INTRODUCTION: Attention Getter: Palo Alto, California is home to one of the most prestigious and competitive school districts in the country, which is located near Stanford University. The school district is made up of twelve primary schools, three middle schools and two high schools. Since 2009, there have been 4 reported student suicides due to the intense school environment and rigorous workload. The domino effect of suicides started in particular with high schooler Jean-Paul Blanchard. Jean-Paul was known for his kindness, compassion, and social skills.

...do play a major role in helping their child develop good study habits. Children should begin to develop homework habits as early as first grade. Providing a positive and supporting study environment is a key in getting good grades. Help your child develop good organizational skills by encouraging them to stay focused on their homework, but not completing it for them. Another important role of homework is not only for children to learn about a subject, but also to teach them responsibility. Being successful in school requires hard work and developing a habit of working toward positive goals. It is important for parents to be involved with their child’s study time by spending time with them, such as helping them with their homework, but not by completing it for them. For example, parents can check to see if the answer to their math problem is correct or help them understand an assignment by explaining it to them. When helping your child, be sure to give them praise and positive comments as this will let your child associate positive feelings with studying. Effects of Modern Technology on the Study Habits of Student “When it comes to study they only depend on technology rather than reading books. And technology can also affect in body health resistance and once you already learn to love copy and paste in the internet in the future you become lazy.” Mr. Philippe Christian John D.

...Four Basic Principles to Enhance Study Skills 1. Make doing homework a positive experience: associate it with love and affection, freedom, fun and self-control. 2. Make homework a high priority. 3. Use homework to teach organization skills and improve learning skills. Remember that the primary purpose of homework is to improve learning and foster work habits. 4. Set expectations for homework, then provide and enforce logical, meaningful consequences if those expectations are not met. Make Doing Homework a Positive Experience • Provide support and praise for homework completion. • Be available to provide non-critical assistance. • Give children choice in when, where, and how they complete homework assignments. • Encourage your children to complete homework well enough that they have a sense of pride and control over their own learning and levels of competence. • Maintain a positive and helpful attitude: avoid criticism and anger. • Help children understand what types of homework they enjoy, and encourage them to choose assignments accordingly. When given a choice, some students prefer written reports; others prefer hands-on projects. • Use homework preferences in developing a homework schedule. Some children prefer to complete the assignments they like least first, while others prefer to do their easier or favorite work first. • If a child dislikes a subject, find ways to make it less frustrating. For example, set a goal of doing five math problems and...

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 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.

Also qualities of citizens depend on the quality of the education they achieved and quality of the education besides other factors depends upon study habits and attitude of students. The quality of education is reflected academic achievement which is a function of study habits and attitudes of students. Thus, to enhance the quality of education, it is necessary to improve the study habits and study attitudes of students. To improve study habits, those factors which hinder its effectiveness must be addressed. Identification of these factors may lead towards remedial measures. No two people study the same way, and there is little doubt that what works for one person may not work for another. However, there are some general techniques that seem to produce good results. No one would argue that every subject that you have to take is going to be so interesting that studying it is not work but pleasure. We can only wish. Everyone is different, and for some students, studying and being motivated to learn comes naturally. If you are reading this...
