Project SHARE 2019 (Study Habit attained for Responsible Education)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This project hopes to lessen the drop-out rate and achieve a quality standard grade.

Specifically, the project aims to reduce the number of the identified Grade 7 students with poor study habits by at least 41% or 38 of the 93 students and for them to obtain a quality standard grade and be promoted to Grade 8.

METHODS

Researchers interviewed Grade 7 class advisers and subject teachers to find out the which students were not performing well in class. Then, a survey was conducted using the Study Habit Questionnaire to identify students who had poor study habits and the reasons behind it. Afterwards, the students attended a Structure Learning Experience program focusing on the following topics: Time Management, Note Taking, Good Learning Environment and How to Prepare for an Exam.

RESULTS

It was found out that 93 students were not performing well in class during the first grading period and 49 of them had poor study habits. 88% or 43 of the students who constantly attended the SLE were promoted to Grade 8 while the 6 retained students failed to join the sessions.

DISCUSSIONS

The project gave emphasis on focusing on problems of students' poor study habits through teachers’ taking responsibility in creating an enjoyable learning environment and motivating students to strive for higher learning.
