Factors Affecting Grade 11 Students’ Study Habits During the Pandemic

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the Factors Affecting Grade 11 Students’ Study Habits During The Pandemic. It employed the quantitative approach, and descriptive research design using survey technique. The researcher-made questionnaire was administered to the randomly selected Grade 11 students of St. Paul University Surigao. The statistical tools used were Frequency and Percentage Distribution, Mean and Standard Deviation, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (Pearson r). It was determined that the following factors, namely: 1) homework overload, 2) internet connection, 3) social media addiction, 4) home environment, and 5) family stress, have highly affected the grade eleven students’ study habits during the pandemic. However, it was found that peer pressure is the only factor with the lowest impact, for it only mildly affects the students’ study habits during the pandemic. It is therefore recommended that the factors mentioned affecting the students’ study habits during the pandemic should be given utmost importance by curriculum stakeholders such as 1) school administrators, 2) teachers, 3) parents, 4) students themselves, and 5) government and non-government agencies, specifically the Department of Education (DepEd) / Association of Private Sectarian Schools.
