Study habits and academic performance in students of a Private University in Ayacucho

Abstract

Study habits are formed in childhood under the influence of the family environment. This means that if appropriate study habits are not established during primary education, these deficiencies are likely to persist in secondary and higher education, resulting in lower academic success, leading to frustration and student dropout. The overall objective is to "determine the relationship between study habits and academic performance of students in the professional school of Commercial Engineering and International Business at Federico Froebel University in Ayacucho in 2019." The scientific method was the general approach for the research, using a questionnaire and a checklist. The identified results for the first variable, study habits, show that 10% of students scored poorly, while 50% scored as average, 30% scored as good, and 10% scored as excellent. For the second variable, academic performance, 20% of students received a poor grade, 30% received an average grade, 30% received a good grade, and only 20% received an excellent grade. The conclusion drawn is that the correlation coefficient of 0.715 indicates a high significant correlation between the variables.
