CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

Introduction
Going to school everyday is what usually every kids does. Usually the reason of
going to school is to learn things. But when we are in school, we really think about our
grades, not the things that we actually learned. And because everyone wants a high grade,
everyone has his or her own study habits. Study habits are the things that we usually do to
improve our performance in school. It usually includes memorizing, reading, advancing
our knowledge in some lessons and etc. We usually apply this study habits if there are
some upcoming quizzes, recitations, exams, etc.

Good study habits mean good performance and theres a chance to be an achiever
more likely to be the first honor of that particular batch. Poor study habits leads to poor
performance in academics and he or she might fail on exams. Those who have good study
habits are the ones who are successful in life because of their high grades. While those
who have bad study habits are the ones who would struggle just to survive in their
everyday lives.
But nowadays, many students dont have time anymore to study because they
always hang-out with their friends or they were already addicted to computer games, to
their cellphones, tables, and some other stuffs that technology offers to the world.

The problem is how can we promote a good study habit to students having this
kind of life style? How can we improve their poor study habits? This research is needed
to be studied because it could really improve the study habits of every third year high
school students of Eastern Visayas State University.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to promote, improve, and practice good study habits to the third
year high school students of Eastern Visayas State University SLS Department,
specifically it seeks to answer the following:

What is the profile of the students that we target to survey in terms of:
Age
Status of their family
Monthly income of parents
Hobbies
Number of friends
Daily allowance
How do the students manage their time to study?
How often do they study?
What are the things that distract the students while they are studying?

Scope and Delimitation

This study only focuses on the improvement of the study habits of the third year
high school students of EVSU-SLS only. This shall not involve any year levels from
the same school or other students outside the school grounds in performing the survey

to the students. The survey shall be official if and only if the real researchers without
any consent of any student, teacher, or staff of the school.

Significance of the Study

This study is important because it could really help students in their studies. This
could also benefit the school in terms of having a good reputation, and can get to a
higher rank in terms of the quality of the education that they can giveto the students.
This can also benefit the teachers in terms of avoiding too much stress just to make
the students understand and learn the lessons everyday. This can also benefit the
parents of the students in terms of not thinking too much about the progress of their
child in school. It could also benefit the community. Having a good batch of students
in a community can really help them when this students graduated and finished their
studies. This study can be a real great help to the near future.
