ABSRACT
On this study the students study habits where tested, in here it
was said that if you overworked you’re mind wouldn’t function that much
and it will result to a bad study habit and bad result so you must be very
clear about what you want to accomplish during your study time to help
you focused on what you’re studying.
The extent of Behavioural Traits of grade 10 – Newton students in
terms of attitude has a mean of 2.97 and SD of 0.62 which is verbally
interpreted as Moderately High. The level of Performance of Grade 10 –
Newton students in Mathematics has a mean of 86.52, point grade
equivalent of 3.72 and standard deviation of 1.13, interpreted as High.
Based on the result on the significant effects of behavioural trait in terms of
attitude to the performance in mathematics of grade 10 students the P –
value of 0.002 is greater than to the a – value of 0.05. Therefore, there is
enough evidence to support the study that there is no significant effect on
the effect of study habit on mathematics of Grade 10 – Newton students.

CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Study habits are mostly known as doing you’re assignment at home
or library, studying at home learning and studying you’re lesson at school
or to the university that you go to. What could be the effect of study habit
on mathematics on your daily life, it could help you on your lesson and in
mathematics problem you could try and make your own solution on the
problems that are hard for you to answer to those question that might be
difficult for you to solve.
If you try to do too much studying at one time you will be tired and
your studying might not be effective, taking short breaks will restore your
mental energy and you will be ready again to study your lesson. Setting a
goal will help you stay focused and monitor your progress, you must be
very clear about what you want to accomplish during your study time to
help you focused on what you’re studying, reviewing your notes can help
you make sure you’re doing an assignment correctly also your notes might
contain information that will help you complete your assignment. Studying
once a day on mathematics will help you on counting and solving
problems that can be difficult for you to do the lessons that you might find
difficult.
Successful students have good study habit because they don’t do
much studying at one time they require breaks, they plan on what will they
study, they study lesson every day, setting specific goals for their studying
and they work on the assignments or lesson that they find the most
difficult. Doing those thing will help you get a good study habit on
mathematics and will help you study those part that are hard for you.
In this study, the research wants to know what will be the effect of
studying habits.
Background of the study
This shows that there is a positive relationship between study habit
and mathematics achievements and further indicates that the students
improve because of study habit their achievement improve. The reasons
why the students are not doing well is because of ineffective study habit
they don’t solve problems or practice mathematical problems because for
the mathematics consume time they refuse to study because they think
the consequence will only be a low achievement.
There are some difference between good and bad study habit on
mathematics, Good study habit requires your own study method or you
must use an appropriate method on studying they choose to focus on
studying the problems with their own easy method while bad study habit
only does few studying, being lazy and don’t solve any problems. They
doesn’t even practice on solving any problems, they choose to not study
those problems or solve any mathematical problems because they only
think it’s a waste of time, will get low grades or scores and wouldn’t gain
any achievements. It is believe that the student who lacks effective and
efficient means of studying and consequently have weak foundation.
Students that can’t have one goal have a bad study habit because you
only need to focus on one subject first then proceed to the next one.
There are also a number of reason like different levels of
intelligence, lack of good infrastructural facilities and lack of good libraries
and so on, but one of the reasons why the students fail is because of their
lack of effort to learn what their teacher taught them in the school and also
do not study at home because they fail to recognise the importance of
study habit to their mathematical achievement. The purpose of this is to
find out the effects of study habit on mathematics and what achievement
they could get. In this study, the researcher wants to know if the difference
between good and bad study habits.
Theoretical Framework
Study habits theory developed by Mohamed and Waheed (2011)
student performance in mathematics is consistently given attention in
different countries because it is regarded as the main subject which is
significant for the growth and development of the nation the knowledge
and skill of students in mathematics are essential in their daily lives
overcoming the difficulties that one may face.
OECD (2003) the standardized national examinations results
revealed that students performs lower than the expected level this under
achievement in mathematics is not just a problem in a few countries but
has become every nation concern in the past few years.
Dweek.C.S (1999) sated that the students believed that their ability
is fixed probably at birth and there is a very little if anything they can do to
improve it is called fixed IQ theorist. They believed ability comes from
talent rather than from the slow development of skills through learning. “It’s
all in the Genes”. Either you can do it with little effort, or you will never be
able to do it, so you might as well give up in the face of difficulty.
Conceptual framework
This conceptual framework variables which contribute to the
improvement of the performance of the grade 10 students in mathematics
are the good and bad study habits it includes studying your lesson, solving
and creating new problems, answering question that’s difficult for you to
answer, setting goals for your study and doing your assignment.
The dependent variables that serve as the basis on the performance
of grade 10 students in mathematics was their grade.
Independent Variables Dependent Variables
Student performance in
mathematics:
-Good study habits
Grade
-Bad study habits
Statement of the problem
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of study
habits on the performance in mathematics of grade 10 students
Specifically, this study seeks to answer the following question:
1. What is the extent of study habit?
2. What is the level of students performance?
3. Is there a significant effect between study habits and students
performance?
Research hypothesis
There is no significant effect between the study habits and students
performance. Such as following will benefit from the study
Significance of the Study
This study aims to present the effect of study habit of grade 10
students to their performance on mathematics. As such as following will
benefits from the study.
Math Teachers
They can provide better experience when they are teaching or having
lesson on the students they teach, share new unique equation for the
difficult problems, they will be able to teach new things to students and
help them improve on solving problems.
Students
They will learn new equation, they can learn how to solve those difficult
problems, continue to learn more and improve until they can solve those
difficult question.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Related Literature
This chapter presents the reviews of related literature and its
relevance or justification to the present study. The study habits of students
vary from one student to the other and from one place to another. It is an
important aspect of learning because students achievement in schools
depends greatly on their study habits. The low understanding level in
mathematics has become great concern for our country, parents,
educationists and government. The researchers and educationists have
made frantic efforts to find out the causes of low achievement in the
subject. In spite of all these efforts the problems still persist. The study
habits of students play a vital role in reflecting the standard of education
and the students achievement in mathematics. The students cannot be
expected to learn everything needed about the subject from their teachers
in the classroom alone, it is the combination of both the classroom learning
and out of classroom learning that make up students study habits.
The review of related literature of this study identifies how fear and
interest, together with the students study habits can affect their
performance in various subject matters, specifically, mathematics. A
student must know learning method and study habits, which help him to
achieve the goals of education. Learning through good study habits is the
key process in human behaviour. Parents and teachers always show
concern for learning of the child because learning through good study
habits influences our language, our skills, attitudes, interests and even our
goals. It is a general observation that a number of students are seen
complaining that they do not secure good marks, for this, many times the
poor study habits are to be blamed.
Related Studies
This chapter presents the reviews of related studies and its
relevance or justification to the present study. According to, Descargar,
Andrea E; Cardona, Roldan S, mathematics is a part and parcel of
everybody’s living. It has become augmenting and enriching in almost all
fields of human undertakings making it a much sought after subject to get
to grips with and learned. This holds especially true to these days where
sophistication in all aspects has taken its spot, placing mathematics as a
chief concern in the educative process.
This is further intensified by the use of electronic gadgets where
usages are mostly tied to numbers; thus demanding one’s skills in the
manipulation of numbers. This has to be; subsequently the target in
learning mathematics is to be able to get to the bottom of problems in real
life situations.
Hence, with the demands of the society in the impact of scientific
and social vicissitudes, and with the depleted performance of the students
in major subjects, it is a necessity to make every effort and cope up with
the crazes that are taking place not only for the students in the classroom
but everyone who has a hand to run into the changes. Every personage
must be effective, efficient, intelligent, creative and productive member of
the society to come across the indispensable needs for existence brought
about by many changes in scientific technology and mathematical
experiences.
Nonis and Hudson (2010) specified that, it is not only the general
ability that students bring to a class that contributes to their academic
achievement. Several studies (as cited by Hudsoon, 2010) have
investigated and found that demographic variables, such as gender, age,
and race; psychological variables, such as academic self-efficacy;
motivation; optimism; and behavioural variables, such as time
management skills, relate to student performance. What’s missing from
these surveys are the study habits or strategies that students use to learn,
such as paying attention in class, being on time, taking good notes,
completing homework in a timely manner and reading the study materials
before a lecture that are about to impact their performance.
Hadley (1992) added that, all students are adept of learning
mathematics but the leading barriers are their mistaken beliefs, prejudices,
low expectation and fallacies as regards to mathematics. In order to
enhance their mathematic skills, students must exhibit sutable study habits
that will commendably result in a great performance in mathematics.
According to Riaz et al (2002), the study habits of the students could play
pivotal role in the learning process reflected in the academic achievement
of the students in mathematics.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter present the operational method to be used in the study. It
was composed of research design, population and sampling, research
procedure, research instrument, and lastly was the statistical treatment.
Research Design
In this study the descriptive method of research is used to determine
the effect of study habit on the performance in mathematics of Grade 10.
Descriptive method was used on this study because as what Calmonn
(2003) said about descriptive method was that, it is a way that focuses on
present condition and to find the new truth about the said problem. The
fact that it can have new form such that it can be different from some other
studies, can generate new ideas on how to solve the problem and can
manipulate new form of formulation for the problem to be solve.
Respondent of the Study
The subject of the study was twenty-six (26) Grade 10 Newton
students of Missionari Della Fede having one section. Purposive non-
random sampling was used on this research in order to have respondents.
Purposive sampling is a type of non-random sampling which subjects are
selected because of the same characteristics as cited by Clarito(2014).
Research Procedure
The researcher have different title’s and asked the adviser for what
should be the best among the title presented, then, the behavioural trait
and learning styles on the performance in mathematics of Grade 10
Students was the title approved by the adviser. Next is, the researcher
analyzed the problem and create the first chapter of the research which
includes the introduction, background of the study, theoretical framework,
conceptual framework, significance of the study, scope and limitation, and
etc. The researcher also gathered data for the second chapter which is the
review of related literature and studies. Lastly, the researcher proceed to
chapter 3 that talks about the methodology to be used in the said study, it
consists of research design, research respondent, research procedure,
research instrument and statistical treatment.
Research Instrument
The researcher used questionnaire as an instrument to gather the data
for the research problem. The said questionnaire was created by the
researcher and it consists of insights about their effects of study habits in
the performance in mathematics.
The rating used to study habits in the performance in mathematics
checklist is as follows:
Scale Description Weight Verbal Interpretation
5 Always 4.20-5.00 Very Beneficial
4 Often 3.40-4.19 Beneficial
3 Sometimes 2.60-3.39 Moderately Beneficial
2 Rarely 1.80-2.59 Less Beneficial

3 80.00-84.00 Satisfactory
2 75.00-79.00 Fairly Satisfactory
1 74 below Needs Improvement
Statistical Treatment of Data
The data gathered was statistically treated with the use of the weighted
arithmetic mean, standard deviation, linear regression and effect on study
habits.
The statistical treatments used are as follows;
The weighted arithmetic mean was calculated in order to verify other
results of the extent in the effects of study habits in the performance in
mathematics of Grade 10 Students of Missionari Della Fede Community
High school Inc.
The standard deviation was used to identify how widely values are
dispersed from the average value ( the mean) from the result of the extent
in the effects of study habits in the performance in mathematics of Grade
10 students of Missionari della Fede Community High school Inc.
Linear Regression was used to determine the significant effects of the
learning styles in terms of the effects of study habits in the performance in
mathematics of Grade 10 Students.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the summary, conclusion and recommendations
of the study.
Summary
The main purpose of this study was to determine the effect of
study habits on the performance in mathematics of grade 10 students S.Y
2019 - 2020. Specifically it sought answer to the following question:
1. What is the extent of study habit?
2. What is the level of student performance?
3. Is there a significant effect between study habit and student
performance?
Descriptive research design was employed using twenty – six (26)
grade 10 – Newton students from Missionari Della Fede as respondents.
Weighted Mean, Standard Deviation, Linear Regression and for
the significant effect of the learning style, dependent and independent
sample were employed as statistical treatment to answer the stated
question in the study.
Based on the data gathered the findings were draw. The following
reveal the findings of the study:
1. The extent of Behavioural Traits of grade 10 – Newton students in
terms of attitude has a mean of 2.97 and SD of 0.62 which is
verbally interpreted as Moderately High.
2. The level of Performance of Grade 10 – Newton students in
Mathematics has a mean of 86.52, point grade equivalent of 3.72
3. Based on the result on the significant effects of behavioural trait in
terms of attitude to the performance in mathematics of grade 10
students the P – value of 0.002 is greater than to the a – value of
0.05. Therefore, there is enough evidence to support the study that
there is no significant effect on effect of study habit on mathematics
of Grade 10 – Newton students.
Conclusion
From the above findings the following conclusions were drawn.
The effects of study habit on mathematics was High .Also, the effect of
study habits in terms of visual learners High while for kinaesthetic
learners it was only Moderately High indicating that the students were
usually a visual learners in learning mathematics.
The mean level of the students’ performance in mathematics of
Grade 10 – Newton student was High.
The result for the significant effect of behavioural trait to the
performance in mathematics was Not Significant.
Since the result for the significant effects on the effect of study
habit on mathematics of Grade 10 – Newton students on their
performance in mathematics in terms of attitude, visual learner and
kinaesthetic learner indicating that the null hypothesis is true. It only
means that the effect of study habit on mathematics has no significant
effect to the performance in mathematics.
Recommendations
Based on the findings that are drawn in the conclusion, the following
recommendations are as follows:
1. Teachers may observe the right behaviour of their students
throughout the year of teaching the subject. Teachers may also be
aware on the learning styles that their students have for them to
easily execute the discussion and to have hints on how we will
encourage the students to be more eager in learning the subject.
2. Students must continuously observe their proper behaviour in class
for them to maintain and to improve their performance in the
subject. Students can also know on what learning styles they are
belong for them to used techniques that was appropriate on them,
so, that it can be helpful to maintain as well as to improve their
performance in the subject.
3. As for the researchers, it can be useful tool as a reference for their
research having the same variable.
