Learning styles, study habits and academic performance of Filipino University

students in applied science courses: Implications for instruction

Students at universities will learn more effectively and will be better prepared to

become competent, adaptable, and productive information and industrial technologists

in the twenty-first century by using instructional approaches and activities that

naturally match their preferences. This study examined the preferred learning styles,

study habits, and academic achievement levels of students enrolled in applied science

courses at Cagayan State University in Lasam, the Philippines. A descriptive

correlational research approach was used on a total of 75 respondents who were

purposefully sampled for the study. The researcher used two collections of common

tools. The survey's findings showed that while students in applied sciences courses

had a modest level of study habits, their preferred learning styles were visual,

collaborative, and kinesthetic. Additionally, they perform well academically.

According to a test of difference, academic achievement, the kind of the high school

they graduated from, and the fathers' line of work all significantly influenced the

learners' perceptual learning styles. When they were categorized according to their

mothers' educational backgrounds, writing abilities, academic standing in high school,

and test anxiety, they also indicated disparities in their study habits. Finally, there

were strong correlations between students' academic success in applied science

courses and their learning preferences, study techniques, and routines. The study's

conclusions can help instructors create and present effective educational interventions.

10 Habits of Highly Effective Students

The key to becoming an effective student is learning how to study smarter, not harder.

The top 10 study habits employed by highly successful students. Don't get

discouraged, don't give up, just work on the study habits and you'll be a better student.

Have you ever stayed up late studying only to find that keeping your eyes open

required more effort than studying itself? If so, a change is necessary. Successful

students rarely attempt to squeeze all of their studying into just one or two sessions

and instead spread it out across shorter periods of time. You must learn to be

consistent in your studies and to have frequent, albeit briefer, study sessions if you

want to be a successful student. This is one of the habit of highly effective students

which the article name suggest that, ‘’Don't attempt to cram all your studying into one

session’’. The author of the article said confidently that developing this habits can

achieve improvement in the academic success. (Loveless, 2018)
