Bucol Introduction When students earn a below average delay off on a test or a report card, it does not necessarily mean that they did not breeding hard enough. There are umteen intelligent children who do not perform well in school, not because they cannot comprehend class agency lessons, but because of external factors that affect their academic success Waking up early for school has recently been acknowledge as a reason why students are not execute to the best of their ability.Sleepy students are less likely to pay attention to their teachers. make an article in 2006, which discusses a study regarding the start time. Across the country, schools on average begin around 730AM. However, the study, led by a CAD. IT teachers, discovered that students perform better later in the day for biological reasons. The article states that specific high school s that started later saw an improvement in their students academic achievement simply because they were able to wake up later. The accomplishment of students learning in academics may bedetermined by the grades a student earns for a period of learning has beendone.It is believed that a grade is a primary indicator of such learning. If alearner earns high grades it is concluded that they may too have learned alot while low grades indicate lesser learning. However, many experiences and studies found go forth that there are also several factors that would visor for the grades. No single factor can be definitely pointed out as predicting grades. It has been an interplay of so many factors gender, IQ, study habits, age, stratumlevel, parents educational attainment, social status, number of siblings, birthorder, etc.In fact, almost all of existing environmental and personal factorsare a variable of academic performance. However, at this point in time, theresearchers would like to in vestigate the possible relationship of study habitsand the factors affecting it to the academic achievement of under graduate. Theinvestigation of on this area thus becomes a factual and compelling motivationfor the researchers to conduct this study. Statement of the Problem This study intended to reckon out the factors affecting the study habits ofundergraduate CAD. IT students.It also aimed to root the following(a) questions 1) What is the profile of the respondents according to 1. 1 Time management 1. 2 tuition Skills 1. 3 Study Skills 2) What extent of influence did the independent variables have on studentstudy habits? 3) Did the independent variables significantly influence students studyhabits? Recommendation The researchers believes that students, particularly CAD. IT depart be benefited from the findings of this study since the study provides basis for awareness and better accord of how their underway study habits affected their academic performance.Likewise gives t hem a morefocused and clear perspective on how the specific behaviours related totheir studies influenced study habits. Consequently, this awareness alsogives a much deeper understanding of their selves as students consideringthat the college life is typically beset of developmental adjustment demands. work administrators-like area area coordinators, may also beguided in the formulation of prox modification of educational policies,curriculum and strategies toward a more effective delivery of learning. Teachers- testament also be second in understanding better the mixture oflearning of their students.As such, it is hoped that they could develop more effective methodologies in teaching their subject matter. Guidance and Counselling Centre- go away also be help by this studythrough providing a more focused and factual knowledge on the factorsaffecting students study habits. This increase the understanding of theGuidance Counsellors on the interplay of the variables studied in thi sresearch. Such knowledge is hoped to help the Guidance and Counselling practitioners towards the development and implementation of more effective programs in consideration of these variables. Research SettingsThe study will be conducted inside the estimator aided design and information technology (CAD. IT) Data Gathering The researchers will ask permission from the administration office to allow the student to answer the questionnaire. The answering of the questionnaire will be done in the CAD. IT intitution. Answered questionaires accordingly, will be gather, responses coded andwill be subject to the appropriate statistical computation for reliability. These students name will then be deleted from the list of the total population so asnot to entangle them again in the selection of the sample population.Instruments Use Self- developed questionnaire composed of 10 items questions will be use to measure Study Habits of CAD. IT Students. mountain Questionnaire on Study Habits Nam e_______________________ Course Year______________Age______Gender_______Date________________ Direction Please put check (v) on the space that corresponds to what youare actually doing, thinking, and feeling regarding the statement.
