CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Rationale of the Study
Student’s academic performance occupies a very important place all over the country in education as well as in the learning process. It is considered as a key criterion to judge one’s total potentialities and capacities (Nuthana & Yenagi, 2009), which are frequently measured by the examination results. It is used to pass judgment on the quality of education offered by academic institutions.
In the Philippines, an effective, efficient and strong program for high school students that focuses on significant learning is needed to enhance their personal involvement, initiative, pervasiveness, motivation and evaluation of their own learning, habits and attitudes. In this connection, access to home resources and tutorial assistance outside the school environment are important factors that can improve students’ study habits and attitudes.
Learners must develop & establish good study habits and attitudes in doing schoolwork, which can raise their academic performance. In fact, proper study habits and attitude are the tool for acquiring deeper understanding in different subjects.
