CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

According to Losare (2007) study habits simply mean how a student manages his/her

time in such a way that he/she can review and study his/her lesson in school regularly. It

becomes a habit or a way of life. A student who develops his/her study habits cannot sleep or go

to school without studying his/her lesson.

As a general rule, a student should study his/her lesson before going to sleep or go to

school prepared by studying his lessons. A student can be more intelligent and have self-

confidence in class compared to those who do not develop their good study habits. A student

who does not have good study habit cannot do well in class recitation, daily quizzes and actual

student demonstration since she/he did not study and review the lesson learned. Without well

developed study habits, a student cannot perform well in class and has less developed self-

confidence. Therefore, he/she may not be able to reach his or her ambition in life.

To develop good study habits, the students should balance and manage their time wisely.

They should keep themselves away from bad traits of this attitude; they could serve as models to

their brothers, sisters and classmates. As a result, they will be motivated to follow their example.

Effective study habits of learners will not be developed in a day, a month, or a year. It is

life-long process and must be reinforced by parents, teachers and the school administrators. Villa

(2009)

Statement of the Problem

This study will be conducted to find out the study habits of BEEd first year

students,section A, B and C of College of Teacher Education enrolled in the school year 2013-

2014.

It aims to answer the following questions:

1. What are the study habits of the students?

2. What are the most common study habits of the students?

3. What are the least common study habits of the students?

Significance of the Study

The result will be beneficial to the following:

Teachers ,this might inspire them to develop strategies of teaching that could motivate

the students to appreciate and understand more the subject matter and to be able to guide them

properly towards good and effective study habits;

Students , it would be the benchmark for them to know what are the effective study

habits and to realize that good study habits will eventually improve their academic performance.

Parents , for them to help, encourage, and guide their child to exert more effort in

studying and to give them moral support by providing necessary time, materials and facilities for

comfortable reviewing and studying at home.

Future Researchers , serves as a basis or reference that could be related to their future

studies.

Scope and Delimitation

The study will be conducted to find out the study habits of Bachelor of Elementary

Education, first year students enrolled during the school year 2013-2014.

In determining the most common study habits of the respondents,the first 3 ranks are

considered and the bottom 3 will be the least study habits.

Rationale

We chose the first year students of Bachelor of Elementary Education sections A,B and C

as our respondents because they are the third batch of the upcoming battery examination and we

want to know what are the preparations that their making particularly to their study habits.

Definition of Terms

Habit - is an acquired act that is routinely and automatically performed by an individual

Study Habits - it pertains to where, when and how students study effectively.

Most Common Study Habits- the top three in the ranking of fifteen listed study

habits.

Least Common Study Habits - the bottom three in the listed study habits.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

These pieces of literature were selected because of their similarity and relevance to the

present study.

Villa (2009) Effective study habits of learners will not be developed in a day, a month, or a

year. It is life-long process and must be reinforced by parents, teachers and the school

administrators.

Marquez (2007) stated some ways of encouragement for good study habits:

1. Learn to smile.

2. Learn to comfort.

3. Be friendly.

4. Cite words of encouragement.

5. Generate collaborations.

6. Get to know your teaching style.

7. Develop effective strategies.

8. Learn to accept opinions.

9. Create visual materials.

10. Show appreciations.

Franco (2007) cited pointers which student should put into practice for effective studying:

Take up the challenge Set up a goal Set your priorities Develop a routine


8/32

Be systematic Be responsible Keep balance

Losare (2007) study habits simply mean how a pupil manages his/her time in such a waythat he/she can review and study his/her lesson in school regularly. It becomes a habit or a way

of life. A pupil who develops his/her study habits cannot sleep or go to school without studying

his/her lesson. A child can be intelligent and have self confidence in class compared those who

do not develop their study habits.

Aquino (2007) believes that there are three outstanding factors responsible for the

students failure to acquire from study habits namely: lack of parents supervision; unwise use of

leisure and lack of needed material of studying.

Balacanao(March 2005). Pointed at the lies in the quality of study habits, interest and

performance concerning academic subject is of great importance towards the acquisition of a

deeper knowledge and understanding .

Attitude towards study habits affect academic achievements. Felipe (1998) suggested that

learning should start with attitude in elementary level. The day to day activities in elementary

slowly impart knowledge but must surely lead him to form an attitude to good study habits afterhe acquires the right attitudes, the pupils goes on further for a higher level of education,

studying and strengthening that positive attitude and which he acquired in his early life and

experience.

Herrera (1998) noticed that one of the major causes of the drop in the quality of education

is the poor and ineffective study habit employed by the students. Most of them now do not know

and do not follow the basic rules of effective study habits. Majority of the students do not

possess the right study habits which could be the stair way successful achievements of their goalsin life.

According to Clark and Miller (1997) academic success requires an intensive success of

attitudes towards learning and the acquisition of technique of acquiring achievement skills.

Those skills need to be acquired, they do not come automatically.


9/32

Kelly states (1997) not so much one knows but rather his attitude towards himself and

others is the main spring of behavior. It that a child who is mentally superior becomes an

achiever because of his attitude. Favorable attitudes towards the school and learning taskfacilitate the pupils attainment of worthwhile goals.

According to Mangubat (1995) wrote that conferences with parents could be very

effective measure in having pupils from getting failing grades or low academic achievement.

They are very important in affecting change in the habits. In some ways, these conferences may

show the parents that the teacher is the interested in the welfare of their children.

CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY

Research Design

The descriptive survey method will be used in collecting the data of this study to

determine the general study habits of the respondents.

Sources of Data

The respondents of this study will be students of Bachelor of Elementary Education I-A,

I-B, I-C of College of Teacher Education, Cabagan-Campus, School Year 2013-2014.

Data Gathering Instrument

A fifteen (15) item Study Habits Questionnaire will be used to determine the study habits

of the students. Some of the questions in the Study Habits Questionnaire will be patterned from

the questionnaire checklist formulated by Balacanao, et, al (March 2001) in their action research

entitled Study Habits and Acad emic Performance of First Year High School Students of Delfin

Albano High School.

Data Gathering Procedure

The 30 students (10 students for every section)from first year A, B and C OF BEEd will

be requested to give their honest responses by checking one from the 1,2,3,4,5 rating scale on the

fifteen (15) item. Study Habits Questionnaire which will be personally administered by the

researchers.

Method of Analysis

To determine the study habit of the respondents, frequency counts, and weighted mean

rating will be used. In determining the most common study habits of the respondents, the first 3

ranks are considered and the bottom 3 will be the least study habits.
