learning resource lab when available, develop a list of possible questions, ask questions in

Studying in a way that suits your learning style, Taking regular breaks, Studying early (do not

 Time management is also effective and essential for all of us, whether you are a

student or anyone else. There are many kinds of factors that which can affect on how well the

students manage their time and in what ways. Some are excellent at managing their time and

others are not. We can assist our learners to be better at managing their time, whether its an

online learning environment or any other. However, studies reveals that the effect of time

management training on time management practices varies, and there is therefore a need to

explore this further.

This study investigates on how the practices of time management, on how

important the self-regulated learning enabler, the affects of learning in the online learning

environment. An automated adaptive time management enabling system was used to guide

the students on how to manage their time more effectively. The system assisted the students

in their time management through visual reinforcement, adaptive release, learning monitors

and learning motivators. The findings shows that the use of the time management enabling

system facilitated and guided the students in studying the course in a consistent manner and

aided students in practising more effective time management thus impacting performance. In

summary, positive changes were made to their time management behaviours and these

subsequently improved their self-regulation.

strategies and activities that naturally correspond with their predisposition will make

university students better learners and better learners and better equip them to become

who were asked about their preferred learning styles, study habits, and academic

accomplishment level. The study used a descriptive correlational research design n with a

total of 75 respondents who were chosen at random for the investigation. The researcher used

Prediction of Academic Achievement in Dominican students: Mediational Role of

Learning Strategies and Study Habits and Attitudes toward Study. According to Reyes, Betty;

Jimenez-Hernandez, David; Martinez-Gregorio, etal. (2023). School or academic success is a

pertinent study topic because it serves as proof of the student’s learning. In this study,

learning strategies, study habits, and study attitudes are tested as potential mediators model

was developed and tested using structural equation modeling. The primary findings

demonstrate that study habits, learning strategies, and attitudes serve as a mediator between

background characteristics including age, gender. Academic accomplishment of students and

cognitive or behavioral involvement. By balancing the benefits of academic support and

school engagement, learning techniques and study habits are essential for obtaining high

academic achievement.

plan for the study was a descriptive survey research approach. 1050 senior secondary school

pupils from Abuja the Federal Capital Territory, made up the study’s sample. Questionnaires

were utilized as the data gathering tool. Chi-square was used to analyze the data. The study’s

conclusions showed a strong correlation between students’ academic achievement and their

study habits. Teachers and school guidance counselors were advised to guide students on how

to develop good study habits thereby enhancing their academic success.
