question, 62.9% of the respondents said yes while 37. 1% says otherwise. In correlation with the

question "Is your study hours directly proportionate to the hours in usage of internet?" the

Based on the observation done by the researchers, most of the college students in Mapua

University Makati students have enough hours allotted for their studies and enough for their

entertainment, which most of it were influenced by their surroundings. Yet most the respondents

considered it as not fully effective.

The second part is in accordance to the student’s study habit. For the question "where do

you often study", the respondents are required to answer all applicable answers. 34 of them

answered at home, 27 answered at school (such as library, canteen, etc.), 10 of them answered at

the restaurant (e.g. cafe) and 8 of the respondents answered at public and private transport.

through listening to lectures in classroom, 31 answered through reviewing, 24 answered through

memorizing texts, 19 of them answered through watching educational videos, 12 of them

answered through researching topics and 25 answered through preparing study materials such as

reviewers and others. For the question “Do you study while using your devices with internet",

the respondents are required to answer “yes or no” and if no, the answer in the next question

should be “not applicable”. Out of 35 respondents, 85.7 % of them answered “YES” and 14.3%

respondents are required to answer all applicable answers. 28 of the respondents answered
Academic purpose, 23 of them answered social purposes, 22 answered entertainment purposes

answer one only among the choices. Out of 35 respondents, 71.4% of them answered

environmental influence (e.g. school, community), 22.9% answered cultural influence such as

family and 5.7% of the respondents answered social influence (e.g. trends, norms, etc.). For the

question "How effective is your study habit (based on influences) in accordance to your

academic performance", the respondents can only choose one answer from 1 to 5 rating. Out of

35 respondents, 57.1% of them answered 4, 22.9% answered 3, 17.1% answered 5 and 2.9% of

them answered 2.

Based on the observations of the researchers, most of the study habits of the said college

students were very similar to each other, and yet this is because of the influence of their

surroundings such as in school, in their community and others. With that said, the respondents

still were not fully satisfied with the effectiveness of their study habits.
