Abstract

The topic of good study habits is one that has been extensively researched and discussed among educators, psychologists, and students themselves. It is widely acknowledged that the ability to learn and retain new information, as well as the capacity to perceive and understand complex concepts, is greatly enhanced by the adoption of effective study habits. Given the significant role that study habits play in academic success and personal development, it is important to examine the relationship between these habits and student performance. In this study, a sample of 40 first year BPED students from the Bataan Peninsula State University was selected to explore this relationship. To investigate the relationship between study practices and academic achievement, the researchers utilized the Pearson r correlation coefficient. This statistical method is commonly used to examine the degree of correlation between two variables, in this case, study practices and academic performance. The findings of the study revealed a clear correlation between students' study habits and their academic performance. This indicates that those students who adopt effective study habits are more likely to perform better academically. This correlation can be attributed to the fact that good study habits enable students to retain information more effectively, manage their time efficiently, and approach complex concepts with greater clarity and understanding.
