Project Kaagapay: Interventions to Combat the Many Facets of Poor Study Habits of Students

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Project KAAGAPAY was meant to understand the possible causal factors affecting student's study habits, specifically socio-cultural factors, in order to employ ways of addressing these possible problems and would help in improving the study habits of students, as well as improving their academic performance too. The presentation and analysis of data that has been revealed in the study will help in strengthening developmental programs helping build efficient and effective study habits.

METHODS

Qualitative and quantitative research methods were employed in this research. The study used fifty samples out of the total population, 13 students for Grade 7 and 8 and 12 for Grade 9 and 10. With the use of the descriptive-survey method, the surveys were made in order to discover factors that affect the study habits of students and the word survey denotes an investigation of a field to ascertain a typical condition. The researchers used questionnaires, observations, interviews, students' grades, and other student outputs for this study.

RESULTS

The study revealed that parents play an important role in the academic performance of students. The findings from this study support the conceptual underpinning that students tend to be more successful in school when they have parents who are involved in their education.

DISCUSSIONS

Therefore, students with more supportive parents will have high levels of academic achievement. This affirms the efforts of teachers in conducting home visitations, parent-teacher conferences, monthly meetings, phone calls or text messages, parent-teacher seminars, parents as partners, and the practices of the Parent-Teacher association because they allow for greater parent involvement.
