CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
From the start of human existence, learning has been the forefront of man’s
move towards the future. The researchers think that success with every endeavour has
been rooted in how man handled each and every situation with his learned habits.
When man’s quest for excellence and drive for education evolved, his learning and
study habits of respondents towards close door policy also improved through time, and
tested in every aspect of evaluation possible. With every change in man’s environment,
the rate of achieving success also varies; this is where the relationship of study habits of
respondents towards close door policy and academic performance will come into play.
Although each and everyone will have their own preferences and they
themselves will be their own judges as to how good or bad their study or learning habit
would be; it will still depend on where, when, and how the study or learning habit will be
utilized. The vital objective will be to find out the relationship of study habits of
respondents towards close door policy and academic performance and easily adapted
by anyone but at the same time will achieve the highest rate of success in the aspect
significant to the user.
Academic performance is one of the prime importance throughout a person’s life.
It is interrelated with matter, method, material, media and visuals, motivation, mastery
as stated by Dr. Victorina Acero. How it is met depends on one’s concept of what it is.
However, many students are not aware that study habits of respondents towards close
2
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 3/50
door policy just like academic performance are vital towards helping them finish their
course. What really matters most is the kind of study habits of respondents towards
close door policy one has and how he does them. The term study habits of respondents
towards close door policy should really be qualified as proper way of studying lessons,
which would simply be defined as a process of learning.
The success of one may or may not be the success of all, so it must not be
assumed that if a particular learning is a success, it can always be applied to every
learning field. If the method of learning is flexible enough, man himself must also be
flexible to utilize any method possible. Learning and education is a dynamic aspect of
an individual’s life and it should always be expected that nothing is permanent. Life itself
is the learning field and the path to success or failure will be man’s ultimate evaluation.
He himself would be the evaluator of his own happiness and he himself would be the
one to choose his path of destiny.
That is why we wanted the thesis to introduce the meaning of closed-door policy
in every school for the academic achievements and performance of each students.

Background of the Study
The researchers, with the drive to attain the highest degree of success possible,
decided to take up and discuss the idea behind different s closed-door policy. The goal
is to identify the whole process of adapting and efficiently utilizing the different learning
habits and to academic performance due to closed-door policy. All the factors involved
will be carefully studied and restudied in order to achieve the different aspects that will
determine the success or failure of a particular study habit or learning method.
The core of this study is to identify, evaluate and understand the relationship of
study habits of respondents towards close door policy and academic performance, its
efficiency and effectiveness and how it would adapt to the effects of technology and
innovations in learning and education.

Significance of the Study
This study was carried out to determine the factors affecting the learning
methods and study habits of the fourth year college students year 2010 to 2011.
This study will contribute on the following:
Students
The findings of this study will assist students and provide them with better
understanding on how to study their lessons more effectively and efficiently use
available resources which can greatly increase the chance of absorbing more
knowledge and information; therefore, this would serve as guide to achieve better
academic performance.
Educators
The findings of this study would give valuable background information that may
bring about change and improvement in teaching and educating strategies. The
instructors can motivate the students properly by making them appreciate their potential
as a learner.
The result of this study could provide a better understanding with regards to the
teacher - student relationship, strengthening it instead of creating gaps and differences
8
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 9/50
which evidently creates a void in the learner’s path to success. It would also make the
educator aware that there are various study habits a student may utilize, it may not be in
accordance to his standard but it suits the learner very well. This study aims to reach
the professors in another point of view that students have different behaviors of gaining
knowledge.
Administrators
The findings of the study would provide factual information on the factors on
teaching and learning process that affects the student’s academic performance to close
door policy so as to adapt effective policies and programs recommendation to ensure
maintenance and profound utilization of good study habits among students.
Thus, enable them to provide advances which include adjustments in curriculums
and seminars that will guide and equip not only college students but college educators
as well, the aim is to positively adapt and adhere to efficient learning methods and study
habits amidst different student perceptions and learning situations.

Scope and Limitations
The data gathering was focused only to the factors that greatly influence in
learning and study habits of the study population, using convenience sampling which is
composed of thirty (30) students’ both female and male, officially enrolled in academic
year of 2010 to 2011, ages ranging from 18 to 25 years old; either single or married,
those who were the eldest, youngest, or only child, and others among their siblings. A
structured three pages check list questionnaire that passed the criteria of practicality,
reliability and validity will be used in gathering the data which is composed of age and
gender and other factors that is related to their own study habits and academic
performance on their Professional Learning Subjects (Major and minor subjects). This
would take only fifteen minutes of their time in answering the instrument.
As to the uniqueness of an individual, the researchers intend to harvest the very
importance of such insight during the first semester on this school year (2010 to 2011).
The study will include in preliminary and secondary interviews of the subjects regarding
students’ learning process inside the learning field.

Conceptual Framework
The concept was derived from Lourdes A. Dagdag of “Winning Strategies for
Study, Thinking and Writing Skills” and Victorina O. Acero of “Principle and Strategies of
Teaching”. The researchers come out with this concept for it allows the students to
adeptly go about the arts of studying. It shows how different factors may or may not be
of significance to the success of the learner. Some changes will be adapted from the
framework of but it will not lose its essence, a detailed approach will be observed to
simplify understanding of the study.
According to Dagdag , Desirable study skills includes careful management of
time, correct choice of study area, effective reading, quality writing, selective yet
accurate note taking, improved concentration, successful test taking, relating well to
instructions and wise use of study system. Such behavior is not only through in human
beings where the animalistic nature is concerned but animals as well, as they operate
on the instinctive or sensitive level.
According to Dr. Victorina Acero, All learning begins with things around us. They
may be objects, persons or phenomena that we experience or that we became aware of
through any of our five senses. The S-R bond or stimulus-response bond as explained
in behavioristic psychology holds that every stimulus elicits an automatic response Such
behavior is not only through in human beings where the animalistic nature is concerned
but animals as well, as they operate on the instinctive or sensitive level. However, such
11
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 12/50
reactions may not always be true in situations where human beings behave on a higher
or rational-moral level.

Discussion of the Paradigm of Learning Process
Whenever a person studies, learning process always happens wherein he
rationalizes and activates his own moral route therefore learning outcomes follows.
Learning outcomes are the ones that are realized by the person who studies himself. It
is the ones that he had done reasoning carefully through his mind.
In studying, the intellectual mind has always its own personal meaning that bounces off
into two outcomes; these are the negative and the positive outcomes. The negative
outcomes (NO) means that the person who studies did not absorbed what he is reading.
He could not get the information properly therefore resulting in a negative learning
outcome. A positive outcome comes with a response which means that the person who
reads understands what he is rationalizing. It starts with his presence of mind that
involves the factors that made him concentrate properly in studying; these are the
environment and his own senses. When these two factors affects the person’s mind
properly, his stimulus activates and responds to what he is thinking therefore change of
the person’s behavior happens. Its either he agree or disagree to what he is thinking
and what he is absorbing.
Learning Styles, venue for studying and duration of studying are the three
factors that contributes to how a person intellectual mind or will rationalizes in learning
something from the content that he is rationalizing.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Related Readings
Learning is probably a difficult concept to define. Generally, it is described as the
process of having one’s behavior modified, more or less permanently, by what happens
in the world around him, by what he does or by what he observes. It is any change in
behavior that results from experience – except changes which are due to injury or
psychological adjustments such as sensory adaptation and muscular fatigue. Learning
is a lifetime process. As long as the individual interacts with forces in the environment,
he is driven by various motivations instigated by needs. Human Thinking is considered
the most outstanding development of psychological evolution, it is in this context that a
number of psychologists view of thinking as associated process, collectively referred to
a cognitive process, as playing a significant role in mans capacity for complex learning.
Our study also conceptualizes on the common perception of the lifestyle of
student caries considerably; this can range from a student who is perceived to be
constantly partying to the studious bookworm burning the midnight oil. Despite this
difference of opinion there is one thing that is generally agreed upon and that is at
whatever age is the start of student days the experience offers a specialness that
cannot be captured at any other time of life. According to Whitehead and Manson
(2003), this belief is rooted in the expectations of student life, where entering a new
culture offers the prospect of meeting new friends, facing new challenges and
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 18/50
18
experiencing new learning opportunities, which will result in a new rewarding
qualification ad satisfying career. Again, there is a balance to be drawn between study,
rest and play, with each one offering the potential for academic growth and
development. One should not leave their student days feeling unfulfilled. Maximize
potential in all areas of life.
There are some study techniques that are worthy to consider improving
performance. In our study based on CHAPTER 1, having a study habit is a vital element
in order to achieve a good grade and perhaps a better one. According to Zulueta
(2004), these have been developed for aiding students in improving academic
performance: Motivation to study, Motivation constitutes the degree of an individual’s
behavior manifested by his interests, attitudes and aspirations to satisfy his desired
goals as urge to satisfy goal object. Distributed vs. Massed Practice, in distributed
practice or distributed effort, short practice periods are used separated by rest intervals.
In masses practice the individual works continuously until the task is mastered.
Research with a variety of different tasks and rests intervals of various sizes has shown
that as a rule there is an advantage to distributed practice, but one or two exceptions
have been found. One reason why distributed learning is generally more efficient than
massed learning is that when the work unit is prolonged, fatigue may set in and offset
the effectiveness of one’s effort. A shot work unit, usually produces better motivation
than a long time. Extra effort is induced, as in shirt sprint. Introducing a rest period
reduces fatigue and leads to better performance. Recitation vs. Reading, The value of
recitation versus reading in memorizing a variety of verbal material has been
investigated. In a study which involved a large group of children from several grades
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 19/50
19
who were made to memorize nonsense syllables, some children spent 100 percent of
the time reading, while in another group they spent 80 percent of the time (Gaits). The
outcome was that, the larger the proportions of the time spent in recitation, the greater
is the efficiency of learning. Whole vs. Part learning, the results of the experimental
studies revealed that the learner is often happier and better adjusted to the task if it
begins with the parts. Although he finds that putting the learned parts together requires
much additional work, in the end he may have saved time and energy by beginning with
the part. Organized Study Routine, The time allotted for every learning task is very
important to effective learning. The individual must observe strictly and adhere to a
study routine based on the nature of the subject to be studied and the amount of time
that is required. Difficulty of the subject should be given priority in time scheduling.
According to (Zulueta, 2004), Reward and Punishment may be used to influence
a performance. The facilitating reward is widely acknowledged, but the use of
punishment is less clearly understood. Many factors influence the outcomes of various
punishments, but punishment is most effective when it is used in combination with
reward and when it is mild and informative. Unusually severe or unpredictable
punishment may lead to unstable behavior or fixation. The origin and habit strength of
the punished response, the time sequences and the characteristics of the subject are
some of the important variables. In relation to our study, we want to find out if these
factors greatly help and affect senior students in improving their academic
performances.
Base on Zulueta’s realated literatures (2004) thinking is manipulating the world,
internally, using modifications of the organism which represents various experiences. It
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 20/50
20
is a behavior that uses ideas or symbols which represents things or events. Inferentially,
most thinking occurs in active manipulation and exploration of various events in the
environment. Memory it is the ability to store facts and information so that it can be
utilized in the future. Memory is not only confined to human and other living organism
but also in other electronic devices. In this, we would like to compliment these two major
factors that makes senior students of college to excel in their academic performances
through their study habits whether they could concentrate well on their thinking and
memory.
This correlates the works of Whitehead and Manson (2003),that study is very
much a personal endeavour and there are as many different styles of study as there are
people engaged in the process. Whatever the study style chosen, it should be one that
is based on organization, clear thinking and sound planning. Time is valuable to all and
do not want to waste it by disorganized working or studying. A need to understand self
and lifestyle before planning study would take a little time and consider the style that
suit one’s best and the extent of motivation that drives the learner. Time if finite and an
honest reflection of priorities, needs and ability to satisfy these is the best policy.
Attempting to study as well as fulfilling all other commitments in life would probably lead
to a reduction in the quality of everything.
This includes that time management is best technique in developing efficient
habits of time use is to prepare a time list that combines long-range and short-range
planning: 1. Long term scheduling – a fixed commitment that are requires to meet,
examples, classes, job hours, organization meeting and church. 2. Intermediate
schedule (one per week) – a short list of major events and amount of work to be
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 21/50
21
completed in each subject, including non-study activities. Prepare new list per week. 3.
Short term schedule (one per day) - specific things to be done.
As proven in the study of Dagdag that study area is greatly influential as defined
as any quiet place with adequate lighting where can study without disturbance. Have a
study desk with a chair that can support back. Never study on bed, for it will invite to
lounge and eventually fall off to sleep.
Reading is more effective in using the PSQ5R method, (Purpose, Survey,
Question, Read Selectively, Recite, Rite, Reflect and Review). Purpose: before reading
determine the intention for reading the material on what concept or information needed
and for what was instructed to do. Survey: Have a quick scan on the material; take
notes on the chapter headings, topics and subtopics. This is a valuable way of saving
time as focusing on the portions relevant to what is needed to study. Question: This is
actively allows searching for answers to particular problems and rations time per
problem while reading.
The 5R’s Effective writing is quality writing. To achieve this analyze writing in
two characteristics: content and form. Writing without form is like a human body without
skeleton; writing without content is like skeleton with no flesh. Ideas to be clearly and
accurately understood, both characteristics should be presented in writing. The writing
process consists of the following. (1) Prewriting – is brainstorming. Its purpose is to
create as many ideas related to the subjects as possible, and as quickly as possible.
Examples are listing, fast writing, spidering and mapping (2) Organizing - is selecting an
opinion about the subject, choosing enough of the right type of detail from the prewrite
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 22/50
22
and adding when needed, and creating an order for those details and fitting them into
the form. (3) Writing – is simply following the shape of the form and putting the
fragments of ideas into complete sentences, and adding when needed. (4) Revising – is
adding and deleting information, changing the order of the details and the form, and
looking for major mechanical errors. (5) Editing – is checking the writing for basic
writing errors like spelling, punctuation and grammar. and (6) Writing the final draft after
several revisions.
Note taking is an active listening process and be selective in writing down. Before
lecture, read the assigned material or skim for five to ten minutes to identify the most
relevant information from the lecture. During the lecture, watch out for cues from the
instructor as to what information is most relevant. Organize the material with headings.
If there are gaps do not hesitate to stop instructor and ask questions. Do not write down
every word the instructor says, but copy that are being stressed or on the board or
overheads. Develop a set of abbreviations for use in note taking and way of identifying
key concepts and ideas. After the lecture, review notes within 24 hours, the time period
when brain is capable of recalling more things, as established by studies. [3] (Dagdag,
2005)
Concentration to improve concentration and memory, try these techniques.
(1)Arrange study in order of relation importance. (2)Break study time in manageable
periods of time. Schedule a regular break. (3)Deal with anxieties by using relaxation
techniques like shoulder shrug and rotation, including personal calming technique.
(4)Avoid distraction by choosing a study spot that does not strain eyes or body, where
all the supplies needed are within easy reach and which where study occurs and not to
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 23/50
23
do anything. (5)Try some techniques to improve ability to memorize such as organizing
and summarizing notes into essential ideas, using acronyms to remember a difficult set
of concepts and constantly reciting and reviewing what was being studied. [3] (Dagdag,
2005)
Test taking is something that should be prepared off. A good result should
be expected if the taker knew what to do before and after taking the exam. Before the
test – Complete all the required readings, Organize study time by planning daily, weekly
and major review sessions, Forming a study group with five or six members would help
to undertake review activities that include making up practice tests and comparing
notes, Create study notes by predicting the test, testing ones self and reciting
information’s aloud, Reduce test anxiety by maintaining a balanced schedule including
exercise and relaxation techniques, a healthy diet and adequate rest. During the test –
use time wisely, Read directions and questions carefully, Know the rules in the test such
as time limits, Answer all questions unless there are penalties for guessing, Look for
clues from other tests questions. After the test – Ask self the following questions: Which
part of the exam is the easiest? Which part of the exam is the hardest? Which of the
activities completed prior to the exam was the most helpful? (Example; regular review,
study tool, self testing, study groups) Does one feel prepared when he walked into the
exam? Why or why not? How might one study differently for the next exam for better
result? [3] (Dagdag, 2005)
Influencing Teachers, Relating to instructor affect how well one does in a course.
Do not criticize, condemn or complain to the teacher about his performance rather,
focus on the discussion of the material and understanding the material, Apprciate the
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 24/50
24
course, Know and use the teachers name, Listen on what he has to say about himself,
Let him fell that he is important, Avoid arguing, Ask questions rather than giving orders,
Let teacher know much interest you have for the course, Always have the textbook,
Hand in all assignments on time throughout the semester. [3] (Dagdag, 2005)
Managing study time effectively is one of the most complex of all study skills.
Those who are so overwhelmed by many responsibilities may not complete course or
fail their theoretical work. The fundamental rules of balancing commitments and
responsibilities are to anticipate problems, communicate with others, plan thoroughly,
implement proactively, evaluate effectively and amend accordingly. Make a list of main
problems that will arise in the course of study and prioritize them with the most serious
at the top. Then go through each problem and identify who are the people that are
needed to communicate in order to either acquire information or to discuss the problem
with. It is often the case that once discussed the problem with others solution can be
negotiated. This may ease the ease the situation, the use of six fold plan as outlined for
each problem anticipated. Students face may responsibilities, the earlier the six-fold
plan should begin. Indeed, that these responsibilities can be organized before the
course of study begins.
ASPECTS OF PLAN RATIONALE
Anticipate Think ahead and identify problems that might be encountered.
Make a priority listCommunicate Identify who can be approached to address the problem. This might
be the person causing the problem or who can offer help or advice.
Plan Make a plan of action to address the problem. This might include
the best time to talk with the person.
Implement Put the plan into action. Do not put it off.
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 25/50
25
Evaluate What was the result of the implementation? Was the problem
solved or did it make things worse?
Amend Change the plan and have another attempt. Try something
different.[2] (Whitehead and Manson, 2003)
Careful management of time, correct choice of study area, effective reading,
quality writing, selective yet accurate not taking, improved concentration, successful test
taking, relating well to instructions and wise use of study system. [3] (Dagdag, 2005)
M.U.R.D.E.R. This is the acronym of a useful study system, which is actually a
recap of the previously discussed study skills. Mood – set of positive aura in
environment, time and attitude. Understand – mark information’s not easy to
understand. Recall – stop and recall. Digest – go back, understand and reconsider the
information (e.g., other resources such as books and instructor) Expand – Ask three
kinds of questions concerning the study material. (e.g., If I can speak to the author, what
questions will I ask or criticism would I offer? How can I apply this material to what I am
interested in? How can I make this information interesting and understandable to other
students?) Review – Go over the material covered. Review what strategies helped in
understanding and / or retain information in the past apply these in current studies. [3]
(Dagdag, 2005)
Effective Study Habits includes trying to develop and appreciate the following habits:
Take responsibility for self Responsibility is recognition that in order to succeed one
should make decisions about your priorities, your time, and your resources. Center
self around values and principles. Don't let friends and acquaintances dictate on
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 26/50
26
what to consider important. Put first things first. Follow up on the priorities set for
self, and don't let others, or other interests, distract from goals. Discover key
productivity periods and places. Morning, afternoon, evening; study spaces where
study can be the most focused and productive. Prioritize these for most difficult
study challenges. Consider self in a win-win situation Winning by doing best and
contributing best to a class, whether for self, your fellow students, and even for
teachers and instructors. If contented with performance, a grade becomes an
external check on performance, which may not coincided with internally arrived at
benefits. First understand others, then attempt to be understood When issues arise
with an instructor, for example a questionable grade, an as assignment deadline
extension, put self in the instructor's place. Now ask self how best to make an
argument given the situation. Look for better solutions to problems
For example, if one don't understand the course material, don't just re-read the
material. Try something else! Consult with the professor, a tutor, an academic
advisor, a classmate, a study group, or school's study skills center
Look to continually challenge self!

In the paper Study Habits For a Lifetime by: Sara J Holt, without productive study
habits it is easy to spend too much time and see too little results. Here are 5 study
habits that will prevent this from happening to you.
Find Quiet Place to Study
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 27/50
27
It is easy to sit at the kitchen table and spread out your books, but distractions
can abound in this setting which can hinder successful studying. In order to avoid this
issue, and form good study habits, it is important that you find an area or room that is
conductive to uninterrupted time. This is most easily achieved by sitting at a desk in a
room with a door that closes and informing other members of your household of your
need to not be interrupted.
Organize Your Papers
Organizing your papers before starting the studying process can seem like a
waste of time. Why not just dive in? The answer to this is that organization beforehand
can prevent a lot of wasted time spent looking for papers. But it goes beyond this, since
even a minute or two of looking for a paper can interrupt your thoughts and make you
loose valuable time in refocusing.
Tackle the Most Difficult Assignment First
This study habit can have a great impact on the quality of work produced. If you
are fresh and alert then you are more likely to do better work than if you are tired and
anxious to be done. It can also help to make a list of assignments, in order from
greatest difficulty to easiest, and then check off each one as it is accomplished.
Focus on One Subject at a Time
It is easy to jump back and forth between subjects, but this can break your focus
and make you loose valuable study time. Set aside your books for other subjects, pull
out all of your resources for the subject you are working on, and dive in.

Take Breaks
This does not mean turn on the television and spend an hour watching it. What it does
mean is that it can be very beneficial to stand up for 5-10 minutes every hour or so and
do stretches. Refocusing the eyes and body means that when you do return to your
work you are more attentive and productive.
Study habits are well worth the time spent integrating them into your life, since
they save so much time and effort in the long run. They allow for more success and
confidence and in this way are invaluable. [4] (Holt, 2005 - 2008)
An article entitled Increase your Study Concentration by Creating a Good Study
Environment by: Jane Saeman states that to study you need only your study materials
and a place to use them -- and theoretically that could be anywhere. But the practicality
of this is that people who have a good dedicated area for their studies have a greater
chance of being able to complete their study sessions quicker because they can create
an environment that works for them and allows them to focus.
Some people are able to switch off to what's going on around them, but most
people need to have as few distractions as possible. There are people who work well
with music, some who study better with silence, and then others who can concentrate
on their bookwork as they follow their favorite soap opera on TV! Each person needs to
discover the kind of study environment that works for them and then set up a real study
area within that environment.
Your study space should consist of a desk or table so that you can set out the
things you need for your studies. If you have things such as a laptop, or desktop
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 29/50
29
computer, ideally this should be able to be left in your study area when you're not
studying. Your desk needs to big enough to have any computer equipment you need,
plus your books and a place to write. If there are no drawers on your desk or table, find
an appropriate sized box and keep this under the work surface with your spare
stationary materials such as additional pens and paper.
As one get older, studying involves longer periods sitting desk with books and so
with great need to find a comfortable chair. A computer chair may seem the more
appropriate, but sit on it and see if you think it will still seem comfortable after a couple
of hours. It could be that a dining room chair with a cushion is actually gentler on your
bones!
Apart from comfort you need to think about the height of the seat against the
height of the desk/table. If the chair is higher, you may need to consider having it
lowered. If the desk is higher, then this may need lowered. Taking the time to sort this at
the beginning of your studies will mean you won't be likely to have needless hours
sitting in an uncomfortable position.
The last thing that you absolutely must have is adequate lighting. This could be
natural light or electric, the source isn't as important as making sure that you can study
without straining your eyes. Learn what kind of light works best for you. It could be that
you work best with an up light rather than one that floods your area with direct light. You
may work best with a tube light or enjoy the cozy feeling created with a table spot light.
If you find you are getting headaches after studying, one thing you can try is to change
the kind of lighting you're using to see if that helps.

Creating a permanent study space that's always available for you whenever you
feel the urge to get out your study materials is one of the easiest ways of putting your
focus into study mode. Make sure that if your designated area is in a general area in the
house, it's kept a "no go" zone to the rest of the household otherwise you'll find yourself
having to remove all the non-study related items before you can study, and that's
counterproductive to what you're trying to achieve. Make your study nest that fits your
study habits and you'll find your concentration and even motivation to study increase.[5]
(Saeman, 2005 - 2008)
In another article Effective Study Habits by: Gene Grzywacz explains that an
effective study habits are essential for achieving and maintaining a high GPA. More
importantly, effective study habits help you to store information in long-term memory,
allowing you to use the learned information in a novel setting. Applying the following
rules for studying will aid you in earning excellent marks in school.
Do: 1. Keep the area around your desk neat and tidy. If possible, the area should
also be quiet. If you are having trouble finding a quiet place to study, try the local library
or park. The library is a perfect place to have peace and quiet. The park may not be as
quiet, but the fresh air can make studying less nerve-racking. If these options are
unavailable, then try listening to some music while studying.
2. Have a scheduled study time for each school day. Remember that one
classroom hour should be reinforced by two hours of studying at home.
3. Sit down for 45 minute intervals, followed by 15 minute breaks. Having an
easily attainable goal, like sitting for set duration of time, is effective for increasing
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 31/50
31
motivation.
4. Reward yourself if and only if you have met your goal for that study session.
For example, if you plan to study one chapter and succeed, then you may reward
yourself by doing something pleasurable. Examples of positive reinforcement are: food,
exercise, videogames, etc.
5. Make correspondences between your class notes and your textbook. This will
help you to fill in any background information not covered in class.
6. Prepare questions about the chapter that will be discussed in the following
class. This will help you identify areas that you don't understand.
7. Put any new words or concepts to use. The more you use the learned
information, the more likely you will be to remember it. This is especially true for
language classes.
8. Finally, review what you have studied just before you go to bed. You will find
that you will remember the words very strongly the next morning.
Don't: 1. Procrastinate. Cramming is not beneficial for producing long term memory.
2. Highlight. Highlighting is a form of procrastination, because you are saving
note taking for later. This means you must use the book twice instead of once. Instead,
make careful notes to compliment your classroom notes, along with page numbers so
that you can refer back to the book if necessary.
3. Study on the computer. You are bound to be tempted to check your email or
surf the net.
4. Leave your cell phone on during study time. No matter who is calling or texting
you, usually it can wait 45 minutes. Having your cell phone on during study time can be
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 32/50
32
a major distraction and is not conducive to learning.
5. Study just after you have eaten. Studies have shown that thinking is slower
after having a meal.
6. Space out. When you feel your mind begin to wander, remind yourself to
concentrate. If you are reading, using your finger is a good way to keep your mind on
track. The movement of your finger on the page forces you to pay attention to what you
are doing. [6] (Grzywacz, 2005 – 2008)
According to the written article Study Habits: Strategies for Success By: Cathy
Keller Brown Study Habits, “It’s never too early to develop good study habits. Nobody
reads before class. There’s no way I could ask questions in class without completely
embarrassing myself. I can only study for a test by cramming the night before.
I don’t have time for school. I have to work, and I’m involved in extracurricular activities.”
These are all reasons high school students give for not working hard in school.
Many fall into the trap of waiting until the last minute and just not thinking about what
they are learning. Then they start applying to college, realize their grades won’t get
them into their schools of choice, and wish they had studied more and paid attention in
class.
Rather than waiting until it’s too late, improve your study habits now!
1. Think actively when you read for class and listen while in class.
It’s easy to read and listen passively, highlighting lines of text or jotting down notes
quickly. You might find yourself sitting in class, partially absorbing what you’re hearing
while you’re really thinking about your plans for the weekend. But if you can focus more
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 33/50
33
on what you’re reading or hearing, you’ll waste less time, and you’ll create an
opportunity to learn and prepare for tests and papers.
The next time you read for a class, really think about what you’re reading and
engage with it. Skim it once to get a sense of the overall message, and then try to
rewrite that main point in your own words. Then write down any questions you have
about what is being said. If the author is making an argument, you might ask yourself
what evidence the author is using to make his/her point. If the work is more factual and
straightforward, ask yourself about the connections between the pieces of information
you’re being given. You might ask, for instance, if there is a cause/effect relationship
between the events being described. Then, reread again more slowly. Try to answer the
questions you’ve already posed, and then continue to ask more questions of the
material.
When you’re in class, try to really listen and follow what your teacher is saying.
Rather than writing down every word (which prevents you from really listening), write
down the points that seem most significant. Keep in mind that your instructor will likely
repeat key points.
2. Know what’s being covered in class each day.
This one is easy, but important. Before class, take 5 or 10 minutes to get yourself up to
date. Review any notes you took while reading the assigned chapter or article so that
you can remember what you’ve read and will have points to discuss. Also review notes
you took in the previous class. It only takes a few minutes to prepare yourself for class,
and you can do it while eating breakfast or in the five minutes before class starts. Those
few minutes will help you feel confident, prepared, and engaged during class time.
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 34/50
34
3. Study for tests throughout the semester.
It wasn’t until I had my first all-nighter and delivered my worst-ever performance on a
test that I realized the importance of being prepared and learning class material slowly
and steadily. It’s tempting to cram, but you’ll hate yourself during those chaotic hours
before a test. Instead, try to carve out short periods of time each week — maybe just 20
to 30 minutes — for each class. Use that time to review class notes, notes from your
reading, and any other pertinent materials. Keep track of concepts you’re struggling with
so that you can review them and talk to your teacher about them if necessary.
4. Keep up with your assignments.
Keep a calendar that details what’s due in each class. Take a few minutes to plot out a
schedule for completing each assignment, and write each step into your calendar so
that you don’t get behind. For instance, if you have a research paper due in one class,
write into your calendar when you need to choose a topic and begin the research
process. Do this for each assignment, no matter how small, and you’ll be able to more
easily manage your time. You just have to be sure that you actually refer to your
calendar frequently and make time to accomplish each day’s goals.
5. Talk to your teacher about anything you don’t understand.
If you’re struggling, it’s far more efficient to discuss your questions with the teacher than
to labor through and try to work it out on your own. Of course, this only works if you’ve
begun studying in advance and actually have specific questions and issues to discuss.
In addition to helping you become better equipped to succeed in the class, talking to
your teacher will help you get to know him/her and will show that you’re motivated and
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 35/50
35
interested in the class. You’ll benefit from that relationship when you need a
recommendation for college from someone familiar with you and your work.
It may seem daunting to incorporate all of these new habits at once, so start
small. Focus on one habit at a time, and once you’ve got that one down, adopt another.
When these habits become part of your mode of thinking, you’ll find it’s much easier to
manage your school life. When you can manage school more effectively, you’ll
ultimately free up more time for your social life, and that’s never a bad thing! [7] (Brown,
2007)
Synthesis:
Similarities and Differences of the Study and Those Reviews
There are many factors that influences individuals study habits and academic
performance; each have an unique way on how to deal with their learning. The
standards assure the availability of services which can help students reach success as
well as clearly notify them of their progress.
The related reading and literature wit the articles and this study have a similar
goal which is to evaluate the relationship of study habits to academic performance. This
strengthens and answers the statement of the problem. Teaching and learning
strategies as well as techniques also vary from one another but one must keep in mind
that proper training and discipline of both students and educators is crucial to he
success of effective learning. Like any other serious-minded each student is aspirin to
do well in school. College is a lot different, however, third year and fourth year students
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy

36
are facing a lot crucial stage where in decision making for future is rested on their own.
Therefore, in order to succeed on the chosen field students have to develop proper
study a thinking skills.
CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the methods and procedures used in the study. It also
discusses the researcher’s instruments used in gathering data in order to answer
specific problems presented in Chapter I and the statistical treatment of the data to be
gathered.
Locale of the Study
The study is conducted inside the premises of a certain college in Manila.
This helped the researchers identify and evaluate the variety of study methods being
used by the said population.
The Respondents
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 37/50
37
The respondents were selected using convenience non-random sampling due to
their availability as well as the researchers. They were thirty (30) students who were
officially enrolled in academic year 2010 to 2011, either male or female, ages ranging
from 19 to 22 years old. They signed a waiver which is included already in the
questionnaire as a proof that they permitted the researchers to gather data on their
great point average in their Professional Learning Subjects.

38
Research Design
The research is a combination of a descriptive-quantitative design. The
descriptive method is designed for the investigator to secure responses to questions
that are factual and practices of which the respondents are presumed to have
knowledge.
The research is geared towards the fulfillment of a common goal that included
the study habits of the respondents in relation to their academic performance. This
descriptive design was used as the method of research since it describes the nature of
a prevailing conditions and practices, and seeks accurate description of activities,
objects, persons and processes. This method is believed to be the most appropriate in
securing evidences about the present condition of a group of persons, class or events
and may involve conduction, analysis and measurement. The researcher decided to
utilize the descriptive method because the study tried to find out the present facts,
concerning the present status of the study habits of fourth year students in relation to
their academic performance in their Professional Learning subjects. Moreover,
descriptive method gives quality and meaning to facts that are currently going on in the
field. In addition, this method was used because the study was concerned with the
analysis of the present conditions that will lead to the identification of weaknesses or
problems and, consequently, find the appropriate solutions.
The Sampling Procedure
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 39/50
39
Using convenience sampling, the respondents were selected because of
their availability as well as the availability of the researchers as well as their trust in
letting the researchers made use of their Grade Point Average that were used in this
study. The respondents were selected conveniently because they were the ones easily
available to the researchers because the researchers had the same schedule as the
respondents.
Data Gathering
The data gathering procedures were divided into 3 phrases:
PHASE I - The letter of consent was given to the researchers' adviser for approval and
then to the Dean. Upon approval, the letter of consent will be handed personally to the
fourth year level coordinator and to the different class advisers. PHASE II - After the
letters have been given to the different level coordinators and class advisers, the
researchers then started the data gathering. PHASE III - After the data had been
gathered, it will be submitted for analysis, and interpretation.
Research Instrument
The researchers developed a questionnaire that helped them to collect the
needed data or information, to answer the aim or the purpose of the study.
Construction of the Questionnaire
8/8/2019 Close Door Policy
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/close-door-policy 40/50
40
The questionnaire was constructed on the basis of the concepts and ideas
gathered from professional reading materials, published and unpublished theses related
to the study. The first draft of the questionnaire was presented to their adviser for his
comments and suggestions. Suggestions were properly considered for the improvement
of the instrument. It contained the following parts: Part I dealt on the profile of the
respondents on age and gender; Part II revealed the study habits specifically on
learning styles, venue and duration of studying of the respondents; and Part III was the
waiver in obtaining their grade point averages from the concerned office.

Treatment of the Data
The researchers tallied and tabulated the data manually. The data and
information gathered from the questionnaire and documents from the Central Office
were reported using the following descriptive statistics.
Percentage. This was utilized in reporting the profile of the respondents
specifically on age and gender.
Weighted Mean. To answer questions number 2 a and 2 b, weighted mean was
used. Below is the scale that was used.
Weighted Mean Description Rating
3.26 – 4.00 Very Good

II. STUDY HABITS OF RESPONDENTS
The study habits of respondents towards close door policy are categorized into
three aspects, namely, learning style, venue for study, duration . All of these aspects
have been assumed to affect the study habits of respondents towards close door policy
s of the respondents.
Learning Style. Respondents were asked as to the degree of their agreement
on the pre-identified learning style.

The respondents’ prioritization of studying alone foremost their subjects are indicative of
their desire to focus more on professional learning subjects rather.
Venue for Studying. The places where students review and do their
assignments for their subjects also affect the quality of their learning and output. From
the table 4, it can be determined that respondents prefer more to study at home than in
public places; although, their mean scores, would mean that these are sometimes done.
Preferring to study at home offers the comfort that their own study room or area could
provide as compared to public places.

Duration for Studying. The time of studying also affects the memory retention,
and comprehension, hence, learning among students. Based on Table 5, it can be seen
that the students frequently study their Professional Learning Subjects (3.03) between
the range bracket of three to four hours, and spent hours in studying before an exam
with (3.10) between the range bracket of thee to four hours, spent hours in doing
homework’s (2.80) between the range bracket of two to three hours with an overall
mean of 2. 98 or the tendency of the respondents to study is between 2 to 3 hours.
