HUMSS LAPULAPU STUDENTS

Van Howell Abellon

Background of the Study

According to Odiri (2015), study habit is different individual behavior about

studying and a combination of study method and skill. In other words, study habits

include behaviors and skills that can increase motivation and convert the study into an

effective process with high returns, which ultimately increases learning.

In the study of Jafari, Aghaei, and Khatony (2019) Academic performance of

students is one of the main indicators used to evaluate the quality of education in

universities. Academic performance is a complex process that is influenced by several

factors, such as study habits.

Study habit is different individual behavior about studying and is a combination

of study methods and skills. In other words, study habits include behaviors and skills that

can increase motivation and convert the study into an effective process with high returns,

which ultimately increases learning.

The grade 12 Lapulapu students' study habits are shown in the table, with the

majority of them selecting Sometimes. As a result, they contribute little, draft poorly, and

undermine academic performance. In conclusion, students' study habits have a significant

influence on their academic performance.

Methodology

In this study, we observe different groups in our section on how their study habits

affect their academic performance. We used the self-made questionnaire to determine the

study habits and academic performance of Grade 12 HUMSS Lapulapu students. We

selected 15 respondents in our section a total of 45 students.

The questionnaire has 5 questions which the respondents answer Always (5),

Usually (4), Often (3), Sometimes (2), and Never (1), which most of them answered
Sometimes. Hence, they barely participate, draft, and break their Academic Performance.

In conclusion, the study habits of the students have a great impact on their Academic

Performance.

The objective of the study

This study aims to identify the study habits of the students and how they can affect

to their academic performance.

Recommendation

1. To the students and incoming grade 11, the key to becoming an active student is

to learn how to study smarter, not harder. This can be an advantage in your

education. An hour or through of studying a day is usually sufficient to make it

through high school with satisfactory grades, but when college arrives, there aren't

enough hours in the day to get all your studying, done if you don't know how to

study smarter. Do you find yourself keep studying late at night, expending more

energy trying to keep your eyelids open when you are studying? If so, it's time for

a change. Successful students typically space their work-out over shorter periods

and rarely try to cram all of their studying into just one or two sessions. If you

want to become a successful student then you need to learn to be consistent in

your studies and to have regular, yet shorter, study periods. Successful students

schedule specific times throughout the week when they are going to study and

then they stick with their schedule. Students who study sporadically and

whimsically typically do not perform as well as students who have a set study
 schedule. Even if you're all caught up with your studies, creating a weekly

routine, where you set aside a period a few days a week, to review your courses

will ensure you develop habits that will enable you to succeed in your education

long term. Not only it is important that you have a plan when you're going to

study, but it’s also important you create a consistent, daily study routine. When

you study at the same time each day and each week, you're studying will become

a regular part of your life. You'll be mentally and emotionally more prepared for

each study session and each study session will become more productive. If you

have to change your schedule from time to time due to unexpected events, that's

okay, but get back on your routine as soon as the event has passed.

2. Simply studying without direction is not effective. You need to know exactly

what you need to accomplish during each study session. Before you start

studying, set a study session goal that supports your overall academic goal.

3. To the influencer you must teach the students on how their study habits help their

academic performance wisely.

4. For the future researcher, this study can help to determine the impact of study

habits on academic performance.

This study aimed to determine the Study Habits and Academic Performance of

Grade 12 HUMSS Lapulapu Students and establish the impact of their Study Habits on

their Academic Performance.

The self-made questionnaire of the researchers was used in this study to describe

and determine the Study Habits and Academic Performance of the Grade 12 HUMSS

Lapulapu Students.

The total population of this study is 45 Grade 12 Lapulapu students but we selected

18 students to become our respondents.

Among the results of the respondents, they got many of them chose Sometimes the

choices, interpreted their study habits to have an impact on their Academic Performance.
