...The first Study Habits Inventory (SHI) was prepared in 1933 by Wrenn, with a view to survey this feature among students. In 1935 research workers interested in the improvement of study habits, they paid attention to the discovery of effective study techniques and tried to improve study skills and habits of work through ‘how to study’ courses and other systematic procedures. Cuff (1937) carefully derived study-habits inventory and found that it aids in finding the pupils in need of special guidance and helps to identify remedial work for the good and bad study habits of individual cases. Brown and Holtzman (1955) constructed a questionnaire to survey students ‘study habits', as well as their attitudes and motivation towards academic work. Items were compiled from group interviews with good and poor students, existing inventories on study habits, studies using observational and interview techniques and reports on related experiments in the field of learning. Scoring keys based on validity studies in ten colleges were developed. Study habits basically consist of effective methods of study (Sorenson, 1954). Study is the total of all the habits, determined purposes and enforced practices that the individual uses in order to learn. Study is hard work, no easy substitute is available (Armstrong, 1956), Brown and Holtzman (1956) and Srivastava (1967) point out that for good academic success, good study habits and attitudes are important. Some reports stress that certain personality characteristics...

...Experimental psychology is an area of psychology that utilizes scientific methods to research the mind and behavior. While students are often required to take experimental psychology courses during undergraduate and graduate school, you should really think of this subject as a methodology rather than a singular area within psychology. Many of these techniques are also used by other subfields of psychology to conduct research on everything from childhood development to social issues. What Do Experimental Psychologists Do? Experimental psychologists work in a wide variety of settings including colleges, universities, research centers, government and private businesses. Some of these professionals may focus on teachingexperimental methods to students, while others conduct research on cognitive processes, animal behavior, neuroscience, personality and many other subject areas. Those who work in academic settings often teach psychology courses in addition to performing research and publishing their findings in professional journals. Other experimental psychologists work with businesses to discover ways to make employees more productive or to create a safer workplace, a specialty area known as human factors psychology. The History of Experimental Psychology * 1874 - Wilhelm Wundt published the first experimental psychology textbook, Grundzüge der physiologischen Psychologie (Principles of Physiological Psychology). * 1875 - William James opened a psychology lab in the...

...Chapter II Review of Related Literatures and Studies This chapter reviews recent facts taken from various reading materials that support our study on the academic performances of students in relation to their study habits. Related Literature In Dorothy E. Jhonson’s Behavioral System Model, she stated that a behavioral system encompasses the patterned, repetitive, and purposeful ways of behaving. These ways of behaving form an organized and integrated functional unit that determines and limits the interaction between the personand his or her environment and establishes the relationship of the person to the objects, events, and situations within his or her environment. Usually the behavior can be described and explained. A person as a behavioral system tries to achieve stability and balance by adjustments and adaptations that are successful to some degree for efficient and effective functioning. The system is usually flexible enough to accommodate the influences affecting it. Therefore, it is well-explained that through little efforts on modifying a student’s habits in studying, they can develop an organized pattern of behavior useful to their goal of becoming a successful student who has good academic performances. This theory clearly supports this study that study habits are relevant to academic performance. As it is said in the study of Crede and Kuncel (2008), study habit, skill, and attitude inventories and constructs were found to rival standardized tests and previous...

...founds to be true in that study habits survey was that more than 30 years ago still rings true today-students fail because they do not know how to study. The best advice he can give is to develop sound study skills. He said that a student should make sure that he/she has a good study environment, a good desk, a sturdy chair, good light, comfortable room temperature and a quiet atmosphere. That means he/she should eliminate all external and internal distractions. Second, get a good overview of the assignment before starting the work. Know what skills, facts and ideas that are expected to master and the ground that are expected to cover. Start with most difficult subjects first, while the mind is freshest and most receptive. In his experimental study on the effect of learning, Winter stated that the first and probably the most important thing needed was to acquire the habits of studying effectively. Effective methods of study consisted basically of those fundamental principles which under laid efficiency. Doing one’s work regularly, staying at it until it was done and not getting behind in it should be the general guides for successful study as well as in any field of endeavor. It was assumed that the pupils had ability enough to cope successfully with the academic tasks. The success of the responses to the task depended in great measure to their efforts. As postulated by Credé and Kuncel (2008) in their research at the University of Albany said that Study habit, skill, and attitude...

...importantly, how we study and how we learn. Social media has given us the ability to share ideas, feelings, and information at unbelievable speed. We can now communicate faster and wither greater efficiency with our lecturers and professors. Students can utilize social media by posting and sharing notes and lectures online, or watch a video pertaining to yesterday’s history class. Social media is not just limited to students, but many professors are now communicating with their students and peers via online. But social media is so much more. It enables students to attend lectures and classes who are half way around the world through the use of social media. It also allows professors and students to conduct meetings online. Currently, there are still many who oppose the idea of using social media as a tool for learning and studying. Regardless, many believe that technology is a vital part of today’s student success in the classroom. Many parents believe that the traditional learning styles is the way to go and that social media is just a distraction and may lead to procrastination. Background of the study The researchers were persuaded to conduct a study on the effects of social media in the study habits of junior nursing students in relation to academic performance. The setting for this study was conducted at the University of Perpetual Help system-Laguna. The reason for conducting this study is to investigate the various effects of social media in the study habits of junior students...

...CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction “To be able to walk into the doors of a college class is not only an honor, but also an achievement. Choosing to pursue a degree in higher education is not a choice that is taken lightly. From the time we speak our first words to the time we wake up from our first kindergarten to when we receive that family and the world around us, is preparing us for the final exam known as college. This is the make or break point for many people and what polishes them up for the career of their choice” (Alicia Holman, 2010). College is only a glimpse of the real world. It is a transition stage wherein one is given the opportunity to learn more about oneself, explore possibilities, and broaden one’s horizon. Students learn to relate well and manage people, work in teams, and hone their skills and develop their ability to its maximum potential. Researchers acknowledge the growing recognition that today’s students in higher education are confronted with more demands and pressures (Pabiton, 2007). Likewise, Neville, Happner & Wang (1997), noted that most students, University/College life is usually considered a time when young adults struggle with newly found freedom and deal with developmental tasks of interpersonal relationships as well as academic concerns Attending college is indeed a preparation to the actual work that one must experience. It is a journey that young people need to undertake in order to be ready...

...allowing their children to buy or rent computer or video games. Even through these numbers are not particularly high, they may overestimate the amount of parental monitoring of children's video game play. Foreign Literature Lepper M.R. & Gurtner, J (2002), states that prolonged and excessive use of computer games can cause, mainly upon children, a number of physical and psychological problems which may include obssesive, addictive behavior, dehumanization of the player, desensitizing of feelings, personality changes, hyperactivity learning disorders, premature maturing of children, psycho motor disorders, health problems (due to lack of exercise and tendonitis), development of anti-social behavior and loss of free will. Foreign Studies Today's "pop-culture" trends are primarily marketed to children and adolescence through the digital media. It is estimated that the average teenager uses some form of digital media between 15 to 20 hours per day through "multi-tasking", or using several different types simultaneously. The current "igeneration", the name given to the group of children entering today's elementary school gymnsiums, is more " tech savvy" than any time in the history. For example, since their birth the ipod, iphone, ipad, Wii, xbox, playstation, flash drive, travel drive, satellite radio, streaming radio, streaming video, and YouTube have all been developed. This high degree of technology saturation is creating a generation of learners who exhibit a distinctly...

...Measuring depths with echosounders and sonars 1)Leadline 1 - 2,000 soundings per survey 2)Single Beam 500,000 - 750,000 soundings per survey 3)Multi Beam 4,000,000 - 100,000,000 soundings per survey Echosounder An echosounder sends sound pulses through water to measure water depth. The water’s depth is calculated by recording the time between the emission of the sound and the reception of an echo as well as the speed at which the sound travels through water. The echosounder first was developed for military purposes, but by the mid-1930s it was used widely for hydrography in Canada. Early echosounders were quite crude and had low resolution (large sonar footprint). They required constant attention to get moderate performance. Advances in digital circuitry and digital signal processing led to modern survey echosounders with high resolution, high precision and good long-time frequency stability. Improvements in transducer materials and design led to narrow-shaped beams capable of resolving small targets on the seabed. When the echosounders replaced the leadline, there was no longer regular sampling of the seabed type. Instead, CHS hydrographers have developed ways to use acoustic backscatter to determine the type of seabed. Sidescan sonar Because the single-beam echosounder is aimed vertically, it cannot capture information on depth or hazards in the spaces between sounding lines. Sidescan sonar grew out of the idea of tilting a broad-beam echosounder to one side...

...teams, and hone their skills and develop their ability to its maximum potential. Attending college is indeed a preparation to the actual work that one must experience. It is a journey that young people need to undertake in order to be ready to face the challenges of life. It is one of the developmental tasks that they must overcome successfully. Education and multiple skills enhancement have become the principal vehicles in the creation of sustainable advantage in the competitive world market. Poor academic performance has been implicated as one of the major factors for adolescents to have poor self-esteem (Call et al, 1990, cited by Isaac et al., 2006). These individuals do not have the passion and motivation to persevere in their studies. They could not see what lies ahead and what they will be expected to do when they reach their next stage of development. Consequently, they are confused academically and hoping to have a guide who will help them in this moment of personal and academic struggles. Hurlock (2000) also pointed out that academic performance is one of the developmental tasks adolescents need to accomplish, successful achievement of which leads to happiness and success with later tasks, while failure leads to unhappiness and difficulty. In this connection, the researchers would tend to believe that tourism students have disadvantage when it comes to their academic preparation unless the necessary support is given by their parents and school as well.

...students spend most of their time doing recreational activities. They are convinced that we should enjoy the last days of our high school life. This research will help understand the connection between their temptations—internet, social-networking sites, TV, movies, and music—and their studies. II. The Statement of the Problem Our focus is about the study habits of the students of SLCV—particularly of St. Vincent. We noticed that they are always out to entertain themselves, and that usually concerns the amount of allowance they are given. We want to know: How are the grades they receive when they don’t really spend a certain amount of time studying? How much allowance do they receive? Where do students spend their allowance? These are the questions we want to answer through our research. III. The Significance of the Study A majority in our community are unemployed. Those are usually the ones who went easy along when they were in their last years of schooling. This research will help in pointing out the students who will need more focus in their grades, and in the process, discover new methods of motivation for them to better discipline themselves into putting more work into their studies. IV. Theoretical Framework Some of the theories we based this research on: The first is, we observe that students are convinced that since they have made it to the graduation year that they will actually be graduating. They believe that since they will be leaving, things will...
