This study aims to explore the level of study skills of Grade 7 learners in English. This study utilized the researcher made survey questionnaire to solicit the answers from the learners regarding their study skills. The respondents of this study were the twenty one (21) purposively sampled Grade 7 learners of Tabgon High School, Goa, Camarines Sur, Philippines who were enrolled in the class of teacher-researchers for the school year 2018-2019.The statistical tool used was Frequency and Percentage Distribution to quantify the data from the respondents to generate baseline data to be the basis in generating instructional strategies. As reflected in the results, most of the learners have fair study skills in terms of time management, note taking, test preparation and reading textbook however, most of the learners possessed average study skills in terms of concentration in studying. Totally, results showed that majority of the students have fair or low level of study skills in English which means that they have deficiency in all study skills. Results recommended that teachers should devise mechanisms and interventions to motivate the learners to embrace these study skills. Also, learners should have strong grip on the interventions created by the teachers to improve their academic performance.

Learning And Study Strategies

Universities and colleges are very interested in understanding the factors that influence their students academic performance. This paper describes a study that was conducted at a mid-sized public university in the mid-south, USA, to examine this issue. In this study, the 10-scale, Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) (Weinstein et al., 1987) assessment device was administered to 107 students to measure receptivity to several skills and strategies that purportedly enhance a students ability to learn and successfully perform in an academic setting. The results of this study showed that the LASSI scales dealing with attitude, concentration, information processing skill, motivation, self-testing and review techniques, use of study support techniques, time management, and effective test-taking strategies all correlated positively (with statistical significance) to student GPA. There were also statistically significant differences between males and females in their mean scores for several of the above mentioned LASSI scales. Every LASSI subscale, where females significantly outscored males, positively correlated with superior academic performance (i.e., GPA). However, after controlling for variance explained by the LASSI scores, there were no statistically significant correlations between gender and academic performance. The primary conclusion from this study is that contrary to prior research that suggests that females predominantly outperform males in academics, such differences can be better explained by mediating variables such as learning and study strategies. This debunking of the female stereotype of superior academic performance merely because of gender has pedagogical implications.

Using the descriptive research design, this study aimed to do a results-based analysis of online and modular distance learning of the students’ academic performance in English on first and second quarter of school year 2020-2021 in Don Manuel Rivera Memorial National High School. The respondents of the study were composed of 50 Online Distance Learning (ODL) Students and 250 Modular Distance Learning (MDL) Students from Grades 7 to Grade 10 levels of Don Manuel Rivera Memorial National High School. This is a descriptive study using the questionnaire as the main tool in gathering the data. The data gathered were treated using frequency distribution and percentage statistics, weighted mean, standard deviation, and T-test. The mean level of parents’ support to ODL students was 2.72 interpreted as “Moderately Supportive” indicates that parents are somehow extending additional support to their children in accomplishing the tasks given to them. On the other hand, the mean level of parents support to MDL students was 2.95 interpreted as “Moderately Supportive” indicates that only few parents extend their support to their children despite the awareness that their children have no direct contact to their subject teachers to give them assistance in understanding the lessons. This concludes that students under online distance learning gets more instructional support rather than the students under modular distance learning which gives a huge impact to their academic performances.

Parental involvement is the foundation of a child's education that has been recognized to positively impact students' academic outcomes. However, a lack of parents’ support and involvement in the children's education persists in a catholic school in the Philippines. It leads to issues concerning its role in children's academic performance with single parents. Thus, this study describes the extent of involvement of solo parents based on Epstein's framework covering parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making, and collaborating in relation to their demographics. It also describes the level of academic performance of high school students with solo parents in a catholic school during the School Year 2019 – 2020 as a whole and according to the academic level. It also explores the differences in the extent of involvement and level of the students' academic performance and the relationship between these two variables.

La gestión eficaz del tiempo es un aspecto esencial en los resultados académicos.  El uso del teléfono móvil y su influencia en la adecuada administración del tiempo del estudiante configura el núcleo de este trabajo. La hipótesis de partida presupone una equivalencia negativa entre un excesivo uso del teléfono móvil y los resultados académicos. Para su verificación, elaboramos un índice de procrastinación (IP), normalizado posteriormente (IPN)  para que tomara valores iguales o mayores que cero, calculado a partir del cuestionario utilizado como uno de los instrumentos de investigación. Partiendo de las 897 respuestas recabadas, enviadas desde 21 países, se ha procedido a su clasificación en seis bloques diferenciados, con el fin de facilitar su análisis. Por otra parte, para comprobar la correlación estadística existente entre las variables estudiadas, se ha diseñado otro cuestionario dirigido a alumnos del IES Los Albares, Cieza, de entre 3º de la ESO y 2º de Bachillerato que se ha cruzado con los datos de uso de sus teléfonos durante 352 semanas para 52 participantes. Tras el procesamiento y posterior análisis de la información obtenida, se ha comprobado que una puntuación elevada en cuanto a IPN complementada con un uso excesivo del teléfono móvil, (“tecno-procrastinación”) no implica una disminución en el rendimiento académico. Por tanto, los resultados contradicen la hipótesis formulada. Effective time management is an essential aspect of academic results. The use of the mobile phone and its influence on the proper management of the student's time forms the core of this work. The starting hypothesis presupposes a negative equivalence between excessive use of the mobile phone and academic results. For its verification, we elaborated a procrastination index (PI), later normalized (NPI) to take values ​​equal to or greater than zero, calculated from the questionnaire used as one of the research instruments. Based on the 897 responses collected, sent from 21 countries, they have been classified into six distinct blocks in order to facilitate their analysis. On the other hand, to verify the statistical correlation between the variables studied, another questionnaire has been designed for students of the IES Los Albares, Cieza, between the 3rd year of secondary school and the 2nd year of high school, which has been crossed with the usage data of their phones during 352 weeks for 52 participants. After processing and subsequent analysis of the information obtained, it has been found that a high NPI score complemented by excessive use of the mobile phone (“techno-procrastination”) does not imply a decrease in academic performance. Therefore, the results contradict the hypothesis formulated.

Study habits and skills differ from one person to another. Effective study habits are instrumental for students to gain mastery of a topic learned and ensure good academic performance. Study habits that students employ to cope with their lessons are ways, techniques, and learning styles which may include, but not limited to, time management or the number of hours spent studying their lessons and making assignments; study environment, test-taking skills which include students’ readiness or preparedness in taking tests; note-taking skills or student’s efficiency in taking down notes during class hours or while reading; reading skills which are the student’s ability to understand and comprehend lessons, tests, and reading materials; writing skills or the ability to observe correct grammar and to write effectively; and math skills or the facility and ease in solving math problems. With the advancement of technology, students nowadays engage themselves more in gadgets and spend more time in electronic media and social media; thus, students' study habits are slowly deteriorating when it comes to frequency and quality. Hence, this study was conducted to determine the level of study habits in relation to selected demographics of high school students in a Catholic School in Antique during the school year 2019-2020. Likewise, it measured the relationship between the demographic variables and their extent of study habits and determined which areas predict the students' study habits.

Influenza pandemic was a global event in 2009 and intraschool transmission was its main spread method. The present study was designed to evaluate the absenteeism rate during the type A influenza epidemic. Four hundred and eight students from both a guidance school and high school in the Iranian capital were recruited in this retrospective study. The number of days of absenteeism, since the beginning of the school year until the end of the epidemic was recorded. Two hundred and thirteen students missed school during the disease epidemic because of related causes. In other words, 581 person day absences were reported during this period. The influenza pandemic has led to an increase in the absenteeism rate and may negatively affect the academic performance of the students. Teaching precautionary measures is an effective tool in reducing the number of days of sickness.
