...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...

...The Negative Effects of Tuition Fee Increase to the Academic Performance of First Year Students of the University of Mindanao GROUP 6 Setting Problem The Problem And Its Setting Tuition fees are fees charged for instruction during higher education. Tuition payments are charged by educational institutions in some countries to have funding on school equipment, staffs, teachers, and facilities to provide a comfortable learning experience. In some countries there are no or only nominal amount of tuition fees in all forms of education, including Universities and higher education institutions. In a country like the Philippines tuition fee is a very sensitive thing for every Filipino once it increases a wave of reaction follows. It’s no surprise since the country is still in developing state and probably millions still under the poverty line defining the economic status of every Filipino. When we have a closer look of the problem you probably see the reality in which it affects as much as tuition fee is concerned, the academic performance of students. Students who choose to stay in school may have to work longer hours at more demanding jobs to cover their expenses. This can interfere with academic performance. A 2002 study by the State Public Interest Research Group's Higher Education Project found that working full-time can harm grades. Forty-two percent of survey respondents reported that working hurt their academic progress, and 53 percent reported...

...Operationalizing Values and Value Systems in National Agricultural Research System N.H. Rao National Academy of Agricultural Research Management Rajendranagar Hyderabad 500 030 Abstract Value systems serve as frames of reference for behavioural responses at both individual and organizational levels. Institutions in which the organizational culture is highly evolved have invested in developing strong internal value systems to resolve ethical dilemmas and value conflicts, and ensure high performance, quality, social responsibility and employee professional satisfaction. Such investments contribute to both individual and organizational development and growth. There is a need to develop a viable organizational culture in institutions of the National Agricultural Research System (NARS). This paper is concerned with how strong-willed and disciplined research and education managers, scientists and teachers can contribute to the development and operationalization of strong internal value systems in NARS. Three kinds of situations, where value conflicts can arise are identified. These relate to individual identity, identifying with the group in the work place, and organizational identity in society. By learning to identify each kind of value conflict situation, individuals can learn to resolve value conflicts in a practical way by a combination of self-inquiry and introspection with shrewedness and realism. The extent to which an individual can do this, without...

...INTRODUCTION This study is divided into several chapters. The beginning chapter presents a detailed background of the study conducted among a group of secondary schools pupils in The Netherlands. The study focuses on new Media and whether its’ usage has any effect on academic performance. This is explored from the context of HAVO Dutch youths in Rotterdam aged 14-16 years in two schools; Calvijn and Comenius colleges particularly from their peer solidarity and socialization processes. HAVO is one of the four streams of secondary education in Holland referred to as Senior general secondary education (HAVO). The stream takes five years and qualifies students to enter higher vocational education (HBO). Some students can also choose to enter pre-university secondary education VWO or MBO education (Dutch Education Journal, 2007). The analysis is based on both qualitative and quantitative findings from Focus Group Discussions (FDGs), structured and semistructured interviews, drawings, observations and questionnaires. This study considers both the advantages and disadvantages of youth engagement in new media. The study also attempt to contribute to the wider development discourses in the field of children and youth. The conclusion for this book highlights how new media has played a role in the youth cultures in structuring their peer relationships. Throughout the study, pseudo names are used for ethical reasons.

...(GTU) will be conducted on a semester basis with four semesters spread over two academic years. The duration of each semester will be around 15 weeks. In each semester there will be seven courses/subjects. In the first year all the 14 courses are compulsory. In the second year there will be three types of courses, namely, compulsory, electives and sectorial specialisation. The MBA programme will have four electives, namely, Marketing, Finance, Human Resource and Information Systems. A student can choose any one of the four electives. There will be five sectorial specialization areas, namely, Retail, Pharmaceutical and Healthcare, Rural and Cooperatives, Public Systems and Policy, and Banking and Insurance. A candidate has to opt for one of the sectorial areas. In each semester of the second year there will be three compulsory courses, three electives and one sectorial course, thus making a total of six compulsory courses, six elective courses and two sectorial courses in the second year. Once a student opts for a particular elective and sectorial course in semester III, he/she will continue the same in semester IV. The institution conducting the programme can either offer all the electives and sectorial options or the minimum requirement of two for each. The institution is free to drop an elective or sectorial option in case...

...“organizations came into being to implement the decisions of government: initially to collect taxes, but increasingly to order and regulate society through laws and the application of various rules” (Tushman & Romanelli, 1985). Again, these organizations were characterized by hierarchy of authority and a requirement to comply with its exercise. These models for the large-scale organization of people for a purpose were, with a few exceptions, followed by business organizations as they developed in the Middle Ages and, through industrialization, came to dominate work in society. The study of organizations emerged from what some would call today sociology (Knorr, 1997). This owed its origins to philosophers turning their attention to the way in which whole societies function and, in due course, to the study also of the social constructions which are created in them. Knorr believed that the first studies of organization sought, in the fashion of the time, to identify the essential processes at work in all organizations and to encapsulate these in principles which could be beneficially applied to all organizations. This was the approach of 'scientific management 'and, since the organizations at the time all mirrored the military-public administration model, it was not...
