Assesment of Study Habits of Grade 11 Students of HE Class

This document summarizes a study that assessed the study habits of grade 11 students in a Home Economics class. The study had several objectives: 1) To identify the students' learning style preferences, 2) To assess the study habits of the grade 11 students, 3) To describe the academic performance levels of the students, 4) To determine if there were significant differences in learning styles, study habits, and performance based on student characteristics, and 5) To determine the relationship between learning styles, study habits, and academic performance. The study aimed to provide insight into how students learn best in order to help them improve their study skills and school achievement.

Assesment of Study Habits of Grade 11 Students of HE Class

Introduction

The key to becoming an effective student is learning how to study smarter, not harder.
This becomes more and more true as you advance in your education. An hour or two of
studying a day is usually sufficient to make it through high school with satisfactory
grades, but when college arrives, there aren't enough hours in the day to get all your
studying in if you don't know how to study smarter.

While some students are able to breeze through school with minimal effort, this is the
exception. The vast majority of successful students achieve their success by developing
and applying effective study habits.

Mark and Howard (2009) are of the opinion that the most common challenge to the success of
students in all ramifications is a lack of effective or positive (good) study habit. They further
maintain that if students can develop a good study habit and with good discipline, they are bound
to perform remarkably well in their academic pursuit.

Background of the study

With diminishing finances, it is rarely possible for a library or information center to have enough
resources to fulfill the needs of its clients. What is being delivered is only a portion of what their
clients actually need (Ramos & Mohd Ali, 2005). Collaboration is widely recognized as the best
way for libraries to cope with the ever increasing challenges: volume of information resources;
nature and quality of information; user needs and expectations; information and communication
technology competencies and infrastructure; inflated cost of information resources; and staffing
needs. However, although these challenges have continued to prevail, libraries working under
collaborative initiatives like the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois
(CARLI) have registered tremendous success. This thesis reports the findings of a thorough
study to establish the factors that have led to the success of CARLI and how such success factors
can be applied in libraries of developing countries like Uganda. Emphasis is placed on the
establishment of CARLI leadership, the sharing of responsibility and decision making processes
as well as sources of funding for the consortium. Also central to the research study is exploration
of the role and responsibility of participating member libraries and their contributions to and
expectations from the consortium. I contend that lack of funding to facilitate consortium
activities is not the central factor in the failed progress of the planned consortium activities in
Uganda, rather it is the lack of committed leadership and cooperation among participating
libraries that is responsible for the lack of progress. In any kind of organization or cooperation
like a library consortium, funding has never been enough due to ever changing technologies and
continuous demands from library patrons. However, good leadership and cooperation among
membership plays a bigger role in achieving a common goal. Having and working towards a
common goal, under dedicated, dynamic and faithful leadership with an active and energetic
membership plays a great role in the success of a consortium. 2 To assist in the possible
improvement of consortium operations in Uganda, I need to understand the leadership,
responsibility, staffing, collection, policies and procedures, funding and structure of academic
libraries in the participating membership of CARLI in comparison with those of Uganda. My
research has incorporated interviews with CARLI staff and a questionnaire survey to all the
participating CARLI membership.

Background of the Study

The study generally endeavored to assess the perceptual learning styles of Grade 11 students
enrolled in Home Econimis class of Leganes National High School. Therefore, this research
paper is sought to address the following research objectives: Firstly, identify the learning style
preferences of students; secondly, assess the study habits of the Grade 11 students; thirdly,
describe the level of academic performance of respondents; fourthly, test the significant
differences on the learning styles, study habits and academic performance when grouped
according to their profile variables, and lastly, determine the relationship among the learning
styles, study habits and academic performance of the respondents.
