THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

The rationale of the study

Education is one of the many sectors in the world that has been

impacted by the outbreak of Covid-19. due to the pandemic, the learning

process must take place at home, and the first face-to-face instruction has

been replaced by online education (Mahitsa & Mahardini, 2020; Mishra et

al.,2020). according to the UNESCO organization, numerous problems occur

when online learning is conducted; this issue arises since the majority of

students prefer face-to-face instruction. This rapid and hasty transition of

teaching and learning from open classrooms to closed houses, along with the

protracted closure and home confinement throughout the pandemic, also has

an effect on students’ study habits. While students with greater

socioeconomic possibilities have access to technology tools and an internet

infrastructure, not all students fine home-based and technology-supported

practices appealing. Some students must continue their education with fewer

opportunities.

Maria Angelica Salcedo-Relucio, (2019) has examined the factors that

strongly affect the study habits of Grade 11 students in Pangasinan,

Philippines, amid the new normal education. She has begun a study on the

study habits of Pangasinan students in response to a call for multidisciplinary

research on the probable consequences of a coronavirus pandemic. Relucio

(2019) concluded that the factors that affect the study habits of the students

during new normal education include home environment, peer pressure and

social media addiction, work and financial instability, and family stress.

The consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic on current distant

learning universities have gotten less attention, despite a growing corpus of

research on how students interpreted its effects. 555 undergraduate students

at The Open University, UK, participated in an online survey that collected

data on demographics, study-related information, Covid-19 personal

circumstances, and changes in study habits. Of the study population, an

average of 36% reported negative impacts on their study activities and 15%

positive impacts. It was shown by logistic regression analysis (n=269) that

there are general adverse effects on study habits were associated with

difficulties in managing workload and limited interaction with other students.

Other factors, such as socioeconomic background, study level, limited

interaction with tutors, age, personal health, employment issues, and

childcare and caring responsibilities, relate to particular study habits. Findings

have implications for how universities with new and existing distance learning

practices address these factors and better support ongoing learning activity

during Covid-19 and other similar disruptions.

The purpose of this study is to determine the level of study habits of

GAS students at home and school and the factors that affect these study

habits and practices with the new normal education. Specifically, it determined

the profile of GAS students at the Liceo de Davao - Tagum branch in terms of
age, gender, general average, and monthly family income; it determined the

level of the study of habits and practices of GAS students in the new

education; determine the level of the factors that affect the study habits and

practices of GAS students in the new normal education; as well as the

implications of this study to the teachers, students, parents, and the society.

As such, this study sought to fill in the gap in undergraduate students’ study

habits during the Covid-19 pandemic. The reserchers examined the level and

the factors affecting the study habits of GAS students in Liceo de Davao -

Tagum.

Statement of the Problem

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors affecting the

study habits of GAS students amid new normal education in Liceo de Davao -

Tagum. Specifically, it would seek to answer the following questions:

1. What is the level of the current study habits of GAS students?

2. What is the level of influence of following factors in relation to

student’s study habits in terms of:

2.1 Family stress?

2.2 Wok and Financial Instability?

2.3 Peer Pressure?

2.4 Home Environment?

3. Is there significant relationship between level of influence of the

factors affecting study habits and GAS Student’s Study Habits in terms

of:

3.1 Family stress?

 3.2 Wok and Financial Instability?

3.3 Peer Pressure?

3.4 Home Environment?

Research Hypothesis

From the problem stated above, the following hypothesis were

formulated:

H01. There is no significant relationship between family stress, financial

instability, peer pressure, and home environment to the study of the GAS

students amid new normal education.

Definitions of Terms

To provide clarity in the study’s major words, operational definitions are

given below.

New Normal Education. As used in this study, it refers to a previously

unfamiliar or a typical situation in education that has become standard, usual,

or expected in the present.

Study Habits. As used in the study refers to the regular tendencies

and practices that one depicts during the process of gaining information

through learning.
