ABSTRACT

This study aimed to determine the relationship of Study

Habits, Learning Styles and Academic Performance in

Mathematics Blended Learning of Junior High School students

of Bohol Wisdom School academic year 2021-2022. This action

research involves the collection of data to test the

hypothesis. The responses are 279 junior high school student,

were taken as samples for the current study. For the

achievement of the purpose of the study, the researchers made

use of instruments to gather data from the respondents. These

instruments include a standardized questionnaire to test the

study habits and learning style and gathered students'

mathematics grades to determine the correlation of study

habits , learning styles and academic performance in

mathematics blended learning. The data gathered were the

basis for their tabulation and statistical treatment to reach

legal results. The findings suggested that students study

habit and learning style is importance in order to achieve
