...hone their skills and develop their ability to its maximum potential. Researchers acknowledge the growing recognition that today’s students in higher education are confronted with more demands and pressures (Pabiton, 2007). Likewise, Neville, Happner & Wang (1997), noted that most students, University/College life is usually considered a time when young adults struggle with newly found freedom and deal with developmental tasks of interpersonal relationships as well as academic concerns Attending college is indeed a preparation to the actual work that one must experience. It is a journey that young people need to undertake in order to be ready to face the challenges of life. It is one of the developmental tasks that they must overcome successfully; hence to be successful in this area will lead them to series of success in life.

...developmental tasks that they must overcome successfully. Education and multiple skills enhancement have become the principal vehicles in the creation of sustainable advantage in the competitive world market. Poor academic performance has been implicated as one of the major factors for adolescents to have poor self-esteem (Call et al, 1990, cited by Isaac et al., 2006). These individuals do not have the passion and motivation to persevere in their studies. They could not see what lies ahead and what they will be expected to do when they reach their next stage of development. Consequently, they are confused academically and hoping to have a guide who will help them in this moment of personal and academic struggles. Hurlock (2000) also pointed out that academic performance is one of the developmental tasks adolescents need to accomplish, successful achievement of which leads to happiness and success with later tasks, while failure leads to unhappiness and difficulty. In this connection, the researchers would tend to believe that tourism students have disadvantage when it comes to their academic preparation unless the necessary support is given by their parents and school as well. Hence, there is a need to help them adjust to the demands of their academic life to make...

LOCAL LITERATURE As a rule in the school of Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST), they recommend the student’s study habit should have at least three hours and one and a half hour out of class for every hour spent in class. The students must have a special or specific place for that study habit hour and the students should not be cramped. They presuppose that study time will go better if a learner will take a few minutes to freshen things up and they must have everything or their books maybe before they will begin. Students are not suggested to spend on time jumping up and down to get things. The Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST) also suggests that distracting noise should be minimized however they said that there are some people need sound and some like silence. In this case, a learner must find what works for him or her.

Scientific discoveries and inventions led into the development, progress and industrialization of the nation. Science plays a fundamental role in the life of an individual. It prepares the person in this changing world by equipping him the knowledge, intellectual and scientific skills and attitudes. It helps an individual to explore and explain truths producing useful models of reality of this physical world. It can also provide answers to many of our questions about thing in the environment and the observable phenomena. Science is a very practical subject that students must have to enjoy with the activities related to various lessons covered. This is indeed an area of knowledge where everyone should master, love and to learn about. But nowadays as to observation, learners are hard up in the subject. They don’t know how to make their objectives and conclusions during the activity. Some students are not interested in Science subject. Students tend to cut class during their science...

...2013, ISSN 2094 - 1749 FACTORS INFLUENCING THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN PHYSICS OF DMMMSU- MLUC LABORATORY HIGH SCHOOL FOURTH YEAR STUDENTS S.Y. 2011-2012 Noemi Mangaoang-Boado noemi2569@yahoo.com Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University Mid La Union Campus San Fernando City, 2500 La Union, Philippines ABSTRACT This study focused on the investigation on the predictors of the academic performance in Physics of Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University Mid La Union Campus (DMMMSU-MLUC) Laboratory High School Fourth Year Students for the School Year 2011-2012. Factors such as family, student, school and teacher factors were correlated to academic performance. Significant relationships to academic performance in Physics occurred for the four factors namely, Grade Point Average (GPA) in Math, GPA in English, attitude towards Physics, and study habits. The results imply that students’ performance in Physics will be higher if they perform better in English and Mathematics; if they show positive attitude towards Physics; and if they possess good study habits. Among the factors, GPA in Math had the best influence to academic performance in Physics. KEYWORDS: performance, factor, predictor INTRODUCTION Learning (represented by academic performance in this study) of students is not confined in a closed space. Different factors bombard this learning which can either enhance or undermine it. These include family factors, student-related factors, schoolrelated factors and teacher factors...

...Additional Language Study | The research reported here concerns the voluntary decision of New Zealand (NZ) students, at the end of Year 10, to continue or not to continue with their hitherto voluntary study of Japanese, commencing at the beginning of Year 9 (n = 546). This decision is taken to be a clear indication of persistence, one of three fundamental aspects of motivation, and was investigated in relation to student attitudes towards seven different dimensions of additional language (AL)* learning and certain background variables. Analyses involved the validation of an attitude scale, multivariate testing for associations between persistence, attitude factors and certain background variables, including student ethnic background. Discussion of results included the positing of a multidimensional self-determinative orientation factor, comparisons with similar studies, practical implications and limitations. | APA :http://www.jllonline.co.uk/journal/jllearn/4_1/holt.htm Baldauf, R.B. & Lawrence, H.

...importantly, how we study and how we learn. Social media has given us the ability to share ideas, feelings, and information at unbelievable speed. We can now communicate faster and wither greater efficiency with our lecturers and professors. Students can utilize social media by posting and sharing notes and lectures online, or watch a video pertaining to yesterday’s history class. Social media is not just limited to students, but many professors are now communicating with their students and peers via online. But social media is so much more. It enables students to attend lectures and classes who are half way around the world through the use of social media. It also allows professors and students to conduct meetings online. Currently, there are still many who oppose the idea of using social media as a tool for learning and studying. Regardless, many believe that technology is a vital part of today’s student success in the classroom. Many parents believe that the traditional learning styles is the way to go and that social media is just a distraction and may lead to procrastination.

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Many studies show that college students’ academic performance and study habits are related (Tope, 2011). However, most colleges and universities indicate that most student are not achieving well as expected (Disney, 2003). One cited reason is their lack of developed learning strategies or study habits. Hence, these students are affected emotionally and may not be interested in learning more due to pressures created by inefficient learning styles and habits. Study habits are actions or manners that enable students to learn independently. It may require time and management. It is an adopted way or style that a student may plan to do private readings, reflect and understand lessons to attain mastery of the subject. According to Azikiwe (as cited by Tope, 2011) good study habits are good assets to learners because it assists students to attain mastery in areas of specialization and consequent excellent performance, while opposite constitute constraints to learning and achievement leading to failure. Developing productive study habits may greatly determine students’ success in taking examinations, earning a degree and completing assignments on time. By nature, habits are regular automatic tasks. With a regular study habit, the pain and struggle of trying to motivate oneself to study can greatly reduce the amount of stress during exam time as developing self-awareness will improve effective study techniques that will work for a particular...

...procedures of study in the various school subjects. Many methods of supervised or directed study are being tried. The socialized recitation is now a part of the regular classroom routine in many high schools. By this method pupils "take an active part, in defining the problem under consideration, in securing data, in presenting these data for class criticism, and in raising questions. Classroom study is now eliminating much of the former home study, especially in the elementary and junior high schools. The purpose of this method is to train students, under the guidance of the teacher, in habits of study. Student’s academic performance occupies a vital role in education as well as in the learning process. It is a key criterion in judging one’s total potential and capacities. It is used to pass judgment on the quality of education offered by academic institutions. In fact, it is still the most topical debate in many learning institutions that caused great concern to educators and researchers. In a more recent meta-analysis, Crede and Kuncel (2008) found that non-cognitive factors like study habit, skill and study motivation, among other attitudinal constructs, accounted for incremental variance in academic performance beyond standardized tests and previous grades. Moreover, a literature review by Nagaraju (2004) pointed out that, for good academic success, good study habits and attitudes are important. Hence, it is imperative and desirable that a probe into the pattern of study habits...
