...ultimate root of a student’s failure to finish a homework assignment on the designated date of being due? The reality is, many if not all school goers despise the dreaded work that takes place after classes, especially when it is unnecessary and papers are continually being piled high one on top of the next. In the end of the day, the work will not become completed and many hours of the student’s time will have vanished. The act of assigning rigorous tasks to students during their pause of school restricts them from having down-time with their family and prompts the lack of enthusiasm for wanting to learn as well as frustration and dissatisfaction. Firstly, completing various assignments at home limits the period of relaxation students have to be associated with their families. In “The Case For and Against Homework”, the authors Robert Marzano and Debra Pickening provide evidence as to how "too much homework harms students’ health and family time.” The pressure of finishing a project or multiple worksheets in one night’s time causes extreme fatigue and having relations with family is unwanted after an exhausting day at school or nearly impossible to achieve.

Yet, it is crucial that teachers should recognize certain basic elements in learning to help students to gear up for greater advancement. One of these basic elements is study habits. In the global setting, Igun (2007) of the Nigerian Universities and Delta State University library stated that the study habits of students in some universities is a common problem because of some factors such us barriers in creating a study environment. In the national setting, Philippines ranked second and third to the last in the English and Math National Achievement Test result (National Framework Plan for ICT’s Basic Education, 2005). The cause of this drastic decrease in the performance of the students was supported by a study conducted by Acido (2010) who identified students in public high school in Manila who performed low due to poor study habits. In the local setting specifically in Davao City, Nacito (2006) and Azarcon, et.al. (2004) found that Grade Six students enrolled in Piedad District of Toril S.Y. 2005-2006 as well as the Freshmen students of Erico T.
