Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between study habits profile of the Grade 6 pupils of Panaon District, Panaon, Misamis Occidental during the S.Y 2022-2023 using descriptive-correlational research method. Total population sampling was used in selecting the 117 respondents. Frequency, Percentage, Average Weighted Mean, Standard Deviation, Spearman rho were used to analyze the gathered data. The findings revealed that majority of the respondents (69%) had a fairly satisfactory academic achievement, indicating a moderate level of achievement. A smaller proportion of respondents (26%) were classified as having a very satisfactory academic achievement. Based on the Mean and Standard Deviation, the respondents fill in the "Sometimes" category for most study habit indicators. It implied that many students did not consistently practice effective study habits, which can had a negative impact on their academic performance and learning outcomes. Furthermore, the study environment, and the following habits: test-taking, note-taking, reading, and writing were found to have insignificant very low to low negative correlation with academic achievement. However, Time Management and Math skills had a significant very low negative relationship with academic achievement. Both skills explain approximately 4% of the variance. This suggests that 96% of the variability can be explained by the other variables. Hence, students need to establish a consistent study routine. Also, further study needs to be conducted to determine the variability that was not explained by Time Management and Math skills.
