INTRODUCTION The present day educational sector is becoming increasingly dynamic. The determination of every individual is to attain success and this success affects the personal and social dimensions of life. In this regard, academic performance is one of the major factors that influence individual's success in any educational setting. It is any body's guess that good habits and skills will help us to promote efficiency in our tasks. In education, proper study habits and skills requires proficiency as well as optimum learning quality (Dehghani & Soltanalgharaei, 2014). Productive study requires conceptualization and intention. It could include some skills such as note-taking, observation, asking question, listening, thinking and presenting idea with respect to new discoveries. Thus, students are expected to be interested in learning and must be able to apply requisite skills. On the other hand, inefficient study leads to waste of time and learner's energy (Hashemian & Hashemian, 2014). Study habits and skills like other skills can be taught and learnt. The interplay among motivation, habits, attitudes and behaviors has great impact on the academic performance of students. Study habit is buying out a dedicated scheduled and uninterrupted time to apply one's self to the task of learning. Studying is the procedure of getting information from prints that is information stored in written materials (magazines, newspapers, books). It is an organized gaining of intelligence and an interpretation of information and ideologies that calls for memorizing and usage. Studying can be expressed as the utilization of one's intellectual ability to the gaining, comprehending and arrangement of information; doing it over and over again entails some method of formal learning. Habit is a thing that one does often and almost without thinking; especially something that is hard to stop. A person's habit consists of plethora of ways an individual performs specific and general activity. Habit is relative to person or people. Each human being acts in a unique way. This is so because nature made things

The main purpose of this study is to investigate and to determine the linkages of the students ’ attitudes, teachers ’ roles in mathematics teaching and students ’ study habits that may contribute to students ’ achievement in mathematics. Questionnaires were given to 37 students from two levels (Year 9 and Year 10) ages 14 to 16 from one of the secondary schools in Brunei Darussalam. The questionnaires were designed specifically for the students to find the correlations between the students’ Mathematics Achievement (MA) and three main variables. The three variables used in the questionnaire are attitudes towards mathematics, Mathematics Teachings (MT) and Student’s Study Habits (SH). The variable on attitudes towards mathematics was bi-dimensional with both positive and negative statements. The positive and negative items for attitudes were designated as two sub-variables called Positive Attitudes (PA) and Negative Attitudes (NA). The findings revealed that students ’ positive attit...

The objective of this study is to identify the relationship between study habits and academic achievements of Health Science Student's in Masterskill University College of Health Sciences. This study also identifies the different study habit used by health science students and the academic achievement of the health science students. The overall health science students who participated in this survey were 150 (125 female and 25 male). Survey method was used in order to collect data through questionnaire. Factor analysis was carried out to group the variables under three different construct (UON, MOS, and Reading). Descriptive statistic was used to determine the different study habit practiced by the health science students and to identify the academic achievements of the health science students. Pearson Correlation analysis was used to view the relationship between underlining, outline summary and note taking (UON), method of study (MOS), and Reading method with the academic achievement of the health science students. The results of this study discovered that majority of the students are using the three different study habits mentioned in the questionnaire and their academic achievement shows that most of them are getting average level of CGPA. In measuring the relationship, the results shows that there is no significant relationship between UON and reading towards the academic achievements of the health science students. Whereby the relationship between MOS shows that there is a significant relationship to the academic achievement but it does not assist the towards the student's academic performance as it shows a negative and weak relationship.

Guidance and counseling is aimed at helping individuals understand themselves and their environment so that they can function effectively in the society. It is aimed at helping individuals overcome their problems. The primary school child in Nigeria does not seems to have been expose to proper and professional guidance and counseling, hence, his or her focus is limited as far as his personality is concerned. According to Idowu (1989), Counselling is a process through which an individual who needs help is assisted by a professionally prepared individual so that he can be helped to make necessary adjustment to life, and to his environment. In the same vein, the school counsellor can help primary school children with behaviour problems. It is a process whereby an individual is helped through a relationship with a professionally prepared person to voluntarily change his behaviour, clarify his attitudes and goals so that his problems could be solved.

Good study habits are the gateway to a successful achievement in studies. A good study habit towards any subject is a combination of discipline, passion and strong will to achieve a better academic performance. This study aimed to determine the effect of study habits of Accountancy students in Ramon Magsaysay Technological University (RMTU) towards their academic performance. The study utilized a descriptive and inferential research design with the questionnaire as the main instrument in data gathering. Quota and convenient sampling were used in selecting the fifty Accountancy students. It was found out that there was a significant difference in sex and age in terms of time management and age alone in terms of teaching strategies and has a significant difference between study habits and academic performance. An intervention was developed which will serve as a guide for the students to learn on how to manage time effectively.

Study habits are at the core of a learner's academic success. It is an action like reading, taking notes, conducting study groups that students perform frequently, and regularly accomplishing the learning goals. It can be defined as effective or counterproductive based on whether it serves the students well. Thus, the study's primary purpose was to determine the relationship between study habits and the students' academic performance. The descriptive-correlation design was utilized to describe the respondents' profile regarding their study habits and academic performance. A total of one hundred twenty-six (126) Grade 11 senior high school learners participated in this study. Moreover, the main research instrument utilized in the study was the Palsane and Sharma Study Habit Inventory. Its eight sub-scales are budgeting time, physical condition, reading ability, note-taking, learning motivation, memory, taking examinations, and health. The findings showed that the resp...

Students' academic performance embodies an essential part of the constellation of factors determinant of student success. Also, it plays a very significant role in education, primarily as a concrete tool to assess the student's learning process. Psychologists and researchers have attempted to comprehend how students vary in processing, retaining, and retrieving learning information and have used various personality, attitudinal, cognitive styles, and ability measures. Thus, this study's primary purpose was to determine the students' study attitudes, study habits, and academic performance. Further, this examined the influence of study attitudes and study habits on their academic performance. The study respondents were the senior high school students in a Catholic School in Bulacan, Philippines. The Descriptive-correlation research method was utilized to describe the respondents' profile in terms of their study attitudes, study habits, and academic performance. A total of one hundred thirty (130) senior high school students participated in this study. The null hypothesis at .05 alpha level of significance was tested to determine the influence of study attitudes and study habits on the students' academic performance. The computed multiple regression analysis results revealed that study attitudes and study habits do not significantly affect senior high school students' academic performance.

The study employed correlation design in investigating the Study Habits and Mathematics Performance among Senior Secondary School Students in Katsina metropolis. The population of the study stands at 6651 SS II students. Simple random sampling technique was used to select207 male and 158 female senior secondary school students that make a total of 365students, which were used as sample for the study. Two objectives and two null hypotheses were formulated. Study Habit Inventory developed by C. Gilbert Wrenn (2005) was used in collecting data for the study. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used in testing hypothesis one, while t-test was used in testing hypothesis two. Analysis of data reveals that significant negative correlation exists between mathematics Scores and Time Management (with r =-.183). ttest result show that significant difference exists in Study Habits between male and female senior secondary school students (with p = .000). Based on the above finding it is recommended that school principals and teachers should organize orientation programs on time-management in order to train students on how to best utilize time, in order to increase their performance in mathematics.

Defined learning style and established study period are two things that help direct learners to improve their capabilities in learning Mathematics. This study focused on the description and evaluation of the perceptional learning style, study habits and its significance to the students' academic performance , particularly in College Algebra. Three sets of questionnaires were used to gather the numerical data: the Learning Style Inventory guide, the study habit assessment form, and the teacher-made test. This includes one hundred (100) students who were enrolled in College Algebra during the second semester of 2013 at Kalinga-Apayao State College. The study showed that 46% percent of the students are have desirable learning through visual style of the learning, thirty-six(36%) percent prefer auditory learning and only 18% of them prefer tactile style of learning. On the hand, it is observed that the students had an average study habit .Among the indicators; the students got a highest mean of 2.05 in the number of hours in studying their lessons. On the students' performance, it was noted that the students in College Algebra had an" average performance" as evidenced by the computed mean of 2.15. Specifically, there are 50 % of them fall under average performance, 35% of them are within" low performance." While only 15% of them have "high performance." In the assessment of whether there is a significant difference of the study habits and the performance of the students, the null hypothesis is rejected. This implies that the study habits of the students in College Algebra have great impact to their performance in the said subject. The students described themselves as visual style in learning and auditory rather than being tactile. When asked if what areas do they students need remediation in learning College Algebra, they reflected that: 35% of the students need remediation on the following areas: synthetic division and quadratic equations, and systems of equations with problem solving. There are 30 0r 30 % of the students need remediation on the areas like: Rational expressions and equations. Polynomials and Algebraic expressions also are areas where students need remediation.

Introduction: Students' study methods affect their learning and academic achievement, and the resultant process plays a role in the development cognitive and practical skills, and ultimately their future career. Determining the students' study habits and the relationship between their study habits and their academic performance can, therefore, improve their academic achievement, strengthen and modify their study habits. Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the study habits and the academic performance of the students of the Guilan University of Medical Sciences. Materials and Methods: This analytical-descriptive study conducted between 2013 and2014, samples comprising 461 students from different courses at the Guilan University of Medical Sciences were selected based on a stratified random sampling method. The data collection tools included Palsane and Sharma Study Habit Inventory (PSSHI) with 8 areas (division of time, physical status, ability to read, noting, learning motivation, memory, exams, and wellness) and 45 items. The data from this research were analysed using mean descriptive and inferential statistical tests, standard deviation, Spearman's correlation coefficient, and multiple regressions with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: The mean of the overall status of the students' study habits was 48.35 ± 10.37 from 90. The academic performance of the majority (67.2%) of the students was estimated to belong to the intermediate level. Data suggests that the academic performance of the students had the highest correlation with the field of noting (p < 0.0001 and r = 0.234), while the lowest correlation was with the wellness area (p = 0.03 and r = 0.101). In general, the correlation between study habits and academic performance was significant (p < 0.0001 and r = 0.229). In addition, the study habits score can predict 6.8% of the changes in academic performance (R2 = 0.068). Conclusion: The results showed that the study habits of the students are at a relatively good or average level. In addition, owing to the existence of a significant relationship between study habits and academic performance, education administrators and planners can enhance students' study habits with the inclusion of appropriate educational content, especially their skills of noting and reading their notes, and thus improve their academic performance. There is a significant relationship between the study habits of students and their academic performance.

This study aimed to identify the study habits used by English as Second Language Level three students in the Community College of Qatar (CCQ). It also aimed to find out if there is any difference between the subjects' achievement in reading, writing and grammar as measured by their accumulative averages in the three mentioned language subjects due to their study habits. For the purpose of the study, the subjects' averages were categorized into three levels:low, moderate, and high, according to the successful achievement criteria used in CCQ. The researcher designed a five-Likert questionnaire that included six dimensions of study habits: where to study, how to study, when to study, concentration and memory, management and procrastination, and test anxiety. The questionnaire was administered to a sample of 50 students which comprised 37% of a total population of Level 3 female students. Frequencies and percentages to describe demographical variables, means and standard deviations, and one Way ANOVA test were used on the obtained data. The descriptive results showed that the following habits were widespread among students: preparing all study stuff (pencils, pens, highlighters, notebook, book, before starting to study); studying the tough subjects when being most alert; underlining or highlighting the most important ideas on the material being studied; arriving at classes on time (not late); starting with the teachers' handouts when studying, expecting the questions of the test paper in advance. The ANOVA test showed that there are significant differences in the level of students' marks due to concentration and memory in favor of the high achievers. The abstract should be in one single paragraph.

The significant part of this research has figured out if parenting style could potentially affect the study habits of the learner positively. This study have used the correlational research design which correlated the two variables which are the parenting style and study habits of the grade 6 pupils. A questionnaire was used as principal instrument in obtaining the needed data and information for analysis and interpretation. The survey presented facts concerning the parenting style and study habits of the learner. Findings indicated that most of the parents parenting style were authoritative. It was also found out that the study habits of the learner overall claim is agree which means they also care for their academic performance even if the other field of study habits were visible during modular distance learning. The study revealed that the parenting style has no significant relationship with study habits and parenting style is not a factor that affect the study habits of the grade IV learners.

Education is a process which determines the standard of  life and civilization of human society. It helps to apply knowledge for bringing desirable changes in human life and society as well.  It helps to acquire knowledge and to realize the values of life and works continuously for the development  of  individual and society. It produces individuals who devote themselves  for the advancement of the society in the field of  science and technology.  It helps the individuals to be explorative and innovative through the process of construction of knowledge by proper utilizing of the natural resources. The teaching and learning process in the classroom prepare the students to acquire knowledge of vital importance of science and technology in the modern world. Science, as one of the subject of study takes its place side by side with other subjects as essential elements of one’s education. The students are also expected not only  to learn the subject of science  in the classroom room, but they must have proper study habits which  will help them to gain a satisfactory  achievement in this subject. In the field of education, study habits exercise a strong impact on the achievement of the students. The learning of science subject in schools demands to a great extent on the quality of study habits of the students. Many students do have positive attitude towards science subject, but they do not practice good study habits.  In the present study, one of the objective is to study the relationship between study habits and achievement in science subject of Class IX students in Ri Bhoi District of Meghalaya. A sample of 800 class IX students was selected from the different schools of the District. Study Habits Inventory developed by Dr. B.V Patel(1975)  and achievement test in science subject were  administered to the selected sample. The finding of the study revealed that there is a positive relationship between study habits and achievement in science subject.

Resumo: O hábito para os estoicos deve ser entendido de modo diferente da maneira descrita por Platão ou Aristóteles. Dado que, para estes, a formação do caráter é considerada a partir de uma psicologia que aborda a alma por meio de partes distintas, tal interpretação os levou a descrever o hábito como um elemento fundamental para a educação da parte irracional da alma, enquanto a parte racional é educada por meio da razão. Para os estoicos, no entanto, o hábito se faz importante para a alma como um todo, sem distinção entre racional e irracional. Seguindo essa perspectiva, Epicteto não trata da habituação de qualquer elemento irracional. Quando o filósofo fala em " habituar-se " a determinadas ações, ele não se refere a uma atividade de repetição que condiciona aspectos distintamente irracionais, mas, ao contrário, refere-se a uma atividade autonomamente filosófica, que envolve a razão, com atenção especial ao cuidado com as representações.

Abstract: The habit for stoics must be treated differently from the manner described by Plato or Aristotle. Given that for the latter the formation of character is considered from a psychology that approaches the soul through distinct parts, such an interpretation led them to describe habit as a fundamental element for education of the irrational part of the soul, while the rational part is educated through reason. For the Stoics, however, habit is important for the soul as a whole, without distinction between rational and irrational. Following this perspective, Epictetus does not discourse about the habituation of any irrational element. When the philosopher speaks of "becoming accustomed" to certain actions, he does not refer to a repetitive activity that conditions distinctly irrational aspects, but instead refers to an autonomously philosophical activity involving reason, with special attention to the care with representations.

Seems like an odd thing to consider; that someone could be addicted to suffering. We all have to endure suffering of one sort or another, but there are some people who are literally addicted to distress. Now wait a minute, who would want such a thing? First of all, is such a thing actually possible?

Originally, this article was written in 2015. This update re-names this article and focuses mainly on the problem of literally being addicted to oneself or one’s own suffering. Of course, all human beings seek happiness and pleasure and do whatever we can to avoid suffering. So, why would someone allow themselves to become addicted to suffering?

Have you ever known a person who, although being provided with good advice or who are provided with specific steps to improve their lives, continue to complain; sort of wallowing in their suffering? This leaves others to wonder whether or not such a person actually finds some benefit to this kind of addiction.

Despite Hegel himself drawing our attention to the habitual neglect of habit in the formation of the spirit, the concept of habit has remained generally unstudied in the Hegel scholarship. In this paper, I will present how the concept of habit holds several contradictory determinations in itself, and in so doing I will give an answer to the question of what motivates Hegel to cite habit as the hardest topic (am schwersten) to comprehend. By closely analyzing Hegel's account of habit in the Anthropology section of his Encyclopedia, I will reconstruct his account in thirteen contradictory pairs, which are the essential contradictions which make up Hegel's whole system. Specifically, Hegel defines habit as second nature which makes possible the transition from nature to Geist. The debate among Hegel commentators on the meaning of 'second nature' reveals that to situate habit and second nature in Hegel's system means to determine the very character of Hegelian philosophy.

Focusing on three dance works and an autoethnographic account of a site-specific performance in Manchester, UK, this paper explores how contemporary site-specific dance can alter the meaning, practice, and feeling of urban spaces. Philippe Saire's Cartographies (2012) reveals the ludic and sensual potentialities of the city, Wayne Sables's Traffic (2004) foregrounds urban rhythms of place, and a piece by the Guerilla Dance Project (2010) highlights overlooked habitual practices in familiar space. To draw out these themes, we discuss a performance devised by Caitlan in Manchester's Piccadilly Gardens.
