...of the Study Reading is an attempt to absorb the thought of the author and know what the author is conveying (Leedy 1956). Studying is the interpretation of reading materials. Study habits and skills are particularly important for college students, whose needs include time management, note taking, Internet skills, the elimination of distractions, and assigning a high priority to study. Fielden (2004) states that good study habits help the student in critical reflection in skills outcomes such as selecting, analyzing, critiquing, and synthesizing. Nneji (2002) states that study habits are learning tendencies that enable students work privately. Azikiwe (1998) describes study habits as the way and manner a student plans his or her private reading outside lecture hours in order to master a particular subject or topic. Study habits help students master their areas of specialization. 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. However, many experiences and studies found out that there are also several factors that would account for the grades. No single factor can be definitely pointed out as predicting grades. It has been interplay of so many factors – gender, IQ, study habits, age, year...

...INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Among other components of any organization, human beings are the most difficult to manage. Many authors have posited financial and material components of any organization than to manage the human component. They insinuate that it is easier to manage even animals than to manage human beings. (Nakpodia, 2006; peretomode, 1991; Peretomode, 2001; Ubogu, 2004 Emore, 2005; Ukoshi, 2004) Santillano (2010), in her study highlights the factors affecting tardiness. The result show that the tardiness cause personality traits of a person, including low self-esteem and anxiety as triggering factors of tardiness. Also tardiness is an inborn quality and other experts believed that some people are “chronically tardy” for the reason they consciously and unconsciously get good things from it. In addition parental attitude, family structure, socioeconomic status, teacher attitudes and schoolmates influence are factors affecting tardiness. Tardiness in the Philippines is getting worst since it is habitually done by most of the students even though in some professional field. In addition, some Filipinos make it very difficult to switch to Filipino time instead they make it as an expression used to say it is a cultural thing not to be on time and not to care. Moreover, many situation occur that tardiness is yet part of their lifestyle. (http:/filipinoaustralian.com.au/tardiness/) Today most of the students incur tardiness for they...

...(BSAT) is a program that prepares students for a career in the accounting and finance divisions of organizations in the private and public sectors. The accounting courses in the program, combined with business management courses, equip students with the needed skills, proficiency, and intellectual abilities to lead successful careers. But, unlike Accountancy, BSAT is a non-board course. However, the graduates of the said program can take the Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) Examination for license. This study aims to determine the reasons and causes why BSA students end up getting BSAT degree instead of Accountancy degree. We, researchers, will investigate on the factors affecting the students focus in studying. We will be conducting survey in the form of questionnaires and interviews with 3rd year and 4th year BSAT students of Araullo University – Phinma Education Network. There are many factors that affect a BSA student to fail: his abilities, his interest in the course, the teaching method, the classroom, lack of personal direction, pressure from parents or peers, laziness, lack of confidence, family or relationship problems. Another factor that is going to be stressed out in our study is the retention policy being imposed in the accountancy program. It will be explained here how this policy affect each and every BSA student; what improvements can be done to maximize its use and be an effective tool in producing quality students. Furthermore, there is also a growing...

...Day Ann V. AB Psychology Lacaba, Nina BS Psychology CHAPTER 1 RESEARCH PROBLEM This chapter presents the Introduction of the study, Background of the study, Statement of the problem, Significance of the study and the Scope and Delimitations of the study. A. Introduction Study habit is the pattern of behavior adopted by students in the pursuit of their studies that serves as the vehicle of learning. It is the degree to which the student engages in regular acts of studying that are characterized by appropriate studying routines (e.g. reviews of material, frequency of studying sessions, etc.) occurring in an environment that is conducive to studying. No one can fully understand how a student feels every time she got low scores for her tests and examinations. No one can explain why they are neglecting their studies and ignoring the importance of education. No one can interpret their actions beside the people, who are once a student, preferably the students with their same stage. Student’s experiences within the classroom help to develop their behavioral, social, and academic skills. The quality of the interactions that students have with their teachers predicts later academic success (Pianta, Steinberg, & Rollins, 1995). 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...

Studying not only prepares a student to excel in a class but reinforces the lessons already taught. Studying reawakens the lectures and reading materials. Studying is merely reviewing and committing to memory new information. Now that we have established the purpose and importance of studying one question still remains. How does a study habit affect my academic studies? The extent of student's learning in academics may be the grades a student earns for a period of learning has been done.

... 1.1 Introduction The extent of students learning in academic maybe determined by the grades a student earns for a period of learning has been done. The primary indicator of such learning is based on the grades of a learner. We can conclude that if a learner got high grades it means that they have learned well and if a learner has low grades we can indicate that he has a lesser learning.

...difference between the students then and now when it comes to behavior, discipline, academic performance and study habits. Causes of these changes vary. As per observation, students nowadays are more focused on digital gadgets, gaming and strolling that sometimes they intend to ignore the real main role of being a student. Although changes in behavior is normal among students, other factors which also affects are the technologies that are being invented, the fast changing modernization and the environment that surrounds them. Instead of advancing their studies, they want to spend their vacant time doing their personal habits. Playing computer games, watching their favorite television show or movies and hanging out with friends are some common habits that usually students have. These habits make them forget to do their school responsibilities because of enjoyment that it causes to them. Good study habits are the key to learning.

Foreign Literature 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.) before starting to study. Students are not suggested to spend on time jumping up and down to get things. The PBCC suggests also that distracting noise should be minimized however they said that there are some people need sound and some like silence. In this case, a learner must finds what works for him or her. Culprits are family and friends. consider a "do not disturb" sign and turning on your answering machine is the way also to have better study habits according to the PBBC..
