...are the four categories of learning preferences. The online VARK questionnaire is free and consists of 16 questions that are based on real-life situations that users can easily answer and relate to. Users are able to check more than one answer to each question if more than one answer applies to them. After finishing the questions, the user is provided with a score in each of the 4 categories. If a person scores high in more than one area they are considered multi modal and are flexible in their learning styles (VARK, n.d.). The website then provides several study strategies for each learning preference that users can implement to improve their learning. The website cautions that “The results indicate a 'rule of thumb' and should not be rigidly applied. Remember that the questionnaire is not intended to 'box' respondents into a mindset that they have been 'diagnosed'. Rather, it is designed to initiate discussion about, and reflection upon, learning preferences” (VARK, n.d.) The author of this paper completed the online questionnaire and discovered that she has a strong read/write learning preference. The VARK website states that “people who prefer this modality are often addicted to PowerPoint, the Internet, lists, diaries, dictionaries, thesauri, quotations and words, words, words“(VARK, n.d.) which is a fair assessment of the author. VARK provided several ways to incorporate...

...THE STUDY HABITS OF UNIVESITY FRESHMEN Researchers: Marina Clarisse A. Ballesteros Aevon P. Chua Mary Angeline M. Gonzales Bea Margarita M. Gumatay I. INTRODUCTION Education is not merely about studying, hence in fact that study habits directly reflects one’s self-learning ability and the lecture’s effectiveness therefore it is significant to comprehend or find out the habits of students in able to effectiely adjust oneslf and thus improve to the furthest possible and effective learning. People always have that impression that studying is directly only about reviewing after classes and before examinations. Nevertheless learnings, interpretations, interactions, assignments, lectures, discussions, or forums are of course parts of Studying and must immensely take part in the study habits of the student hence it seems that students used to forget the essence of the word. However students have unique and diverse methods of studying nowadays compared to the ancients, which they used to diversed study methods like memorization and recitation of the works or literatures of the previous significant scholars or intellecutals. As innovation goes through and globalization or westernization happens, students learned how to exploit every available resources surrounding them. Listening to music, surfing the internet, lying on the bed, and doodling while reviewing (Hill,1997). All students have different independent minds and ways of thinking which result into different kinds...

...Chapter I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Our character is a collection of our habits, and habits have a powerful role in our lives. Habits consist of knowledge, skill, and desire. Knowledge allows us to know what to do, skill gives us the ability to know how to do it, and desire is the motivation to do a certaintask (Covey, 1990). Habits are routines of behaviour that are repeated regularly and tend to occur subconsciously. Habitual behaviour often goes unnoticed in persons exhibiting it, because a person does not need to engage in self-analysis when undertaking routine tasks. Study skills include how a person studies, as well as the particular resources a person uses. They are intentional use of one or more cognitive processes to accomplish a particular task. Good study skills include note-taking, reading, summarizing, organizing, identifying important information, and meaningful learning and elaboration (Ormrod, 2008).They are generally critical to success in school, are considered essential for acquiring good grades, and are useful for learning throughout one's life. Study skills are the methods of researching and learning that are used to absorb educational information. It has been widely accepted in modern times that college is a time to learn, experiment, and grow. Academic performance is the commonly used gauge with which to determine whether or not a student has indeed learned what he has been taught. It is the ability of the student to apply academic...
