INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Academic performance is a complex phenomenon influenced by multiple factors.
These factors include institutional, pedagogical, and psychosocial aspects, as well as
socioeconomic status (Vargas, 2014). Teaching efficacy, study habits, family
environment, and distractions significantly predict students' academic achievement
(Arora & Singh, 2017). Other influential factors include student base knowledge,
school environment, environmental pollution, teacher and parental support, friend
circle, and health (Sharma & Bansal, 2021). Understanding these factors is crucial for
improving educational management and student success in various academic settings
(Brew et al., 2021).
However, many students struggle to achieve high academic performance due
to various factors. According to Alcuizar (2016), poor academic performance is
significantly impacted by nutritional status and poor living conditions, particularly in
rural areas. In light of these factors, Musser et al. (2017) stated that low-achieving
students often struggle with the transition from high school to university, adhere to rigid
gender roles, and managing mental health issues. Additionally, poor academic
performance is significantly influenced by a lack of family support, financial problems,
low motivation, inadequate learning facilities, and ineffective teaching techniques
(Govindarajoo et al., 2022).
A study conducted in Bangladesh concluded that students have low academic
performance due to their fathers' low education levels, partial family cooperation,
irregular class attendance, excessive time spent gossiping with friends, and overuse
of smartphones (Shahjahan et al., 2021). Another recent study conducted in Vietnam

by Phan et al. (2024) found that students also exhibit low academic performance.
According to them, students use fewer learning strategies, which results in higher
stress and anxiety.
Moreover, at Maticmatic National High School in Pangasinan, it was found that
some students had below-average academic performance in the first semester, largely
due to a lack of consistent study habits. The study reveals that 54.17% of students
exhibit poor study behaviors, such as seldom reading or taking notes, with 50% never
taking notes and 37.50% only studying the day before exams. External factors,
including a challenging home environment 87.50%, peer pressure and social media
addiction 83.33%, and financial instability 79.17%, further contribute to these poor
habits, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address both academic
behaviors and these external influences (Salcedo-Relucio, 2019).
Meanwhile, in local issues in Northern Mindanao, Philippines, it was found that
students in the area have poor academic performance, as well as low scores on the
National Achievement Test (NAT), due to poor living conditions and the distance of
the school from their homes. Moreover, schools in rural areas receive less support
from the local government for instructional materials and teacher training (Alcuizar,
2016). Additionally, it was stated that students in Mindanao, Philippines, have low
academic performance due to remote learning which has led to a high level of stress
and great extent of adaptive coping strategies (Cahapay & Rotas, 2022).
Multiple studies have already been conducted to investigate the academic
performance of students. However, these studies examined how other factors, such
as emotional intelligence (Jacob et. al. 2015), social media (Goet, 2022), and
motivation (Sabanal et. al. 2023) were related to academic performance. In this study,
the researchers seek to investigate the relationship between study habits and
academic performance among General Academic Strand students at Tagum City
Regional Academy for Senior High School. This investigation aims to address a gap
in the current research. Given the scenarios mentioned earlier, the researcher felt
compelled to investigate these variables. Moreover, this study is expected to
contribute to the current understanding of the subject, particularly within the
educational context.
Statement of the Problem
This study aims to determine the significance of the relationship between the
study habits and academic performance among general academic strand students in
Tagum City Regional Academy for Senior High School. Specifically, it seeks answers
to the following questions:
1. What is the level of study habits among general academic strand students of
Tagum City Regional Academy for Senior High School in terms of:
1.1 note taking; and
1.2 time management?
2. What is the level of academic performance among general academic strand
students of Tagum City Regional Academy for Senior High School in terms of:
2.1 self-efficacy;
2.2 students attendance; and
2.3 class engagement?
3. Is there a significant relationship between the study habits and academic
performance among general academic strand students of Tagum City Regional
Academy for Senior High School?
