INTRODUCTION
One of the major factors affecting one's achievements is one’s study habits. People have different ways of learning and achieving personal goals. Study habits is buying out a dedicated schedule and uninterrupted time to apply one's self to the task of learning. This study then seeks to explore the relationship between study habits and academic performance of Grade 11 students.
METHODS
Descriptive-correlational quantitative design was used. Using the Slovin's formula and the convenience sampling technique, 140 Grade 11 students were chosen as the respondents. To determine the academic performance of the respondents for the first semester, mean was computed. To determine the level of study habits, mean was also computed and to determine the relationship between study habits and academic performance, Pearson (r) was used.
RESULTS
Based on the findings, most of the respondents preferred to study alone than with company. They also preferred to study while listening to music, take down notes efficiently during the lecture, do their assignments on time, participate in the class discussion, and ask questions when and if they do not understand the lesson. Lastly, there is a negative correlation between the study habits and the academic performance of the students.
DISCUSSIONS
The results demonstrate that study habits of the respondents do not affect their academic performance. However, the students strive more in studying to improve acquisition of knowledge. Parents are to encourage their children to study well. Teachers are to check students' performance to help students perform better in class.
