...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING Introduction Learning can be immensely gratifying, but studying usually involves hard work. The primary step towards effective study habits is to face up to this reality. One need not feel guilty if one doesn’t look forward to studying. Once an individual accepts the premise that studying doesn’t come naturally, it should be apparent that one needs to set up an organized program to promote adequate study. Learning how to study is really a long-term process. As one goes on studying, one finds more techniques and methods that offer new information leading one on an interesting and successful direction. So, learning how to study or to develop good study habits is a lifelong process, and one should be ready to modify one’s method of study according to the need of the time. The development of good study habits is the highway to the goals of an individual, whatever they are. A simple, small change in study habits makes a big difference in goal setting and organization of one’s life. The success of an individual depends upon his study habits. Education is the manifestation of perfection already existing in man. The tool enabling this manifestation is study habits. In order to improve the quality of education we must develop certain innovative strategies, which will enhance the educational standards. In addition to that from the student’s side there must be some important steps, which form the basis for their academic achievement. Students’ needs...

...Chapter 1 The Problem and Its Background This chapter is the preface about our problem, the relationship between extent of computer technology usage and study habit of students from Rogationist College and the its background. Introduction Nowadays, technology became an inseparable part of our lives. It now rules the life of an average student and in the field of education in any corner of the world. It has taken over the field of education. Its influence has been taken across the world in every possible way. According to Charlie S. (2012) “Computer has been taking big parts of our lives, in different sectors such as medicine, architecture, communication, research, sports and education. But it greatly affects the sector of education, especially the students”. In this world of competition, the students should have to be educated. Everything is not taught by a teacher or in school. In facing big challenges in life, students take extra learning through technology/computers. These computers can be used for their personal or recreational activities such as listening to music, watching movies or videos, chatting, browsing, playing games and etc. We can also express our feelings through it, through social networking sites. Furthermore, the work of the students became easier in searching information they want to learn. Technology has been part of our lives like language, ritual values, arts and more. It also affects our ways of thinking that can contribute to a more progressive...

...Moreover, it is an assessment on both part of the student on how much they have learned from a subject, and for the instructor, if he or she has been effective in educating and imparting knowledge in his or her students. Students, regardless of their busy and hectic schedules, must take time in studying their notes, books, and other items related to their subject as their preparation for taking examinations, may it be in the preliminary, midterm, or finals. In order to do that, one must have good study habits and effective time management to avoid failing an examination. But, in some instances, most of the students, except for those who really have good study habits and follow effective time management, end up practicing last minute studying or most commonly known as “cramming”. Cramming before examinations has been the usual scenario observed and seen in most students, as their resort when they’re running out of choices, especially when they fail to practice good study habits and effective time management. This study technique, also known as mugging or swotting, is the practice of working intensively to absorb large volumes of information material in short duration of time. This method, as observed, drains...

...SWOT Personal SWOT Analysis Christine A. Hawkins Western Governors University Reflection on Seven Habits Profile The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is based on principles that provide insight in to one’s own personal and professional challenges. The 7 Habits profile is a self-assessment tool to gauge ones dependence to independence and provide opportunity for movement towards interdependence. I was intrigued when I saw the result of my personal Seven Habits profile to see the following strengths, which are listed as Covey’s first tier towards independence among highly effective people. * Proactive – I often see the end in mind when situations arise and take initiative to identify methods for resolution or implement initiatives to the situation. If one approach does not work, a different approach will be utilized. My personal belief is that I set my own path and am responsible for the success or non-success of that path. When challenges or problem arise both personally and professionally, I have found that being reactive does not resolve the challenge. When these situations arise, I proactively identify what I can do better. * Begin with the end in mind – I am very strong at beginning with the end in mind in almost all situations. I will visually identify the path from beginning to end and recognize consequences or obstacles that may arise along the way. Having this strength has enabled me to prepare and be proactive when handling challenging circumstances...

Goals……………………………………………………….....9 Conclusion……………………………………………………………………..10 References……………………………………………………………………..11 Overview While the most successful leaders will utilize practices from several different leadership theories, my leadership style is most in tandem with the Transformational Theory of Leadership. Transformational leaders are positive thinkers, motivators and foster moral awareness in their followers. According to Stephen Covey (Covey,1989) in “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” people, especially leaders should look from the inside out and manage themselves before managing others. Since transformational leaders inspire, motivate and stimulate their followers, it is important for the leader to have self-awareness and insight into who he or she is and why they are the way they are. The 7 Habits of highly Effective People According to Stephen Covey, The 7 habits of highly effective people are (Daft, 2014): 1. Be proactive 2. Begin with the end in mind 3. Put first things first 4. Think win-win 5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood 6. Synergize & 7. Sharpen the Saw The first three habits make up what Covey calls the...

...educational process are to bring about the best in the Individual. The basic problem today in education is the problem of motivating the students to learn at all levels. The tremendous explosion of knowledge makes it impossible for anyone to keep himself abreast of times even in one’s own sphere of knowledge, unless he develops the habit of careful and well planned study any educational evidences raised on foundations of lacking breath and depth of knowledge becomes unfounded and unsteady. The process of learning is influenced by a variety of personal factors such as sensation and perception, fatigue attention, age study habits, self perception, attention, Intelligence, attitude etc. Study habit serve as the vehicle of learning and self perception is a key factor in learning, or major production of education, nor that it exerts an all pervading influence in human behavior. The construct of the self-perception is now considered to be a major outcome of Education, childhood, socialization and child rearing practices as well as influencing consequent response to those influences (Burns 1982). Azikiwe (1998) describes the study habit as “the adopted way and manner a student plans his private readings, after classroom...
