...different; thousands would love to study at night before going to bed, while thousand others will love to study at dawn. Late night is normally quiet and you are unlikely to be disturbed by anyone. Besides you have longer hours to review all your notes and works unlike the dawn when you will have to race against time. A thorough review at night will help you remember the whole thing you have learnt while the hesitant studying at the dawn is highly prone to forgetting. This is true for a particular group of people. This is entirely against the theory of “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise”. Waking up the whole night to study for exams is sure to affect your health. Late night study is less productive as the mind loses concentration late at night. Lack of sleep affects your daily life. It weakens the strength of the students and you can lose focus during the examination. It will also lead to serious memory impairment, thus making no use of the hard work and study. Research has suggested that sleep and good memory are bed fellows. Burning midnight oil harms more than it serves. The researchers say that at least a good night sleep within 30 hours is needed to remember a new task later. Science has also said that teen brains work most effectively at night. However, the scientists concluded that a good night's sleep, which includes both slow-wave and REM (Rapid eye movement) sleep, produces the most effective performances. What matters is not late night...

...INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Our character is a collection of our habits, and habits have a powerful role in our lives. Habits consist of knowledge, skill, and desire. Knowledge allows us to know what to do, skill gives us the ability to know how to do it, and desire is the motivation to do a certaintask (Covey, 1990). Habits are routines of behaviour that are repeated regularly and tend to occur subconsciously. Habitual behaviour often goes unnoticed in persons exhibiting it, because a person does not need to engage in self-analysis when undertaking routine tasks. Study skills include how a person studies, as well as the particular resources a person uses. They are intentional use of one or more cognitive processes to accomplish a particular task. Good study skills include note-taking, reading, summarizing, organizing, identifying important information, and meaningful learning and elaboration (Ormrod, 2008).They are generally critical to success in school, are considered essential for acquiring good grades, and are useful for learning throughout one's life. Study skills are the methods of researching and learning that are used to absorb educational information. It has been widely accepted in modern times that college is a time to learn, experiment, and grow. Academic performance is the commonly used gauge with which to determine whether or not a student has indeed learned what he has been taught. It is the ability of the student to apply academic skills in a variety of...

...CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE This chapter discusses the related concepts and finding from various literature and studies from books, journals, and online resources to support the necessity of the causes and effects of study habits on children. What is Development? Many people use the terms “growth” and “development” interchangeably. In reality they are different, though they are inseparable; neither takes place alone. Growth refers to quantitative changes – increases in size and structure. Not only does the child grows larger physically, but the size and structure of the internal organs and the brain increase. As a result of the growth of the brain, the child has a greater capacity for learning, for remembering, and for reasoning. He grows mentally as well as physically. Development, by contrast, refers to qualitative changes. It may be defined as a progressive series of orderly, coherent changes. “Progressive “signifies that the changes are directional, that they lead forward rather than backward. “Orderly” and “coherent” suggest that there is a definite relationship between the given stage and the stages which precede or follow it. As Anderson has emphasized, “Nor is development merely a matter of adding inches to stature, or ability to ability; instead, it is a complex process of integrating many structures and functions”. Because of this integration, each change is dependent upon what preceded it, and it, in turn, affects what will come after. (Elizabeth Murlock...

...Effects of Study Habits in Academic Performances CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction The extent of student’s learning in academics may be determined by the grades that a student earns for a period of learning has been done. It is believed that a grade is a primary factor that indicates of such learning. If a student 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 affect the grades. Not a single factor can be definitely pointed out as predicting grades. It has been interplay of so many factors – gender, IQ, study habits, age, year level, parent’s educational attainment, social status, number of siblings, birth order, etc. In fact, almost all of existing environmental and personal factors are a variable of academic performance.

Atimonan, Quezon In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Bachelor of Elementary Education By: Remrena Venesha D. Santamina Chapter 1 Problem and It’s Background Introduction Nowadays, many school learners fail to cope with the daily demands of school. Different distractions are interfering the child’s ability and inclination to focus on his assignments, lessons and activities in school. As a result, his academic achievement is not done at very best effort. During the pre-school age, a self-study habit must be develop. Self-study habit can be defined as the ability of the learner to allot time in reviewing and reading his/her lessons. It is gradually developed as the learner grows and matures. Different learners have varied style of study habits. Some study after arriving from school, while others do it at the middle of the night. Unfortunately, developing these skills requires time, patience and effort from the parents, teacher and the learner himself. Additionally a very high level of intrinsic motivation must be present to have this. It cannot be underestimated that self-study habit is one of the foundations of educational achievements. Those who excel in school...

Some are born there. Others just end up there. And many don’t want to be found. It’s a complex and diverse problem – and one that some people don’t even acknowledge exists. But whatever their story, Aviva believes in standing up for these street children. That’s why, over the last four years, we’ve helped more than half a million of them through our Street to School initiative. Our response To explore how we can work with others to do even more for street children, we held a roundtable discussion in South east Asia on 10–11 December 2013. The event was attended by 32 different organisations including the United Nations, UNICEF, Save the Children and the Consortium for Street Children, as well as representatives from governments and global business. To build momentum before and during the event, Aviva businesses around the world united behind the hashtag #togetherforstreetkids on social media. This encourages like-minded organisations, celebrities and roundtable attendees to promote the campaign and contribute to the discussion. Aviva also partnered with Adidas Group, HSBC, the Body Shop, Kuoni, Microsoft and CSR Asia to report on how businesses in Asia are helping to protect the rights of vulnerable children – see Joining...
