Abstract
The study investigates the nexus between study habits and academic performance among College of Health Biology students at the University of Cagayan Valley Tuguegarao. Recognizing the pivotal role of study habits in academic achievement—encompassing reading ability, notetaking, motivation, memorization, test preparation, and time management—the research adopts a descriptive-correlation approach. The Palsane and Sharma Study Habits Inventory (PSSHI) is employed to evaluate and gauge students' study habits.Data analysis focuses on undergraduates enrolled during the academic year 2022-2023, aiming to assess their academic performance levels. Results indicate that students generally exhibit average study habits, with discernible areas for improvement. However, the study fails to establish a significant correlation between these study habits and academic performance, contrary to initial expectations.The findings spotlight the imperative for targeted interventions aimed at elevating and refining study habits among College of Health Biology students. Although no direct correlation was found, the identification of specific areas within study habits that require enhancement presents an opportunity for tailored interventions. By implementing strategies to bolster these identified facets, the overarching aim is to positively impact academic outcomes among students.Be The research underscores the complexity inherent in the relationship between study habits and academic performance, emphasizing the necessity for multifaceted approaches to enhance academic success. Consequently, interventions designed to refine study habits can potentially contribute to broader improvements in overall academic achievements among the student body.
