SBA Title
The number of hours the students from SAAN and SKAIH spend studying daily.

Introduction
Many students study late, while others go to bed early. This may be due to school levels or class
differences. Varying study habits among students are common. The term "Late" in this context
means studying till the later hours of the evening after 10 pm, while "early" refers to completing
such tasks earlier in the evening before 6 pm. It's acknowledged that perceptions of "late" or
"early" can vary among individuals. This can be due to the school's academic standards, specific
class, gender, or age. This study compares the study habits of grades 1 to 4 students from two
schools: SAAN and SKAIH. SAAN teaches grades 1 to 4, while SKAIH extends to grade 5 with
a higher academic level. Notably, SKAIH emphasizes theory more, while SAAN focuses on
practical learning. The study focuses on grades 1 to 4 students from both schools, considering
gender and age. Understanding study time is crucial for academic performance. The purpose of
this SBA is to find if there is a difference in study hours based on gender, age and form.

Method of Data collection
During break time, students will approach classmates, seeking information regarding gender,
class, and age. The gathered information will then be jot down, making sure to record gender,
class, age, and the number of hours each student spends studying. The same approach and
recording process will be repeated for students from the second school found in the same patio,
ensuring fairness and consistency. The collected data, including gender, class, age, and study
hours, will be organized, and tabulated for easy analysis. The study hours data will be compared
between the two schools, and any trends or patterns in study habits will be named from the raw
data.

Presentation of Data
After the student completed the questionnaire, the raw data was documented, and the
information was organized into tables and graphs as follows:

Median: There are 40 students, so the median age is halfway between 20 and the
21st youngest students. From the cumulative frequency table, you can see that the
13 youngest students are 13 years old and 21st youngest students are 14 years old.

Data Analysis: Study Habits in SPU and SAAN

In graph 1, it shows the number of participants divided between the schools, which
were 40 participants, 20 per school, making it 50-50. In graph 2 and 3: the number
of students divided by gender it was shown that 50% of the student participants are
girls and 50% of the student participants are boys. In SAAN 27.5% were boys and
22.5% were girls. In SKAIH it was the opposite 22.5% were boys and 27.5% were
girls. In graphs 4 and 5: the number of hours each student studies per day was
shown, and it was seen that at both schools, most students study between 1-2 hours
per day. We can notice this because it has the highest average of 45% while none
of the other students reached 4+ hours per day giving it the lowest average of 0%.
You can also see that the probability of picking a student that studies 1-2 is greater
than to 0-1 hours. In graph 6: Ages, it was shown that 16 comes up in all forms. It
showed that the ages 11,17 and 18 are the ones that come forward the least while
the ages 14 and 16 are the bio modal and comes more. It was also showed that the
mean of the ages is 14.33 And the IQR is 4.

Discussion of findings
Based on the analysis of study hours, SPU students collectively spent a total of
60.5% of the observed study hours, while SAAN students accounted for the
remaining 39.5%. This was derived from the combined study hours of both
11
schools, totaling 76 hours, considered as 100%. SPU contributed 46 hours (60.5%),
and SAAN contributed 30 hours (39.5%). The 21% difference highlights that
students from SPU dedicate more time to studying compared to their counterparts
in SAAN.

The presented data serves as valuable insight for educators, shedding light on
students' study habits and potentially influencing academic performance.
Additionally, the information reveals patterns among different age groups and
classes, offering educators a nuanced understanding of study behaviors.

Conclusion
To conclude, the study reveals a notable difference in study habits between
students from SPU and SAAN. Specifically, students from SPU collectively
dedicated 46 hours to studying, surpassing the 30 hours contributed by students
from SAAN. This contrast highlights the distinct study patterns between the two
schools. It was clearly seen in this research that the different levels in schools can
impact the amount of time a student spends studying. The school of a lower level
in this case SAAN has a difference of 21% percentage lower from SPU which is a
school of higher academic level.
