Term definition: 1) Time management
Time management has also been characterized as a habit developed only through determination and practice (Simpson,1978), as prioritizing and respecting those priorities, setting priorities and scheduling tass (!ordan et al., 1989). Time management can also be considered as the process, by "hich an individual is more
e##ectively accomplishes tass and goals (Schuler,1979), a process by "hich an individual obtains control over the timing and the content o# "hat he$she does and as "hat can be accomplished "ith time (%nacen & 'ass, 198).

Farcus /redG and Aathan @. =uncel (08) in their research at the Eniversity o# lbany said that Study habit, sill, and attitude inventories and constructs "ere #ound to rival standardized tests and previous grades as predictors o# academic per#ormance, yielding substantial incremental validity in predicting academic per#ormance. The meta3analysis eamined the construct validity and predictive validity o# 1 study sill constructs #or college students. They #ound that study sill inventories and constructs are largely independent o# both high school grades and scores on standardized admissions tests but moderately related to various personality constructsH these results "ere
inconsistent "ith previous
theories. Study motivation and study sills ehibit the strongest relationships "ith both grade point average and grades in individual classes. They also said that cademic speci#ic aniety "as #ound to be an important negative predictor o# per#ormance. *n addition, signi#icant variation in the validity o# speci#ic inventories is sho"n. Scores on traditional study habit and attitude inventories are the most predictive o# per#ormance, "hereas scores on inventories based on the popular depth3o#3processing perspective are sho"n to be least predictive o# the eamined
criteria. %verall, study habit and sill measures improve prediction o# academic per#ormance more than any other noncognitive individual di##erence variable eamined to date and should be regarded as the third pillar o# academic success. ccording to the ho"3to3study.com (09), students "ho are very success#ul in their desired career have good study habits. *t is stated in the "ebsite that students apply these habits to all o# their classes.
The "ebsite also
recommends some tips in improving study habits. The "ebsite also suggests that the student should try not to study all the sub+ects in +ust a period. The "ebsite also added that i# you try to do too much studying at one time, you "ill tire and your studying "ill not be very e##ective. Space the "or you have to do over shorter periods o# time.

Significance of the Study
The administration is the nucleus o# the e##ective organization basically #or the school. *t is important to gain insight about the #actors regarding the poor study habit o# the students #or the #ollo"ing reasons. The result o# this thesis "ill bene#it the school, teachers, students, to the parents o# the students, and to the researchers as "ell. or in this study, the school "ill no" the reason "hy their students had a poor study habits so that they can mae a possible action to"ards this concern. *n this "ay, the school "ill certainly be given an idea on ho" do they "ere going to #ace the #act that their students "ere eperiencing a decreasing academic per#ormances at school "hich "as the most concerned problem raised by the teachers, and the #indings "ill provide them some basis in planning more e##ective educational guidance that geared to"ards the #ormation o# the students2 character as a person. To the dministrators- "ho are the policies maing body o# the school.
Through the #indings o# the study, they can #ormulate various policies, rules and regulations that "ill help emphasize not only the importance o# good education, and the "ay to achieve it, but also on the value on good study habits that bring good results in their school per#ormances. To the Teachers- the teachers are the #acilitators o# learning and the students
are the active participants o# it and so both elements are needed #or the learning process to tae place. nd this study "ill provide them in#ormation to their concern regarding the poor study habits o# their students enrolled in Crade K and Crade K*, aluarte Jlementary School. Through this study, they can thin o# a "ay on ho" they can increase the interest o# the students upon studying especially "hen taling
about their academic per#ormances. They can also properly motivate and guide their students to"ard ac
selves and on ho" they are going to determine their study habits so they can improve it #or the better. *n this "ay, it is not +ust their study habits "ill change but also to their school per#ormances. To the Parents- one o# the reasons "hy the students "ill attend their classes
is their parents2 motivation to them. *n this study, the parents "ill be able to no" their role upon improving their children2s study habits "hich then can help their children in attaining a per#ect mar #or their academic or curricular per#ormances. To the !esearchers- the #indings o# this study may provide them in#ormation
about the study habits in "hich they can possibly mae use in real li#e situation. urthermore, this study "ill not only give bene#its to the #ollo"ing mentioned above but also to the other #actors that can a##ect each components o# bene#iciaries "hich could be internally or eternally.

This chapter presented the aims at providing a strong #oundation to this study and literature or re#erences gathered by the researchers that "ere anchored on. *t covers a revie" o# eisting relevant literatures "hich "as eplained according to its concern. Such are presented as to connect the varied #indings and theories in relation to the independent and dependent variables. Study habit is the daily routine o# students "ith regards to their academic duties and responsibilities. Jach student has his o"n study habits varying on his pre#erences "ith the place and time o# studying, techni
the problem that the parents #aced along these levels o# learning "ere the "ays on ho" they2re going to let their children develop a study habit "hich can help their children in learning as "ell. The parents let their children #ollo" the rules in the house and let them have their study habits in studying their lessons even a #e" hours, but the students must study their lessons regularly. Fe /omb et al (199) suggested that students learning achievement depends on their attitude, motivation per#ormance #or success, and study habit or sills that people employ to pursue the desire outcome. Foreover, there "ere some #actors lie the parental involvement, socio3economic status o# the learner, and teacher2s personality or approach to students that can a##ect the learning and as "ell as their study habits. *t has a big #actor o# a student2s learning the involvement o# their parents in their learning process. 'henever the parents get involved in the study3li#e o# their children, there "as a great #actor that urges the child to learn and be interested in schooling. *n this "ay the child "ill #eel supported in any "ay as much as he can do #or his studying. *# the parents "ill al"ays be there to urge their children in their study habit, then the child "ill respond to it positively. Thus, having the parents2 child al"ays on their side "ill have the tendency #or a child to al"ays lean onto their parents every time and not standing anymore on their o"n. So, the advantages and the disadvantages o# this #actor revealed. urthermore, the socio3economic status can also a##ect the study habit o# the learner. *n #act, this #actor places a big challenge to the learners because this sho"s their social strati#ication "hether they belong to the upper, middle, or lo"er class. *t can a##ect to their study habits #or some time they can2t continue their studying
because tae this eample, i# they don2t have an electricity in their place, they can2t study their lessons especially during night time, so it really hinders to their learning. nother thing is #inancial, "hen this aspect "ill be opened, everyone #elt do"n. They "ill come to thin to a point that because o# this #inancial problem they can2t continue to buy the necessary things needed #or school and so there "ere no reason #or them to study since they don2t have the materials to be used. *n this case, the level o# their interest in learning decreases. ccording to the -rinciples o# Teaching 1 boo, the teacher serves as the primary mover o# the educational "heel "hile the learners are the ey participants in the learning process. The teacher is the role model, the manager, the counsellor, leader, parent surrogate, #acilitator, instructor, and a lot more. The students "ill learn best also depends on the ind o# teacher do they have. The teacher has the greatest #actor in the learning process and so his attitudes or personality in approaching the students a##ect on them as "ell. *n addition, aare (197) opines that intelligence accounts #or little variance in academic per#ormance. There#ore, more emphasis had shi#ted #rom intellectual #actors to non M intellectual #actors such as some personality variables lie sel# concept and study habit.
ased on the #indings o# %this (199), e##ective study sills usually come do"n to t"o #actorsI motivation and style.
Fotivation is the enthusiasm o# a person to do something. >earning style is the method used by a certain student$person to study much easier and more e##iciently. These t"o #actors also have a role to play in the learning process o# a student. Fotivation serves as the #uel that eeps the child moving on their studying and learning process. ecause o# this, aside #rom gaining incentives, they also gain no"ledge. 'hile the learning styles o# the student "ill also help him upon learning #or it gives him a reason to learn the things in the "ay he "ill learn. There "ill be no pressure #or a child to understand things i# only he "ill learn everything through the "ay he "anted to, #or instance, i# the student is a visual learner, then he can study the lesson through seeing it "ith the eyes or "atching videos that contained related topics to the lesson presented. *# a student is an audio learner he can learn his lesson through listening to it attentively or let the other person discuss to him the topic or lesson taled about by the teacher. >astly, i# a student is a inaesthetic learner, he can learn his lessons through doing it on his o"n #or eample in a laboratory session. ;ence, learning sills re#er to the sills that mae learning possible.

Some students o#ten complain about mental inability or strain or lac o# interest in studies. %ther thins they are not capable. *n some cases, ielden (0B) stated that good study habits help the student in critical re#lection in sills outcomes such as selecting, analyzing, criti.

'hile in 5umayag2s (09) point o# vie", 4the e##ective study sills are associated "ith positive outcomes across multiple academic content areas and #or diverse learners. This is to describe an in#ormation3processing perspective on the contribution o# study sills to academic competence, and to identi#y evidence3based strategies that are e##ective in helping students to improve their study sills. Study habit, sill, and attitude inventories and constructs "ere #ound to rival standardized tests and previous grades as predictors o# academic per#ormance, yielding substantial incremental validity in predicting academic per#ormance. cademic speci#ic aniety "as #ound to be an important negative predictor o# per#ormance. %verall, study habit and sill measures improve prediction o# academic per#ormance, more than any other non cognitive individual di##erence variable eamined to date and should be regarded as the third pillar o# academic success. The substantive aim o# the study "as to eamine the e##ect o# study habit on students. *n #act, the "ebsite in ho"3to3study.com (09) recommended some tips in improving study habits and suggested that the student should try not to study all the sub+ects in +ust a period. *t also added that i# you try to do too much studying at one time, you "ill tire and your studying "ill not be very e##ective.

S. Jd"ards (0?) said that learning to study is lie learning to ride a bie3 once you get it you have the sills #or li#e. Feaning that in steps to learning there are bumps and bruises along the "ay because the process o# learning is sometimes pain#ul. *n addition to that learners "ho ecel in school is not an eemption in creating a good study habit because learning is a li#etime process, it does not stop. Foreover study habit is important to all learners to per#orm "ell in school. There are many #actors to be considered in discussing the reasons behind the #ormed study habit o# the learners especially in the adolescent period. This is the
stage "here critical period begin "hen they "anted to go out under the custody o# their parents. *n such it is important to consider the parental involvement o# the parents and its in#luence to the learners. The #amily monthly income is also one #actor to be considered because no" a day there is no such thing as #ree. This means that you don2t get something "ithout anything or "ithout money. *n addition, it doesn2t mean that students that are enrolled in a public school are absolutely #ree #rom any epenses. side #rom the pro+ects and assignment it cannot be missed at school that there are biological needs o# a man to be #eed. *n one "ay or another, everybody "ill spend an ample amount #or the desired learning. >earners2 academic per#ormance must be considered also because it is interrelated to students2 study habit. ;o"ever, one o# the important considerations is the attitude o# students to"ards studies and these #actors serve as a stimulus in motivating them to do certain responses depending on ho" they perceive the actions o# the mentioned #actors. The development o# positive attitude to"ards studies must be considered seriously by both parents and teachers. Their actions are important in motivating the learners2 per#ormance to"ards their study habit. Time .anagement
Time management can be also the #actor that can a##ect the study habit o# the student #or the reason that a one2s study habit is also connected "ith ho" a student manage his time in accordance to its desired study time. Time management has been described using many di##erent terms including spontaneity, balance, #leibility, and having control over time (>aein, 197:). Time management has also been characterized as a habit developed only through determination and practice
(Simpson,1978), as prioritizing and respecting those priorities, setting priorities and scheduling tass (!ordan et al., 1989). Time management can also be considered as the process, by "hich an individual is more e##ectively accomplishes tass and goals (Schuler,1979), a process by "hich an individual obtains control over the timing and the content o# "hat he$she does and as "hat can be accomplished "ith time (%nacen & 'ass, 198). *n order to utilize time e##ectively, individuals must #irst be able to predict or plan ho" much time is needed #or the activity (=elly, 00). n individual "ill become e##ective in using their time only "hen the individual clearly no"s "hat they "ant to do, "hat they need to do, and #or "hich speci#ic target date (Soucie, 198?). *ndividuals need to become more disciplined in their use o# time by respecting their established priorities "hile minimizing distractions #rom others as "ell as #rom situations that have the ability to displace priorities in terms o# time and energy (Soucie, 198?).
ccording to /rutsinger (199B), time management involves determining "hat one should do by setting goals, deciding "hich events are the most important and realizing that other activities "ill have to be scheduled around them (prioritizing), maing decisions about ho" much time to allo" #or certain tass (time estimation), ad+usting to the unepected (problem solving), reconsidering goals and priorities on a regular basis (evaluation), and observing patterns and trends in behavior. Fanages your time can help you study your lesson in a desired time and doing it every time can be a habit #or everyone2s study habit. Study Techni0ues
Study techni
The >earning style o# a student contributes to its study habit #ormation because there are #actors that their learning styles in#luences their "ay o# studying. 5i##erent theorists and educationists have de#ined learning styles in their o"n "ay. They believe that this is an important concept to be studied. The concept o# style helps to understand ho" the learners are same "ith each other, and ho" they di##er in terms o# learning. There are three basic types o# learning styles, the three most common are visual, auditory, and inesthetic. To learn, "e depend on our senses to process the in#ormation around us. Fost people tend to use one o# their senses more than the others. ;o"ever, Some theorists or practitioners eplained that the learning styles sho" ho" one particular individual "ill react to a speci#ic situation and ho" he or she "ill behave in a uni
1998). Thus, learning styles are taen as stable individual pre#erences #or receiving and processing in#ormation by many o# the theorists. >earning styles are the di##erent approaches and "ays o# learning. irst, the Kisual >earners, they learn through seeing. These learners need to see the teacher6s body language and #acial epression to #ully understand the content o# a lesson. They tend to pre#er sitting at the #ront o# the classroom to avoid visual obstructions (e.g. people6s heads). They may thin in pictures and learn best #rom visual displays includingI diagrams, illustrated tet boos, overhead transparencies, videos, #lipcharts and hand3outs. 5uring a lecture or classroom discussion, visual learners o#ten pre#er to tae detailed notes to absorb the in#ormation. Second, the uditory >earner, they learn through listening. They learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, taling things through and listening to "hat others have to say. uditory learners interpret the underlying meanings o# speech through listening to tone o# voice, pitch, speed and other nuances. 'ritten in#ormation may have little meaning until it is heard. These learners o#ten bene#it #rom reading tet aloud and using a tape recorder. >astly, the Tactile or the =inesthetic >earners, they learn through moving, doing and touching. Tactile$=inesthetic persons learn best through a hands3 on approach, actively eploring the physical "orld around them. They may #ind it hard to sit still #or long periods and may become distracted by their need #or activity and eploration.
Parental $n/ol/ement
-arental involvement is needed in adolescent stage in monitoring the per#ormance o# their students at school and in home. -arental involvement is the number one reason o# the student2s motivation and i# student "ill see that their parents pay less attention in their academic per#ormance a usual response o# the student is an attitude o# procrastination. ccording to the 1 st stage o# Jri Jrison2s theory the parents are the basic source or #oundation o# trust an individual can create to his$her environment. -arent involvement in school is needed because according to the study o# /havin et.al. (199:) that parent involvement M or school and #amily connections M is a component o# e##ective schools that deserves special consideration because it contributes to success#ul #amily environments and more success#ul students. *n addition parental involvement are the stimuli that serves so as student "ill avoid procrastination and contributes to e##icient time management, learning sills and study techni

Teachers Personality
-ersonality #actor o# values and #eelings according to the study o# Aatalie @asmussen (0?) is concerned "ith the a##ective domain that includes maintaining
a positive attitude, believing one has control over "hat happens to onesel# in school, and e##ectively managing stress and aniety. This #actor is important in the part o# the teacher since teachers are the second parent o# the students in school. *n such maintaining a positive attitude "ill become a motivation to the students to learn "ell. urthermore the statement believing one has control over "hat "ill be going to happen means that the teacher can in#luence the behaviour o# their student and thus result into a positive response that "ill not cause stress and aniety to everyone. Teachers are in#luencing #actor to students study habit through motivation and encouragement. The study #ocuses on the #actors that a##ect the study habit o# the students. *n line "ith this, the researchers "ould lie to no" the e##ect o# the study habit to their academic per#ormances. Sills or study strategies are approaches applied to learning. ;uman beings constantly in one learning process a#ter the other and it is there#ore important to be understand that "hat might "or #or others do not necessarily have to "or #or others as "ell. ;o"ever, it is still important that students should be consistent along "ith their studies. ccording to the theories o# study habits, there are broadly t"o types o# students. The #irst category is o# the students "ho study #or a shorter duration, have a good concentration and are able to get good scores "ithout much e##ort. The second category includes students "ho have a rather poor concentration, and need a lot o# hard "or to get good scores. 'ith a regular study habit you "ill #ind that the child "ill study at a time that it is deemed normal to study.
To conclude, study habits may vary #rom student to student perspective because not everyone achieve the style o# learning process lie "hat other can achieve #or their selves.
