(Baby Thesis) Factors that can affect a students schoolman performance Submitted By move up Ann J. Soltes Submitted To Michael Rey C. Bucol Introduction When students earn a below average grade on a test or a report card, it does not necessarily have in mind that they did not theatre of operations hard enough. There are umpteen intelligent children who do not perform well in school, not because they cannot comprehend classroom lessons, but because of external factors that affect their academic success Waking up early for school has recently been acknowledged as a reason why students are not performing to the best of their ability.Sleepy students are less likely to pay attention to their teachers. Published an article in 2006, which discusses a study regarding the dumbfound time. Across the country, schools on average begin around 730AM. However, the study, led by a CAD. IT teachers, discovered that students perform better later in the twenty-four hours for biological reasons. The article states that specific high schools that started later saw an improvement in their students academic achievement simply because they were able to wake up later. The close of students learning in academics may bedetermined by the grades a student earns for a period of learning has beendone.It is believed that a grade is a old indicator of such learning. If alearner earns high grades it is concluded that they may also have learned alot while low grades indicate lesser learning. However, many experiences and studies found appear that there are also several factors that would account for the grades. No single factor can be definitely pointed out as predicting grades. It has been an interplay of so many factors gender, IQ, study habits, age, course of instructionlevel, parents educational attainment, social status, number of siblings, birthorder, etc.In fact, almost all of existing environmental and personal factorsare a variable of academic performance. However, at this p oint in time, theresearchers would like to investigate the possible relationship of study habitsand the factors affecting it to the academic achievement of under graduate. Theinvestigation of on this area therefrom becomes a real and compelling motivationfor the researchers to conduct this study. Statement of the Problem This study intended to find out the factors affecting the study habits ofundergraduate CAD. IT students.It also aimed to reply the following questions 1) What is the profile of the respondents according to 1. 1 Time management 1. 2 Learning Skills 1. 3 Study Skills 2) What extent of influence did the independent variables have on studentstudy habits? 3) Did the independent variables significantly influence students studyhabits? Recommendation The researchers believes that students, particularly CAD. IT bequeath be benefited from the findings of this study since the study provides basis for awareness and better understanding of how their current study habits affec ted their academic performance.Likewise gives them a morefocused and clear perspective on how the specific behaviours related totheir studies influenced study habits. Consequently, this awareness alsogives a much deeper understanding of their selves as students consideringthat the college spirit is typically beset of developmental adjustment demands. School administrators-like subject area coordinators, may also beguided in the formulation of future modification of educational policies,curriculum and strategies toward a more trenchant delivery of learning. Teachers- forget also be help in understanding better the diversity oflearning of their students.As such, it is hoped that they could develop more sound methodologies in teaching their subject matter. Guidance and Counselling Centre-will also be help by this studythrough providing a more focused and factual knowledge on the factorsaffecting students study habits. This increased the understanding of theGuidance Counsellors on th e interplay of the variables studied in thisresearch. Such knowledge is hoped to help the Guidance and Counselling practitioners towards the development and implementation of more effective programs in consideration of these variables. Research SettingsThe study will be conducted inside the computer aided design and information technology (CAD. IT) Data Gathering The researchers will ask permission from the administration office to allow the student to answer the questionnaire. The answering of the questionnaire will be done in the CAD. IT intitution. Answered questionaires then, will be gather, responses coded andwill be subject to the appropriate statistical computation for reliability. These students name will then be deleted from the list of the total population so asnot to include them again in the selection of the sample population.Instruments Use Self- developed questionnaire composed of 10 items questions will be use to measure Study Habits of CAD.
