Time Management is a set of principles, practices, skill, tool and systems that work together to help us to get more value out of our his/her time with the aim of improving the quality of our life. The most appropriate word which suites Time Management is self-management which helps us to keep stress to a maximum. Time is the scarcest resource and unless its management decides the success or the failure of an activity. Effective Time Management necessitates a sense of balance. Either extreme along the Time Management skill continuum can be problematic. On one hand, perfect Time Management skill do not make one a perfect student or employee. It is possible to excess time, such that one is so wrapped up in the minutiae that meaningful tasks are not accomplished. On the other hand, poor Time Management skill do not make one a stooge. Some brilliant peoples habitually are ‘a day late and a dollar short’. The main reason for managing time is just provide structure to one’s life and in turn, peace of mind. Managing time is just something one does for one’s own psyche, to make one’s days easier. It is important for a student to have effective strategies to manage his time to balance the conflicting demands of time for the study. Time Management skills are valuable for doing revision for examinations. Sometimes it may seem that there is not enough time to do everything that we need to. This can lead to a buildup of stress. When revising for examinations or during our final year when we have to combine the pressures of intensive study with finding time to apply for our task good management of our time can be particularly important. Once we have identification ways in which we can improve the management of our time, we can begin to adjust our routines and patterns of behaviour to reduce any time-related stress in our lives. Keeping this in view the paper has been prepared on some of the significance of Time Management and Academic Achievement of School Students.

Abstract.ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS AND THEIR DIFFERENT HOMEWORK INVOLVEMENT PROFILES DEPENDING ON ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTThe present study aims to find out whether there are differences in homework involvement (in terms of amount of homework completed, time spent on doing homework and homework time management) among students with various levels of achievement. Gender and school level have been controlled as they may impact on the relation intended to be studied and this way they have been included in the covariate performed in the design. The sample consisted of 535 students from the three last years of Elementary School. Findings suggest that the more students achieve higher the more they improve their level of involvement relating to the amount of homework completed and the quality of homework time management. On the other hand, although no statistic significant differences have been found concerning the relation between achievement and time spent on homework, students who achieve lower tend to spend more time completing homework compared to those achieving higher who prove to spend less time completing the assignments. Furthermore, as students go from fourth to sixth forms their time spent on homework increases however, the quality of their homework time management deteriorates.Keywords: amount of homework completed, time spent on homework, homework time management, academic achievement, Elementary School.Resumen.El objetivo de este trabajo fue comprobar si hay diferencias en la implicación en los deberes escolares (en términos de cantidad de deberes escolares realizados, tiempo dedicado a los deberes y aprovechamiento del tiempo) en función de los distintos niveles de rendimiento académico de los estudiantes. Debido al posible efecto que pueden tener en esta asociación el género y curso, se controló sus efectos incorporándolas como covariables en el diseño. La muestra está integrada por 535 estudiantes de los tres últimos cursos de Educación Primaria. Los resultados indican que a medida que los niveles de rendimiento académico de los estudiantes son más altos, hay un aumento progresivo en la cantidad de deberes realizados y en el aprovechamiento del tiempo dedicado a los deberes. Por otra parte, aunque no parece haber diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el tiempo dedicado a los deberes en función de los distintos niveles de rendimiento, la tendencia que se observa es que cuando el rendimiento es bajo, el tiempo dedicado a los deberes es mayor, mientras que cuando el rendimiento es alto, el tiempo que dedican los estudiantes a los deberes es menor. Además, otro resultado destacado es que según van avanzando los estudiantes de 4º a 6º curso de Primaria se produce un aumento progresivo del tiempo que dedican a hacer los deberes escolares y, sin embargo, el aprovechamiento que hacen de ese tiempo va siendo cada vez menor.Palabras clave: cantidad de deberes escolares realizados, tiempo dedicado a los deberes escolares, aprovechamiento del tiempo dedicado a los deberes, rendimiento académico, Educación Primaria.

The study attempted to examine students extent of Watching TV films and drama. The study followed mainly a correlation design and was conducted on 306 students drawn from three randomly selected primary schools in Woldia town,. Data on respondents’ were collected using close ended questionnaires. Pearson correlation was used to see the relation between variables, the result showed that the independent variables do have a significant relationship with the dependent variable except in low TV films and drama viewers. Extent of Watching TV films and drama of students in the study area were 23.2 % Heavy TV films and drama Viewers/above 3.5 hrs per day/,33.6 % Medium TV films and drama Viewers /between 2.5 up to  3.5 hrs per day  and 43.14 %low TV films Viewer/below 2.5 hrs per day/. Results of the multiple linear  regression revealed that Watching TV films and Time management skill of students interaction taken together explained 18.6%,11.5% and 3.5% in heavy ,medium and low TV films and dramas Viewers of the variance in achievement Motivation.

AbstractRecent literature has recognized the advantageous role of low-arousal positive affect such as feelings of peacefulness and internal harmony in collectivist cultures. However, limited research has explored the benefits of low-arousal affective states in the educational setting. The current study examined the link of peace of mind (PoM) to academic motivation (i.e., amotivation, controlled motivation, and autonomous motivation) and academic achievement among 525 Filipino high school students. Findings revealed that PoM was positively associated with academic achievement β = .16, p < .05, autonomous motivation β = .48, p < .001, and controlled motivation β = .25, p < .01. As expected, PoM was negatively related to amotivation β = –.19, p < .05, and autonomous motivation was positively associated with academic achievement β = .52, p < .01. Furthermore, the results of bias-corrected bootstrap analyses at 95% confidence interval based on 5,000 bootstrapped resamples demonstrated that peace of mind had an indirect influence on academic achievement through the mediating effects of autonomous motivation. In terms of the effect sizes, the findings showed that PoM explained about 1% to 18% of the variance in academic achievement and motivation. The theoretical and practical implications of the results are elucidated.

Time management is one of the biggest problems of medical students. In this study, we examined the circadian rhythms of medical students and factors which may affect academic performance: perceived stress, sleep quality, time management. Students answered a Morningness-Eveningness questionnaire, the Time Management Personal Assessment questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Perceived Stress Scale questionnaire. The correlation (R=0.87) between chronotype and GPA (P<0.001) showed a higher GPA in students with morning chronotypes. The PSQI analysis demonstrated 47% of the students had poor sleep quality; a correlation (R= - 0.56) between the PSQI and GPA (p< 0.04), supporting a link between higher GPA and good sleep. Results also showed a correlation (R=0.59) between time management and GPA (p< 0.01), implying that the students with excellent time management skills (17%) had excellent GPAs. Chronotypes, quality of sleep and time management, influence GPA and can be used as a guidance tool for academic advisors.
