First Year College Students

First year students take time to adjust to college life. A number of priorities are considered in order to survive in the tertiary level. One of which is complying with the academic requirements. The study described the study skills of the first year students in the College of Education, La Salle University, Ozamiz City, Philippines. The framework used in identifying the study skills of the first year students was adopted from Lucas and Corpuz (2007:4).These study skills were correlated to the students’ academic performance using Kendall’s Tau B, Chi-square, and Multiple Regression tests. There were 128 first year students who were taken as respondents of the study. The study reveals that the first year students have the skills in organizing and planning their work, preparing assignments or projects, and note-taking and reading. The students’ skills in organizing and planning one’s work; working with others and utilizing resources and feedback; note-taking and reading; and preparing an assignment/project correlate with their grades. The best predictor of students’ academic performance is note-taking and reading. First year college students need to develop the habit of studying their lessons, reading, and taking down notes to improve their academic performance.Keywords: Education, study skills, academic performance, descriptive design, Philippines

Scholastic Aptitude

30 college males in liberal arts curricula were assigned to study passages by 3 different methods: reading, reading with underlining, and reading with note taking. When verbal intelligence (Scholastic Aptitude Test-Verbal) was held constant, the 3 groups did not differ on questions about comprehension of passages. The findings question the assumed value of underlining and note-taking during study and imply that future research might better be aimed at improving verbal rather than study skills in undergraduate populations.

Student Confidence

In order to assess the most effective means of revising course material in-class, the researchers manipulated the type of revision (spaced after each chapter versus a single, pre-exam revision) and collected exam scores, student study time estimates, and student confidence estimates. In addition, the researchers manipulated whether the class received a study skills training lecture at the beginning of the semester. Results indicated that a single, massed revision might have a counterintuitive effect, increasing student confidence, while decreasing study time and exam scores. This negative effect, however, was mitigated by a brief study skills training that highlighted the dangers of overconfidence and massed practice.

Critical Questioning

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) is categorized into two main classification areas English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Occupational Purposes (EOP). In this article authors briefly describe the differences between these two sub-branches of ESP. At the same time this article deals with the implementing English for Academic Purposes (EAP) in teaching Combined Major Program 6B015002 ‘Chemistry and Biology’ at Suleyman Demirel University (SDU). Some of higher-leveled students like to enhance their comprehension of Academic English. Thus, EAP course was introduced to meet higher-leveled students’ academic and professional interests. The main purpose of the EAP course was to provide learners with all basic abilities to conduct research and generate a piece of extended writing in their own subjectspecific area. Students not only needed to work on their study skills such as techniques, note-taking, and compiling bibliography, but also on acquiring study competencies which involved development of critical questioning, allocating the tasks, compiling an abstract book, and organizing conference skills
