Abstract

Education is important as it helps in the personal development of individuals and in the establishment of skills that are vital in surviving and bettering society. Research has reveal ed that many factors affect the education and learning of an individual, including non-cognitive factors such as study habits and study attitudes. This study further examined the effects of these factors, applying previous research on senior high school students (N=38) of the University of the Philippines Rural High School in Bay, Laguna, Philippines who experienced online classes during the Covid-19 pandemic. A questionnaire developed by Holtzman and Brown in (1954) was modified and used to gather data. The modified questionnaire determines the study habits and study attitudes of its respondents, in terms of the following components: delay avoidance, work method, teacher approval, and education acceptance. The respondents’ study habits and attitudes leaned slightly towards the negative side. It was revealed in the statistical analysis of the data that none of the mentioned components had any significant effect on academic performance. However, it was seen in the qualitative data that the respondents’ data is ambiguous— in some respondents, these negative habits/attitudes work for them, or do not necessarily affect their work and their process of learning. An example of this is scheduling/time management; a student mentioned that despite their tendency to do things at the last minute, they still end up doing well in their work. Motivation is another example, as some students mentioned that due to a range of different problems, they tend to lose the motivation to do their work,

but in the end, they are still able to finish what they need to. Recommendations for further research are discussed, such as alterations in the questionnaire, the sampling method, and the target population— to gather more reliable and accurate data.
