INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
percent of their weekly time listening to lectures. This means that note - taking
is then a common method student can use when listening to a lesson.
The researchers would investigate the students in the current
curriculum. This would investigate the relationship between the effects of
study habits on the academic achievement of the senior high school learners
in Don Carlos Polytechnic College. Particularly, it would look into the grade 11
senior high school learners that are currently enrolled in this semester school
year 2022-2023.The paper strived to help the institution, particularly the
students, to determine what study habits routine can keep them be delighted
in learning which may elevate the student’s performance. Therefore, this
study sought to determine the relationship between student’s perception on
study habits and academic achievement.
The main objective of this study was to determine the perceived level
of students' study habits and the academic achievement of BSED
Mathematics in Don Carlos Polytechnic College, Don Carlos, Bukidnon.
Specifically, it aimed to:
1. Determine the level of perceived learner’s study habits in terms of:
4
a. Homework;
b. Time allocation; and
c. Note-taking;
2. Determine the level of learner’s academic achievement;
3. Correlate learner’s perception on study habits and academic
achievement.
This study was limited to the senior high school learners of Don Carlos
Polytechnic College, Don Carlos, Bukidnon during the academic year 2022-
2023. The focus of the study is to ascertain the correlation between the study
habits of the grade 11 senior high school learners and their academic
achievement.
Definition of Terms
The following terms used in the study are defined operationally and
conceptually:
Academic achievement refers to the exam scores of the students in a
mathematics examination.
Homework refers to a task as a part of course in study.
Note-taking refers to the ability to record important topic of the lesson.
Study habits refer to student’s study habits: homework; time allocation;
note taking.
Time Allocation refers to time to be devoted to instruction in studying
specifically in mathematics subject.
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
This chapter contains the review and related literature and related
studies, the conceptual framework, the research paradigm, and the
hypotheses of the study.
class; thereby having good grades at the end of the term or semester. Asserts
that good study habit through planning helps students prepare for what is
ahead, and accomplish their academic goals. Thus, lack of study habits
clearly put students at a disadvantage, and is one of the main reasons
students need remedial classes, fall behind in coursework and drop out of
school (Ebele, 2017). Developing good study habits drastically lower students'
risk of academic struggles, and failure to complete a college degree. Hence,
students who tend to perform high across most of their subjects can be
considered to have good study habits by being actively involved in their own
learning process, continuous planning and carefully monitoring of the
educational task that they are required to complete.
Different students have different and unique study habits. What may be
a good study habit to a particular student may be a bad one indeed to another
student. As such, it is often difficult to practically pin-point that this is good and
that is bad. There is no doubt that different people study in different ways and
it is a near certainty that what works for one person may not work for another.
Generally, study habits can be classified into two-good study habits,
and bad study habits (Katelyn, 2013). Good study habits are sometimes
referred to as positive or productive study habits. As the name implies, they
are those pleasant study habits which have the tendency to improve the
academic performance of students or that seem to produce good results.
They are the study habits which make students successful in their studies
after developing and applying them throughout their academic career.

than it is to not have them take notes. The thinking behind this is that note-
taking requires effort (Chang, 2014). Rather than passively taking information
in, the act of encoding the information into words or pictures forms new
pathways in the brain, which stores it more firmly in long-term memory.
On top of that, having the information stored in a new place gives
students the opportunity to revisit it later and reinforce the learning that
happened the first time around. Compared with writing alone, adding drawings
to notes to represent concepts, terms, and relationships has a significant
effect on memory and learning (Wammes, 2016). When students are given
the opportunity to revise, add to, or rewrite their notes, they tend to retain
more information. And when that revision happens during deliberate pauses in
a lecture or other learning experience, students remember the information
better and take better notes than if the revision happens after the learning
experience is over. Finally, if students collaborate on this revision with
partners, they record even more complete notes and score higher on post-
tests (Luo, 2016). Additionally, it helps students recall the important
information they learnt and makes them independent (Bahrami, 2017).

Conceptual Framework
Research Paradigm
Based on the problems stated above, the following null hypothesis was
tested:
This chapter deals with the methods and procedures used in this study.
It includes the research design, research locale, the subject participants of the
study, the instrument, the administration, and collection of the questionnaire,
scoring procedures, and statistical treatment of the data gathered.
Research Design
Following the objectives and stated hypothesis, the present study used
a descriptive-correlation research design. This design allowed the researchers
to gather data on the level of learner’s perceived study habits towards their
academic achievement, which can be analyzed using descriptive statistics
such as frequency distributions and measures of central tendency. A
correlational research design is appropriate for investigating the relationship
between two or more variables, in this case, the relationship between
learner’s study habits towards their academic achievement in Math 2-
Statistics and Probability.

The participants of the study were the grade 11 senior high school
learners in Don Carlos Polytechnic College who were enrolled for the 2nd
semester of Academic Year 2022-2023, has a subject of “Math 2-Statistics
and Probability” and classified as regular students. The respondents were
informed of the importance of filling out the questionnaire, and their answers
were kept private, confidential, and used solely for academic purposes. The
chosen respondents for this study were one hundred eighty-nine (189) grade
11 senior high school learners.
Sampling Procedure
Research Instrument
This study mainly used survey questionnaires to gather data from the
students of Don Carlos Polytechnic College, Don Carlos, Bukidnon. The
administration of the survey followed the following procedures:
First, the questionnaire was checked and subjected to scrutiny by the
research advisers or any other research personnel. After which, the newly
crafted questionnaire, without any loopholes and corrections, was validated by
the research adviser. The researchers then crafted and presented a letter of
approval to the Dean of the College of Education to conduct a survey in Don
Carlos Polytechnic College, along with the necessary approvals and
permissions. Next, the researchers conducted the research and explained
thoroughly the presented questionnaire to identify the type of study habits that
is indicated in the choices before answering. Researchers then collected all
the questionnaires from the grade 11 senior high school learners within Don
Carlos Polytechnic College. After obtaining the data, it was subjected to
intensive observation for data treatment, analysis, and interpretation. Lastly,
based on the intensive observation, the researcher generated conclusions
and recommendations for the study.

Statistical Treatment
The data were grouped and categorized based on the objectives of the
study. The mean was used to determine the perceived level of learner’s study
habits and academic achievement of grade 11 learners in Don Carlos
Polytechnic College. Pearson Correlation was also used to describe the
significant relationship between students' perceptions of study habits and
academic achievement.
PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter presents the analysis and interpretation from the data
through the collected survey questionnaire to find out the relationship of study
habits to the academic achievement of Grade 11 Senior High School learners.
The table presents the level of perceived leaner’s study habits in terms

them" with a mean score of 3.65. This suggests that students often struggle to
study and must review the lessons related to mathematics. The difficulty in
understanding the lessons may limit their ability to fully participate in
discussions and engage in meaningful mathematical discourse.
The least-ranked items contain the statements "I have trouble picking
out the important points in the mathematics exercises I solved" received a
mean score of 3.44, falling under the category of "Uncertain" but leaning
towards a moderately positive interpretation. This indicates that respondents
are somewhat uncertain about their ability to identify the important points in
mathematics exercises, but the overall attitude is still positive. Also, the
statement "I find it hard to pick out the important points of a mathematics
assignment" received a mean score of 3.27, also falling under the category of
"Uncertain" but leaning towards a moderately positive interpretation. This
suggests that respondents are somewhat uncertain about their ability to
identify the important points in a mathematics assignment, but the overall
attitude is still positive.
Overall, the findings indicate that students are mostly aware on the
importance of effective studying through note-taking with a mean score of
3.61. This indicates that students enhance their productivity by actively
engaging in learning. These findings highlight the study habits like note-taking
to improve the skills and better memory in remembering what is good for their
academic life.
This finding aligns with previous research by Chang (2014), whether
taking notes from lectures, note-taking has been shown to improve student
learning. In other words, if students want to remember more of what they
learn in the classes, better to jot down notes than it is to not have notes. The
thinking behind this is that note-taking requires effort. Rather than passively
taking information in, the act of encoding the information into words or
pictures forms new pathways in the brain, which stores it more firmly in long-
term memory.

This portion reveals the results for the academic achievement of the
respondents in Mathematics using their midterm score in the subject Math 2-
Statistics and probability. The data are presented in Table 4.
Legend:
Percentage Level of understanding
90% - above Outstanding
85%-89% Very Satisfactory
80%-84% Satisfactory
75%-79% Fairly Satisfactory
74% and below Did not meet expectations
The table shows that the correlation between the study habits
(homework, time allocation, note-talking) and the academic performance of
mathematics learners were not found to be significant. This can be confirmed
by their corresponding r and p-values for all three correlations are greater
than the conventional threshold of 0.05, indicating that the relationships
observed could have occurred by chance. In statistical hypothesis testing, the
null hypothesis (H 0 ) assumes no relationship or no significant effect. In this
case, the decision to "not reject ( H 0 ¿", suggests that there is not enough
evidence to conclude that there is a significant correlation between the study
habits and academic performance of mathematics learners.
It is important to note that correlation coefficients and p-values alone
do not provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of study habits
on academic achievement. Other factors, such as sample size, study design,
and the specific measures used for study habits and academic performance,
can also influence the results. Additionally, this information does not provide
insights into the importance of studying the effects of study habits on
academic performance, as stated in the summary.
