Study of Academic Achievement of Mathematics Subject in the Context of Study Habits of Students

Abstract

Students have different study habits from one another and from location to location. It is a crucial component of education since students' study practices have a big effect on their achievement in academics. Parents, educators, administrators, and members of the public are increasingly concerned about the poor level of mathematical comprehension in our country. Researchers and educators have worked very hard to determine the causes of the low performance in the subject. Despite all of these initiatives, the issues persist. Students' study habits are a powerful indicator of both their academic performance in mathematics and the quality of their education. It is unrealistic to expect students to acquire all there is to know about a subject from their teachers in the classroom; students' study habits are a combination of what they learn in and outside of the classroom. Sorenson (1991) listed several beneficial study habits, one of which is that the main goal of study should be understanding. One must focus on this for an extended period of time rather than rushing through. Effective study techniques, according to Crow & Crow (1992), include setting up a specific workspace, creating a timetable, and taking concise, well-organized notes.
