one appreciates the link between good habits of
reading and the academic performance of students generally. According to Ch
(2006), a central feature of effective study habits is that good habits can
influence performance of students to do better in academic tasks.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
However, Students who have difficulty in high school frequently do not
have adequate study habits that affect their academic achievement. Lack of
awareness to learn time management and taking effective notes are the central
problem of it (cited by Mutsotso S.N. &Abenga E.S., 2010). According to
Nagaraju (2004) found that students do not dedicated in a sufficient time given
and had a proper study habits
Study habits play a vital role to students of any age such study habits
will determine student’s success in their educational career. According to
Fielden (2004) good study habits help the student in critical reflection in skills
outcomes such as selecting, analyzing, critiquing, and synthesizing. Nneji
(2002) added that study habits are learning tendencies that enable students
work independently.
On the contrary, there were also study that oppose statement above.
On the study of A.S Arul L (2014), showed no relationship between the two
variables. Their computed value, which is 0.113 was higher than their critical
value which is 0.090.
“Practice makes perfect; perfect practice makes perfect”, effective study
habits gradually acquired by learners will be their sole weapon and strong
assurance that they can successful through the obstacles of education, making
them equipped with knowledge, skills and ability to practice what they know
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 4
inside the classroom with accuracy, ease and confidence. The extent of
student’s learning in academics may be determined by the grades a student
earns for a period of learning has been done. It is believed that a grade is a
primary indicator of such learning. If a learner earns high grades it is concluded
that they may also have learned a lot while low grades indicate lesser learning.
According to Nagaraju (2004) the main goal of education is to help grow
of individuality. This final goal of education has aimed to encourage learners
to independently face the new situations and solve new problems. Other skills
will help learners to have a proper study habits and motivate learn efficiency.

Statement of the Problem
Aimed at identifying study habits, the researcher sought to answer the
following questions:
1. What is the profile of the respondents?
a) Age
b) Gender and
c) Preferred study habits
2. What is the level of the study habits of the respondents?

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
3. What is the GWA in statistics and probability of the students after
midterm?
4. Is there a significant difference between study habits by strands?
5. Is there a significant relationship between the study habits and
academic performance?
Hypothesis
Ho - There is no significant relationship between the study habits and
students’ academic performance in Statistics and Probability.
Significance of the study
This study was conducted in order to know if there is a significant
relationship between study habits and academic performance. Habit-behaviors
used when preparing to the academic materials. The finding of the study will
beneficial to the following:
Students. This study provides study habits to help the student maximize their
learning process. With this, it may lead the students to be a successful learner.
Parents. This study can be their guide in order to take their children in their
right track of learning.

Teachers. This study will serve as an understanding on the different types of
learning of their students. It will also serve as a guide on how the teachers can
develop effectively their subject matter.
School Administration. The subject area coordinators, they can provide the
future modification of educational policies, curriculum and strategies toward an
effective delivery of learning.
Future Researchers. This study may be able to use by those who are
interested to improve the body of research about the relationship of study
habits and academic performance and other information that are related to
their topic.

CHAPTER II
Review of Related Literature and Studies
This chapter presented the literature and studies that were relevant to
this study. This included foreign and local literatures and studies that support
the study in regards to relationship of study habits and academic performance
of Grade 11 students.
Foreign Literature
Do you ever think the difference between the successful students from
the average one? Why some students who put so much time in studying gets
by, while others who don’t put so much time and effort do well? Is it about the
IQ or genetics on other factors involved? The truth is that success in school is
not so much determined by sheer intelligence as knowing how to study.
Studying is a skill. In order to be successful students, they need to be highly
skilled in study. Think yourself as a limitless person, ready to learn this skill,
practice and develop effective study habits. These study habits works for high
school students rather than college (Mayland Community College, 2002).
This day, students who have good study habits were lessen..
Developing good study habits this day’s hard. Today, studying is considered
for student’s not easy thing; despite of campaigns and lectures on how
education is important to us (Develop Good Study Habits, 2017).
In high school, sometimes you will see students who are sleeping like
they don't care if they go to class or not, and some teacher would seemed that
they don't even care if you go to class or not but at the end, you will be the one
who suffer by having a low grades given by their professor. It's either you
passed or not in their subjects or courses. There is a difference between high
school and college when it comes on studying. A successful student does not
want to be in a situation where you will cram for exams because you will be
the one who will suffer absorbing much information in a short amount of time.
If you want to avoid that situation well you need to have a good study skills
strategies for you to avoid cramming for the last minute of your review and also
to make sure you will have a good or high grades. These skills are what you
need to be a successful student: (1) Schedule you study session. (2) Stick to
the scheduled study session. (3) Review all that you have covered in your
course (4) continues reviewing. The result of this study skills will let you have
a proper rest because you will not rushed all things in one minute before you
exams and also you will avoid sleepless nights just to review, and also it will
give you a good result on your exam because you will be familiar with all the
information that you have reviewed.

Different skills need to consider having a good study habits: Time
Management, self-discipline, concentration, memorization, organization and
effort. Relevant skills are the desire to succeed too (Mayland Community
College, 2002).
The importance of adopting effective study habits by students in the
whole process of learning has always been ignored. Although, teachers and
parents do desire that students invest time in studies and show good progress,
they are hardly made aware of the requirements of higher education in terms
of their role to carry out self-study. They are not given any orientation toward
effective study skills. This process must start at an early level of education
because habits islike attitudes are not develop overnight. Listening carefully to
lectures; asking questions; taking notes; revising, organizing and rewriting
lecture notes; discussing with others; thinking around new ideas and concepts;
reflecting on what the subject means; thinking about practical applications; and
reformulating — putting something into one’s own words are some of the
important skills that the students must develop. Reading and writing
assignments are an integral part of good study habits, but the most important
thing is to listen carefully to the lectures and taking notes effectively. But,
paying attention, particularly to lengthy lectures sometimes becomes next to
impossible, for many students. All of us have an experience on how hard it is
to concentrate on a lecture, particularly when it is less interesting or difficult to

2
understand. However, the learning starts at this point. Those who are unable
to pay attention to what the teacher is saying will have a hard time later in
grasping the content and concept of the lesson. If they know what attention
means and the different variables in its way, they can succeed in focusing on
their target. Many teachers and students have witnessed that paying attention
to lectures becomes difficult when the class is disturbed by some tardy
students entering late and exactly at the time when the business of teaching is
at its peak. Everybody’s attention then turns to the latecomer.
According to Becton Loveless, a bachelor's degree in International
Relations from Brigham Young University in 1998, to become an effective
student you must learn how to study smarter, not harder. These are the things
that students must do so that you can still insert studying in your busy
schedules. It also improves your ability to learn and to take information. (1)
Don't attempt to cram all works into one session. Sleepless nights just to review
for the upcoming exams. It is unhealthy for the body for not sleeping in right
time because of absorbing much information in just a short amount of time. As
a successful student you need to have a regular schedule and to be consistent
in your studies. (2) Plan when you're going to study. A successful student
needs to plan when he / she they study and stick with the schedules did. (3)
Study at the same time. It is not about planning when you're going to study but
it is about creating a daily study routine. It may be everyday or every week. If

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
2
you can't achieve a perfect study routine because of important events or
unexpected events make sure to get back to the study routine as soon as the
events have passed. (4) Each study time should have a specific goal. Before
planning, you also need to set your study goals to inspire you to continue to
what you were doing and to accomplish your set goal. (5) Never procrastinate.
Never delay or postpone the planned study session, even if many things need
to do or even if students don't have any interest in the subject. Yet, your
studying will become less effective and it will lead you to rush all things, and
rushing is the cause of failure. (6) Start with the most difficult subject first.
Students need to start from the hardest to the easiest topics. Studying the
hardest topics first requires more energy and a good attention, after the difficult
subjects students can now continue the rest of their works. (7)Always review
your notes before starting an assignment. Always make sure to write good
notes in class so when students review their notes, it will easily understand
and completely to do the assignments. Reviewing your notes let the students
to remember the past lectures and let students remember the important details
that they learned. (8)Make sure not to be distracted while you're studying.
Students need to focus, do not let yourself to be interrupt and distract while
studying. Make sure to find a nice place where to study just to avoid
distractions. (9) Use study groups effectively. "Two head are better than one",
Working with groups can help the students to understand things that their
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
2
struggling. Students can accomplished things quickly and help them to
communicate with others and share ideas inline to their topic. (10) Review
notes schoolwork and other class materials over the weekend. A successful
student reviews the lessons that was given during or over the week and always
prepare when it comes to writing notes so they can review well and effectively.
As stated by Fleming (2018), "it is never too late to develop your great
study habit" so that she provide a list of study habit that can help the student
to have a good grades and good academic performance. (1) Write down every
assignment- provide a material where you can put your assignment, and
different school works that you need to do. It helps you to remind on what are
the things you need to do.(2) Remember to bring your homework to school-
students sometimes forget to bring their homework. To avoid it, students may
have a place where they do their homework and a place where they can leave
it or prefer it to bring tomorrow. (3) Communicate with your teacher-
communication is important on education. If the students didn't understand
some of the instructions or words that came from the teacher, the students
must ask the teacher to make it more clearly to them. (4) Organize with color-
its like color coding. In every subject, highlighting, conducting research, etc.
Having a color coding is like being organized. (5) Establish a study zone at
home- find a place in your home where you can study comfortably and place
where you can put your school materials. (6) Prepare yourself for test days-
during the test day there are many distraction that you can experience and you
must be ready for that. Also, you must have a time management in answering
the question on your exam. (7) Know your dominant learning style- students
must know what learning style is applicable to them like if you are visual
learners or auditory learners. With this, it may also help them to improve their
study habits. (8) Take fabulous notes- there are different kinds of taking notes
like making an image or drawing that relates to the topic and also taking an
important notes or keywords that can help you in studying. (9) Conquer
procrastination- doing your thing for the last minute is not a good idea. It might
be good if you put a long period of time and efforts so that means you are
surely ready to the task that you are doing. Student must avoid doing things on
the last minute cause it means you're not prepare for the task that given to you.
(10) Take care of yourself- students must also take care of themselves even if
you have loads of school works. Students must have healthy body and mind.
During examination week, it is the perfect time to see if the study habit
is being effective. Some students can’t get rid of checking emails on social
media. It is the reason why we can't focus on our study. Investigators from the
lab of Larry Rosen, a Psychology professor at California State University-
Domingue Hills, watched students (263 students total in middle school, high
school, and college) completing school works/studying and recorded what they
were actually doing in 15 minutes. The researcher’s checklist includes

expected study behavior such as writing on paper, reading a book, and typing
notes, but also includes some activities such as looking at Facebook, texting,
using email, talking on the phone, and watching television." The students were
mindful that they were being watched and were told to "study something
important" researchers found that in a short period of time their attention was
drifted. In a minute of task behavior, students begin opening their phones.
Students open their social media accounts, texting, talking on the phone and
also watched television. It seemed that students are easily attracted in using
phones. The evidence is clear – when students multitask while studying they
can't learn and absorb the information very well because of distractions. As
slate reports, they understand and remember less, and they have greater
difficulty transferring their learning to new contexts. The important note is that
"the brain simply cannot do two complex tasks at the same time". Some
students believe that they can do multitask but they don't know the brain can't
keep up. According to Ladock (2018), we have different styles of studying,
some likes to listen to music while studying and some doesn't like to study
while listening to music. Not all study habits are acceptable. Study habits needs
time and attention. Some of the common bad study habits is (1) Studying in
groups. Studying in groups can help you build a relationship with your group
mate and use your communication skills. It also lets you share your ideas and
helps you to understand things where you struggle. Sometimes studying in

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
groups is not a good idea because you will lose focus in studying. Started
discussing about Newton`s Law may end up discussing about fashion trends.
(2) Studying in places with lots of distractions. Study in your preferred style of
environment where you will feel comfortable, no noise, places where you can
focus and no one can distract you. (3) Eating and drinking alcohol while
studying. You may feel hungry while studying so you try to find food to eat but
remember eating heavy meal makes you sleepy. It is not easy to avoid sleep
but you needed to finish what you have started and get back to what you are
studying. If you feel hungry, drink fresh juice or water. Drinking alcohol is a big
"No-No". (4) Playing music while studying. Playing music help you to relax
while listening to it, some says it bring them to a positive mood and that music
helps them with memorization but in some, listening to music while studying
could affect your hearing ability when you play it loud, you will get confuse
instead of memorizing, you lose focus it may distract you with the lyrics of the
song. You can play music but without lyrics and with a low volume. (5) Doing
several things simultaneously. Don't do things at the same time it is hard to
multitask. Your brain cannot keep it up. It may lose your focus in studying. You
need to be attentive while studying, give your time and attention to it. Plan your
schedule on studying so you can do other things after.
These are some of the common bad study habits that is needed to stop. If you
fall under these categories, you need to do something about it.

Local Literature

In order to be successful in studying or to achieve something related to
study, one needs to have a study habits. Study habits are the behavior used
when preparing for examination and other school learning academic materials.
According to Medina (2015), study habits are also refer to the practices done
by the students which serve as an instrument in helping the student to
understand their lesson well. It also gives a good result on their grades and
performances in school. The suitability of the practices to the personality of
students adds to the effectiveness of their study habits. Moreover, having a
good ratings and efficient performance in school, studying is crucial. The word
study is opposite to the word cramming, where one would procrastinate for a
long time and eventually when the exam came will learn everything has taught
in a quick way. Chances are would absorb all of the information in one day or
would not be able to memorize. Studying is a continuing process and not doing
in a quick, onetime event. There are few habits that one could do to gain
knowledge in not hard way and to retain information (Perez, 2018).
There are authors that suggest some tips or list of study habits that
student may use in their study. According to Mapua (2016), studying is the
most essential part of schooling. Even the student is studying in a big and
famous school; it became nonsense if they do not have effort. Mapua
recommends three tips to improve study habit of a student. Mapua suggests

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
that student must have self-control because it helps the student to correct their
improper way of studying and it also make students manage their self to study
lively. The second one is patience. It is important to the students because in
studying, learning is not just a little thing that student will get it easily, they
should give their efforts and lot of patience to have these things. And the last
one is the time management. Time is crucial thing so spending time for a
nonsense things are just wasting of time, that is why students should learn time
management to able to use it both in study and personal things. Mascarinas
(2016) also stated a list of new study habits for a student to try and change,
depending on their study needs. The first habit is stopped cramming.
Cramming is studied intensively over a short time. Students must study in
advance so that student cannot miss their lesson and they did not need to
study hard in a short time. The second habit is being in class. Attendance is
necessary for a student, it shows how active the students in their class. The
third habit is going to the library. A student can find everything about their study
in the library and information there are always valid. The last habit is taking a
break. The students would get tired in just one time session, thus studying
would not be very effective. Distribute the works that need to do in a different
time. Every student has different kinds of study habits. Some of them do the
meditation of their mind and body; it can help a student spend their study time
productively to become successful professionals (Mapua, 2016).

Furthermore, Ramirez (2015) state that the life of a student can pass
through hardships. There come the distractions, which can result to the
student's inability to concentrate and their difficulty in finding a study routine.
Some says that in order to get better grades, students should study more. This
might be true, but to study smarter is the other way to be consider. So here are
the tips to begin with. (1)Students have to keep their things organized. The
notebooks and bags should be clean and properly arranged. (2) Students
should manage their time well. Schedule everything so there is no time for
procrastination. (3) Also, students must find a study routine that they think
works for them. Jotting down notes, using mnemonics in memorizing, or be in
a study group., (4) To lessen the distractions and finish the work faster, just
bring the things you think you need., (5) Try to review on weekends to be more
prepared and confident., (6) Take care of own body and health. Drink tons of
water, eat nutritious meal and have enough rest. (7) Ask for someone’s help if
needed. (8) Take a break. Stop to eat or take a nap. Have a reward also.
Students must do what they wanted to do and eat their favorites too.
Everyone's study habits are different so students should find their own which
they think works for them. If students are having difficulty finding the suited
routine, students should learn not to discourage because study habits can take
time to develop.
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
In reaching educational success of individuals, a good study habit is
crucial, it considered as a surety and also it will fortify your study skills
(Magsino, 2017). To have a better life one has to ameliorate the study habits
because it serves as guide to reach success in your studies. At young age
students need to develop a good study habit to have a concrete structure that
support a child stronger and later on this would be his or her stronghold in
giving a high appreciation to education. Fermin (2017), agreed on what
Magsino has stated. She supported the claim that it was important to develop
the child's study habit to make them ready in school. She indicated four simple
ways that we should keep in mind. A child must: (1) Have a particular area
wherein after getting home from school, the child could take rest, tackle their
assignments, and study daily. (2) Built a good foundation particularly when the
child is struggling in Math. Providing them illustrations, concepts or practices
could greatly help overcome these difficulties. (3) Made reading a daily habit.
Taught them to read so they could gain benefits such as enhancing their
vocabulary, have more creativity, express themselves better and improve on
their own., and especially, it is important to (4) Do not burn out your child. Let
them play, rest and enjoy themselves from a long tiring study time. These tips
will not just make their child productive, but it can bring their child through the
learning that he or she could keep for a time. As mentioned by Alvarez (2017),
there are several students who considered studying is hard for that makes the
brain exhausted but the fact is gaining information never makes the mind tired.
Therefore, doing a good study habit regularly would be very useful for
everyone. There are five ways to have an effective ways of studying. First, you
should plan your study session. In studying, it is a must to create a schedule
to make your time organized. Therefore, it helps the students to develop a
consistent study habit and later on continuing a habit and be part of routine.
Second, find a therapeutic environment. In finding a room where to study must
consider where one feels comfortable, because there are some people whom
preferred silent room, some could be loud room, and some people preferred to
be together with friends. Third, Establish rules. Studying requires a much
focus; consequently, discipline is essential. One must not allow his/herself
interrupted by any phone calls or shows to watch. Fourth, structure your study
session. The most important thing in reviewing lessons is to study from the
hard one until the easiest one. One can made an outline to determine that
those of the highlighted necessary information. Lastly, sleep well and relax.
Always listen to your body's need. Take a rest for a while because human brain
is not a machine that works all day and all night.
Cuaki (2017), stated that been in the first batch of Senior High School,
students could face many challenges such as being costly-having extra tuition
for two years and of studying for about two additional years. Despite of that,
Senior High School students could receive unlimited rewards and opportunities

before entering into college or before they started working. To achieve those
things, he proposed five tips on how Senior High School students should spent
their two more years in studying; (1) Students should do their part to study
diligently as a way to attain their goals. Students should also know their
priorities and make a list out of It., (2) Maximized your time. It is very essential
to deal with it properly to avoid cramming. Students should also prevent being
a buzzer beater or doing Manana Habit., (3) if something was not clear, ask for
someone’s help. Call somebody to help like classmates or teachers.
Assistance would be given to understand more the concepts. (4) Avoid being
late or absent. If students were late or have absences due to valid reasons
then it’s okay. But if it's not, then it should not be and lastly, (5) enjoy
socializing. Go out and make your friends out of it.
Study habits are essential to each student to be able to be successful
in their academic performances. In having study habits it is inevitable to read
books to students. Reading books is also a study habits that a student must
portrayed. There was a campaign from “The Manila Bulletin” that encouraged
people to read a book at least 20 minutes because according to a study
conducted by neuroscientist, that when the reader was exposed 20 minutes a

(Mallari, 2017). And of course, even if the study habits mentioned above said
to be effective, the roles of the parents and teachers were also important to
monitor their children and students with their study habits because with their
guidance and lists of effective study habits, student academic performance
would surely improve (Medina, 2015).

The purpose of this is study is to know the relationship of study habits
and academic performance of the students in Guilan University of medical
sciences, the researchers use analytical-descriptive study using 461 student
as a sample from different courses in Guilan University of Medical Sciences
that is selected based on stratified random sampling method , the researcher
used data collection tools such as Palsane and Sharma Study Habit Inventory
(PSSHI) having 8 areas including time, physical status, ability to read, noting,
learning motivation, memory, exams, and wellness, and a 45 items
questionnaire for their conducted study . The data gathered was analyzed by
mean descriptive and inferential statistical tests, standard deviation,
Spearman’s correlation, coefficient and multiple regressions which have a
significant level of p < 0.05. The mean of overall status of the study habits of
student was 48.35± 10.37 from 90. The majority academic performance 67.2%
of the students was estimated to belong to the intermediate level. The study
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
found out that “Noting” has the highest correlation to the academic
performance of the student (p< 0. 0001 and r = 0.234) while the field of
wellness got the lowest correlation to the academic performance of a student’s
(p= 0.03 and r=0.101). Therefore, they concluded the study habits of students
are relatively good or in average level, in addition, the result showed that note
taking and reviewing of notes are one of the best strategies of the students to
develop their academic performances, they found out that there’s a significant
relationship between the study habits and academic performances.
The purpose of this study is to understand if study habits affect the
academic achievement of secondary and senior secondary school students of
Mysore. They also want to see the difference between secondary and senior
secondary based on their preferred study habits. According to Nagaraju (2004)
students who have a good study habits and skills are the students who can
have a better learning. The study has a sample of 625 students of Mysore City
in India they used stratified random sampling technique. They include 169
(27%) students who are poor on study habits, 444 (71%) students who are
average on study habits and 12 students (1.9%) who are high on study habits.
As shown above there were just a small percentage for those students who
are good in their study habits. In the second form of analysis it shows that those
students who are good on their study habits also got a high academic
achievement (M=82.25) and those who are poor on their study habits has also
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
got a low academic achievement (M=72.83). The result shows that having a
good study habits helps the students to get a high academic achievement. The
result also found out that the secondary students had a better study habits than
the senior secondary students. The researchers conclude that study habits
have a big role in every student’s life, because it will help everyone to be
motivated and active on their studies which have a good impact to their
academic performance.
The purpose of this study is to know the importance of study habits
towards to secondary students’ academic performance in the Federal Capital
Territory, Abuja. According to Grace (2013), that the process of learning is still
mysterious for everyone but still there were a process of studying that includes
reading, drawing, writing, and memorizing that helps every student to test
themselves over time. The study has a sample of 1050 senior secondary
students drawn from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and they also used
descriptive survey research design. The researchers visited the respective
schools of each respondent, for them to answer the researchers prepared
questionnaire for data collection. The data gathered from the respective
respondents were analyzed using the Chi-square for data analysis. With the
help of null hypothesis, the result and the conclusion of this study showed that
there is a significant relationship between study habits and students’ academic
performance. According to Marc (2011) having a good study habits helps every
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
student to have a successful academic and it can also open a lot of
opportunities and boost their self-confidence. 2
The study investigated Study Habits and Academic Performance of
Secondary School Students in Rivers-West Senatorial District of Rivers State,
Nigeria. The study has a population of 2,650 Senior Secondary two (S.S.2)
students in selected Public Schools in the River-West Senatorial District. 437
students were chosen using the Taro Yemeni's sample size selection formula.
The instrument used in collecting data was a questionnaire in which stick on
the ranges of relationship between the phases of study habit like regular
reading, student-teacher consultation, regular library patronage and regular
engagement in doing take home assignments and academic performance. The
study was being guided by the five research questions and was analyzed using
mean statistical tool. Based on the results of the investigation there is a high
extent of relationship between study habits and academic performance. As a
result, it is recommended that: parents should provide books and encourage
their wards to study hard: counselors should be employed to counsel students
on how to develop study habit: students should be encouraged to do their class
take home assignments.
On the other hand, the study of A.S Arul L. (2014), the study probed to
find the relationship between study habits and Academic Achievement. From
13 higher secondary school, 300 respondents were collected using Study

Habits Inventory by V.G.Anantha (2004) and the Quarterly Achievement Test
Questions. The findings were established and tabulated from the analyzed
data. The researcher found out that there were no significant relationship
between study habits and academic achievement of higher secondary high
school.
According to Roya and Murthy (2016), their study shows that study
habits has a big impact to every student’s life. Study habits can affect the
students’ academic performance and also to their academic achievement. In a
students’ life there were different way on how each of us motivates them to
study. This study clarify that study habits has a necessary part in every
students life, because it will helps everyone to be motivated and become active
on their studies and also to their academic performance. Nagaraju(2004),
states that those students who have a good study habits and skills are the one
who can have a better learning. In the study proposed by Uju F. and Paul A.
(2017), their study talks about the importance of study habits towards to the
secondary students in Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The study revealed that
there is a process of studying it includes reading, drawing, writing, and
memorizing because many believes that it will help students to test themselves
overtime. This study shows that there is a significant relationship between
study habits and students’ academic performance.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
On the study of Siahi and Maiyo (2015), entitled, "Study of the
relationship between study habits and
academic achievement of students: A case of Spicer
Higher Secondary School, India". The study sought to determine the
relationship of study habits and academic achievement. A survey design was
employed in this descriptive correlation study. The study used stratified
random sampling where in the population get were from Spicer Higher
Secondary School. Instruments used was the habits inventory by N.M. Palsane
and
school examinations records was the main instrument for data collection.
Quantitative method was
used to analyze field data collected. Interpretation and recommendations of
the findings was made
accordingly as per computed Pearson’s product moment coefficient of
correlation. Results of this study
revealed a positive relationship of 0.66 between study habits and academic
achievement. The results
implied that the study habits need a significant attention if we are to improve
performance. There was a
clear finding that the teachers and students seem not to take effort in
developing good study habits.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Local Studies
The main purpose of this study is to take care of The Study Habits &
Attitudes, Academic Aptitude, Personality Profile and Academic Performance.
Descriptive method is used primarily in this study. Sources of data come from
the students using the survey of Study Habits and Attitudes, Academic Aptitude
test and Personality test. The researchers finds out that the students has a
poor study habits and attitudes; average verbal intelligence; below average
non-verbal; average intelligence and average personality. Aside from these
circumstances they still manage to come up with a good academic
performance. Moreover, the correlation was found through the age,
gender, course, mother’s highest educational attainment, mother’s occupation,
size of the family, study habits and attitudes, academic aptitude-non-verbal,
personality profile in terms of independence and self-control. Besides, low
correlation or slight correlation exist on the father’s highest educational
attainment, father’s occupation, academic aptitude-verbal and personality
profile in terms of extraversion, anxiety and though-mindedness (Benelyn,
2008).
Among the data being gathered from the conducted survey, bringing
their homework to school is the highest study habits that are being used by the
students. This usually helps the students to satisfy their academic

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
performance. It is revealed that taking down notes is not popular among
students. Majority of the students does not use it as part of their study habits.
From the study conducted; the study habits of the students play a big role on
the research. But some of the students mostly used the study habit to discipline
themselves. The result of the study merely suggests that students with
academic scholarship must share their own habits on how they're facing their
struggles on getting grades. It is also important for those non-scholar students
to know more this habits for them to be aware and have an idea in order not to
get bore and not interested during studying (Pergis, 2014).
As stated to the study of Torres and Fajardo (2006), 63.25%of the
respondents spend more time in studying rather than of playing while 79.14%
considered themselves as healthy in a way that they do not get sick for their
studying.
On the study of Alcantara et.al (2014), the dimension of study of a
students were considered focus, time management, note-taking, test
readiness, and reading among the respondents. It was presumed that the
students have poor time management skills and reading and comprehension
skills. Most half of the respondents bring down notes and outlines exercises
regularly and gets ready well before real examinations

Salandanan (2008), suggested that the most important part of education
is by the student to learn on their own which means they can live and learn on
2
the life that is outside the school.
Synthesis of the Related Literatures and Studies
Many local articles give some list and tips about study habits. Some
information that gather from the study show their have was relationship
between study habits and academic performances. These articles have
demonstrated same and common study habit that may help the student in their
studies. According to Mapua (2016), every student has different kinds of study
habits for meditation of their mind and body when they are studying so using
those study habit mentioned, it can help a student spend their study time
productively to become successful professionals. Cuaki (2016) and Mapua
(2017), stated that time management or maximizing time is very important to
avoid wasting time and cramming. Alvarez (2017), indicated that there are
several students that say studying hard makes the brain exhausted but the fact
is gaining information never makes the mind tired. According to Mascarinas
(2016), always take a break, because if the students try to do too much
studying one at a time, they will become tired and their studying will not be very
effective. Alvarez (2016), supported this claim and come to the idea that when
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
a student felt sleepy while studying, it will not help the student to gain more
knowledge. Aside from the tips mentioned above, there are other list of study
habits provided which aims to help students, not just for their studies but as
well as themselves which would benefit their future.
As stated by Grace (2013), learning process is still strange to everyone
but still there was a studying process that helps students to test themselves
over time. This claim was supported by Marc (2011), say that about having
self-confidence can be help, if one of good study habits a person must have.
For Nagaraju (2004), study habits have a big part when it comes to student's
life.
According to Ladock (2018), in studying, you need to give your time and
attention. There are some bad study habits that may help you in your studying
and some that may lead you to lose your focus. People have their preferred
study habits but it also have a negative impact or disadvantages. We tend to
fall under the categories of bad study habits that we don't even know that it
was a bad study habit. We need to break our bad study habits in order get a
good and positive result.
We had our study habits since, we developed this and often we
enhances it, from having our study habits we do helped ourselves to cope up
with our academic problems. According to the study by Borron (2006), Study
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Habits and Attitude: The Road to Academic in which study habits should
usually first taught in our home as our parents mold us during our child days.
From our Grade school days, as usual teachers guide the students in studying
to improve their academic performance and to be able to have good moral and
good values as the important teachings by teachers. From the study conducted
by Salandanan (2008), we learned how to write down notes during discussions,
outlines exercises regularly and gets ready and prepared themselves before
real examinations. These, are the most significant part of our education, by the
way that the student has the freedom to learn on their own and even outside
the school. This study plays a big role on the research. The related study that
was conducted in the Davao City, Nacito (2006) and Azarcon et al. (2004),
Factors Affecting Study Habits on Academic Performance of Senior High
School Students of Davao Doctors College Freshmen students of Erick T. No
grades National High School. A student needs to develop their study habits
due to their low academic performance and as well as students have a lock of
study habits. In order for us to have an efficient study habits it is needed for
students to have an appropriate study habits like the most known study habits
like taking down notes and reading before the lessons, mostly of the students
used this habits because it is the most convenient one. But some of the
students based on the study of Pergis(2014-2015), The Study Habits &
Attitudes, Academic Aptitude, Personality Profile and Academic Performance

of the students of Technological Institute of the Philippines Quezon City mostly
used the study habits which are to discipline themselves. Like the study of
Alcantara et al. (2014), Study Habits and Attitudes: The Road to Academic
Success. It is considered that time management, focus, note-taking, test
readiness and reading are the dimension of study of a students. But it is
contradicting from the study conducted by Pergis (2014-2015). The Study
Habits &a Attitudes, Academic Aptitude, Personality Profile and Academic
Performance of the students of TIPQC and Moon (2006), Study Habits of
Scholars at Technological Institute of the Philippines. Among the data being
gathered from the conducted survey, bringing their homework to school is the
most highest study habits that students used. It is also revealed that taking
down notes is not popular among students. There are instances that those
students who give of all his/her time of studying are the students who was have
high academic performance in their school. Tons of study habits exist but there
is only one or more study habits that will literally works for a student, it will only
depends on the capacity and their preferred habits while studying because
people differs in many ways so we had many things that only fits for us.
According to Becton Loveless, You need to study smarter not harder.
There are many ways on how to start your study habits. Planning your Study
Habits helps you to develop yourself to be a highly successful student. It is to
avoid rushing and cramming. Also, Fleming (2018) said, “It’s never too late to
develop your great study habit. ’’ by developing good study habits, it can help
the students to have a good grade and academic performance.

Methods and Procedures
This chapter describes the methodology of research study,
supervision of interviewers, and data analysis techniques, including
collection of data, study design, sampling frame and procedure of
respondent’s selection.
Research Design
The researcher used Correlation research design as a design of this
study because this method enables the researchers to interpret the
theoretical meaning of the findings and hypothesis development for further
studies.
The Correlation research design is a type of non-experimental design in
which it measures the relationship between the two variables. Correlation
allows the researchers to clearly and easily see if there is a relationship
between the variables and as well as investigate naturally occurring variables.
This can then be displayed mostly in a graphical form.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Research Locale
The researchers conducted the study at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod
ng Valenzuela (PLV) under the Department of Senior High School. The
University was established in 2002 and offers different courses in various
discipline. It was located along Poblacion II, Malinta Valenzuela City near the
Old City government building. The Pamantasan ng Lungsod Valenzuela was
a city-funded institution of higher learning which offers undergraduate and
graduate degree programs to the less fortunate but deserving students of the
city (City Government of Valenzuela, 2011). It was under the administration of
Dr. Nedena C. Torralba (2002-present).
Sampling Technique
A stratified random sampling technique was used on the selected
participants in this study. This technique employed to ensure a fairly equal
representation of the variables for the study. The division is based on Senior
High General Academic Strand, Grade 11 students of Pamantasan ng
Lungsod ng Valenzuela. This was done by the used of fishbowl method
wherein the names were put in the jar and randomly picked until the required
number is obtained. That is, researcher applied sampling with replacement.

the students. The profiling was consists of name which was optional, age,
gender and their general weighted average in second semester, midterm. It
was only pure questions regarding to the problem.
For discussion purposes the researchers formulated the scale and assigned a
hypothetical mean range as follows:

This study utilized the above statistical treatment for interpretation purposes of
the gathered data.
Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers made a letter of permission for the School
Principal of Senior High School Department in regards on gathering data in the
attached schedule and condition. Upon approval, the researchers’ made a
survey questionnaire for the students to gather the necessary data needed in
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
the research. The research questionnaire was validated by the research
adviser. As the time it is validated, the researchers conducted a survey on the
grade 11 students. It is important to consider an ethical manner in the
participants to be the sample by means of permission for the sake of the
research.
Statistical Treatment
To interpret the data effectively, the researchers used the following
statistical treatment:
1. Weighted Mean- used to calculate the average value of particular set
of numbers with different levels of weight.
2. Percentage and Frequency- used to determine the percentage, usually
for data on profile.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
3. Pearson r - to determine the relationship between the two variables:

CHAPTER IV
Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of data
This chapter serves as the focal point of the research. Previous chapters
provided a groundwork for the study; expounds the research purpose,
providing an outline the research questions and a depiction on the topic’s
appropriateness. This chapter exposes the findings carried out from the
original analysis conducted. Then, these findings would be initial data to be
used for conclusion and recommendation in the next chapter.
The first question of this research is aimed at identifying the
respondents’ demographic profile through their (1) age, (2) gender, and (3)
preferred study habits. In order to answer these questions, the researchers
administered survey questionnaires that include some of the personal
information’s needed in this study.

In order to answer these questions, the researchers administered
survey questionnaires that include some of the personal information’s needed
in this study. Based on the data gathered, there are 100 students chosen
through fishbowl method with replacement. The researchers provided the

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
percentage of the respondents’ demographic profile. The result shows that the
ages of chosen grade 11 students are ranging from 16, 17 and 18 years old.
For 16 years old, there are 39 students. For 17 years old, it comprises of 60
and in 18 years old, there is only one student. In terms of gender, the chosen
100 students were consisted of 66 females and 34 males. Moreover, out of
their preferred study habit, 52% chose to study personally, while the remaining
48% chose to study in a group.
The researchers discovered that in terms of their preferred study habit,
personal has only 4% difference from the group. Assuming that they were not
much distant from one another. Presuming it was because, students have their
own way of processing learnings. This was supported by Ladock (2018),
saying we have different styles of studying. Some can study personally away
from distractions and some can study in a group where they can share
information’s.
The second question of this research focused on identifying what is the
level of the study habits of Grade 11 students in Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng
Valenzuela. The answer in this question, the researcher used the
questionnaire to get the average mean and together with the level of Personal
Study Habits of the respondents.

According to Palm Beach Community College (PBBC, 2008), students
should have at least three hours out of class for every hour spent in class. They
also said that a student must have a designated place to study with plenty of
room to work.
The second question of this research focused on identifying what is the
level of the study habits of Grade 11 students in Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng
Valenzuela. To answer this question, the researcher used the questionnaire to

Fortunately, listening and sharing as cooperative techniques
can alleviate frustration and, more importantly, allow group learning
to surpass what would be possible by a single student. (Slavin,1995)
The third question of this research aimed at determining what are the
General Weighted Average (GWA) in Statistics and Probability of Grade 11
student in Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Valenzuela. In order to answer this
question, the researchers used the questionnaire to get the GWA of the
respondents.

means the respondents in the HUMSS strand has the most average mean and
it shows that HUMSS students preferred to use personal study habits. Based
on findings, STEM got the average mean of 3.041 which is the highest mean
in group study habits, it means STEM students preferred to use group study
habits as their way of learning.
The researchers find out that there’s a significant difference between
the study habits by each strands. According to the given data above it shows
that GAS, HUMSS and ARTS preferred to use personal study habits. While
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
the ABM and the STEM strands shows that they are much preferred to used
group study habits as a way of learning.
Study habit is necessary to the student. According to Mapua (2016),
studying is the most essential part of schooling. Even the student is studying
in a big and famous school; it became nonsense if they do not have effort.
Study habit is also a guide of the student on how do they perform to their
academic performance. According to Medina (2015), study habits are also
refer to the practices done by the students which serve as an instrument in
helping the student to understand their lesson well. It also gives a good result
on their grades and performances in school.
Every student has a different study habits that they developed.
According to Mapua (2016), student has different kinds of study habits. Some
of them do the meditation of their mind and body; it can help a student spend
their study time productively to become successful professionals. Each student
in any strand has a different preferred study habits to their strand that needed
to be enhanced and improved.
The fifth question of this research aimed at determining if there is a
significant relationship between the Study Habits and the students’ Academic
Performance in Statistics and Probability in Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Valenzuela. In order to answer this question, the researchers used Pearson r
to know if there is a relationship between the two variables.
Table 10. Relationship between the personal study habits and Respondents’
Academic Performance in Statistics and Probability.
The Table shown above enlisted the calculations that would be required
if were about to calculate the r values. So as observed above, the computed
values was higher than the tabular value of 0.195 at 0.05 level of significance.
This indicated that there was a significant relationship between the two
variables. This could also mean that the academic performance of the students
in Statistics and Probability is affected by their personal study habits.
This result is in line with the earlier study done by Bacquiran (2011), that
the students’ academic performance in mathematics in Uyo Local Education
Council in Akwalbom State has a significant relationship on their study habits.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
According to Fagbemi (2001), the child is actively engaged in learning when
the students spend more time in their own respective study. This is consistent
with Anwar (2003)’s study which revealed that the correlation coefficient
between study habits and academic achievement is 0.695. This shows positive
correlation between academic achievement and study habits and the
magnitude of the relationship is high and strong. In means that when there is
an increase in the scores of study habits there will be also an increase in the
academic achievements of the students.

If the computed value is lower than the critical value, the null hypothesis
is accepted, while if it is higher than the critical value it is rejected. The
researchers obtained a 0.09 and a critical value of 0.195 given the degrees of
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
freedom to 98 and the significance level of 0.05. This means that the
researchers have to accept the null hypothesis. Thus, the result showed that
the academic performance of the students in Statistics and Probability was not
affected by their group study habits.
This findings supports the findings of Arul Lawrence(2013), here the
investigator thought that the student’s academic achievement and their
excellence mainly depends on their study habits, which is very influential in
their learning process. Hence, as the investigator gathered data to their
respective respondents, the computed value was lower than the critical value,
therefore their findings accepted their null hypothesis. Many researchers prove
that the study habits and academic performance correlate with each other.
Here the investigator supports that there is no relationship between the two
variables.

CHAPTER V
Summary, Conclusion, and Recommendation
This chapter will present the summary, the conclusion and
recommendations based on the findings
Summary
Study habits can influence the academic performance of the students.
It served as a practices that the students can apply to understand a particular
lessons well. It is important for the students to know their preferred study habits
in order to improved and maintain it, also to improve the students’ academic
performance with the help of study habits. Through this study, the researchers
was able to know the relationship between study habits and academic
performance of the students.
In this study, Correlation Research Design was used in order to know if
there’s a significant relationship between study habits and academic
performance in Statistics and Probability among Grade 11 students in
Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Valenzuela (PLV). After gathering the
respondents through stratified random sampling technique, the researchers
used self-made questionnaire or survey as a tool to gathered data to provide
information that the researchers can used to answer the research questions.
After this, the researchers used weighted mean, frequency and percentage
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
distribution in order to understand and interpret the data correctly. And then
the Pearson r was used in comparing the variables under 0.05 significance
value. Based on the results gathered, the following findings are hereby
presented:
1. The age of the respondents were classified into three classifications in
which 16 years old was consisted of almost 39% of students, 60% for
17 years old and 1 % for the student who has 18 years of age.
2. In terms of their gender, out of 100 respondents from different strands,
there were more female respondents as compared to male.
3. In terms of their preferred study habit, there was 4% difference between
the personal study which was consisted of 52% and the group study
habit which has 48%.
4. The average mean of the students follows, from the highest to lowest
average mean from Personal study habits, 3.11 students who doesn't
stop working on a problem until they get the answer, 3.8 for those who
connect their lectures to one another, 2.9 from students who can
concentrate well when they're studying, 2.98 who was up to date in their
assignments, 2.98 which shows that they start and keep going when
they decided to study while 2.95 of them persists to do the activity even
though it is complex or challenging, 2.86 of them answer the sample
questions to test themselves, 2.84 find it easily to focus on their study

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
schedule, 2.78 stop reading their lessons periodically to check their
understanding and 2.63 of the students can focus their attention without
too much effort.
5. The average mean of the students follows, from the highest to lowest
average mean from Group study habits, 3.65 of the students are usually
in favour of listening and sharing of ideas when it comes on groupings,
3.09 proactively participating in the group work, 3 from the interests of
the students in a subject increases depends on how they're working
effectively as a group, 2.98 of the students affects them positively when
they’re being involved in a group work while 2.96 are discussing
concepts, information and as well as issues with their other classmates,
2.91 of the students clearly understand lessons after they have talked
to their classmates, 2.7 of the students felt motivated to learn when
working within a group, 2.68 learned best within groupings, 2.62
preferred studying together with a group or with their friends and 2.36
of them usually asked their friends to do their homework together
6. There were 75% of the respondents got a “Very Satisfactory” General
Weighted Average (GWA) which is 85-89 in Statistics and Probability.
The remaining respondents got “Outstanding’’ General Weighted
Average (GWA) which is 90-100 in Statistics and Probability.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
7. In every student in each strand has a different preferred study habits
that they performed at the school. Based on the interpretation of data
gathered from the result of the questionnaire, the weighted mean of
ABM strand they got 2.777 from personal study habits and 2.791 in
group study habits, ARTS strand got 2.834 from personal study habits
and 2.80 in group study habits, GAS strand got 2.905 from personal
study habits and 2.791 in group study habits, and lastly to HUMSS
strand got 2.907 from personal study habits and 3.041 in group study
habits. It interprets the difference of each strand when it comes on their
study habits.
8. Based on the computation of the average weighted mean of the
students, In personal study habits the HUMSS strand got the average
weighted mean of 2.907 among others strand, while, in Group study
habits , The STEM strand got average weighted mean of 3.041 among
the other strands.
9. With regards to the relationship between the personal study habits and
the students’ academic performance in Statistics and Probability the
computed value was higher than the tabular value of 0.195 at 0.05 level
of significance. This revealed that the academic performance of the

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
students in Statistics and Probability is affected by their personal study
habits.
10. The researchers obtained a 0.09 and a critical value of 0.195 given the
degrees of freedom to 98 and the significance level of 0.05. It was
revealed that there was no significant relationship between the group
study habits and the students’ academic performance in Statistics and
Probability.
Conclusion
Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn:
1. Based on the data gathered from different strands, majority of the
respondents were female, aged 17, and much preferred to have a
personal study habit than to study in a group.
2. Based on the findings students who doesn't stop working on a problem
until they get the answer gets the highest average mean for personal
study habits which means that students are eager to solve problems
until they get it, while students who can focus their attention without too
much effort gets the lowest average mean. Meanwhile, students whose
usually in favour of listening of sharing of ideas when it comes on
groupings gets the highest study habits for group, which means that
they can easily learn when they're sharing ideas with other members
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
while students who usually asked their friend to do their homework gets
the lowest average mean.
3. The General Weighted Average (GWA) in Statistics and Probability of
each student shows a good result based on the data gathered from the
questionnaire.
4. From the data that gathered by the researcher, the researcher find out
that all student in each strand has a different study habits that preferred
from their strand that they were performed well and also the
appropriate study habit for each student
5. Therefore, by their strand, the researcher conclude that there was a
significant difference between the study habits by their strand.
6. With the used of the Pearson r formula it was revealed that there is a
significant relationship between personal study habits and the students’
academic performance in Statistics and Probability with the computed
value of 0.494 and critical value of 0.195 at 0.05 level of significance.
Contrary to the relationship of the group study habits and students’
academic performance in Statistics and Probability, it was revealed that
there was no significant relationship between the two variables with the
computed value of 0.0915 and critical value of 0.195 at 0.05 level of
significance.
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Recommendation
Based on the research conducted, the researchers would like to give the
following recommendations.
1. Consider adding more respondents to strengthen the research validity.
2. Since this study only focuses on personal and group study habits it is
recommended for other researchers to investigate and inquire for
possible study habits to develop new ideas and for further study.
3. Since this study concentrates only on the academic performance of
students in Statistics and Probability it is suggested for other researcher
to look for other subjects to utilize in order to prove and to know the
differences what study habits does students usually use in different
subjects.
4. Teachers must help students develop their study habits.
5. Researchers must point out specific study habits to be develop each
strand in the population that usually fits for them.
