presented to determine the connection of various findings and theories in relation to the
Study habits are termed as the methods of study of students. Marquez (2009)
pointed out that a student who is successful in his desired career has good study habits.
In line with this, she stated that students should apply these habits to all of their classes.
She also suggested that the students should not try to study all the subjects in a single
period. However, every students has his own study habits depending on his preferences
with regards to the duration of time devoted in studying , what place or environment would
be the best venue to study , the study skills and techniques will the student utilizes during
his study and more. It will depend upon the person if he is voluntarily interested in studying
or be prompted by the distraction of the social networking sites such as facebook , twitter
, instagram, tumblr, etc. which all of these can be easily accessed through their phones
and majority of the students possesses a smartphone as what they’ve called it. Studying
is the key to excel in one’s academic performance, because it not only prepares a student
to excel in class but reinforces the lessons that already been taught.

In this chapter, the researcher discuss the research design, area of study,
population, sample of the population, sampling technique, instrument for data collection,

Research design
The researcher chose a survey research design because it best served to answer
the questions and the purposes of the study. The survey research is one in which a group
of people or items is studied by collecting and analysing data from only a few people or
items considered to be representative of the entire group. In other words, only a part of
the population is studied, and findings from this are expected to be generalized to the

The target population for this research defined to include the selected senior high
students in Saint Jude Parish school, while the accessible population is the Grade 11
students in Saint Jude Parish School, since these are the students within the researcher’s

9
In addition, the senior high students are considered appropriate as population of
the study area because, as stated in chapter one, these establishments affects their
school activities negatively. Most of them have had studying for so long on the school and
therefore, they are in the best position to furnish the researcher with the information
Sampling techniques
A Simple random sampling procedure was used for selecting the participants in
this study. This technique was employed to ensure a fairly equal representation of the
variables for the study. Data were collected through surveys that were given out to 30
participants in Saint Jude Parish School. Participants in the project completed the survey
anonymously and filled out a separate consent form. Recipients who choose not to
participate were asked to simply return the materials. Respondents have appointments in

schedule.

face and content validity. Face and content validity have been defined by McBurney

• Content validity is the notion that a test should sample the range of

the research questions were given to 3 Teachers who majored literature and business
management. These experts went through the research questions and the questionnaire
After the pilot testing and all necessary modifications, the questionnaires were
administered directly to the chosen sample for the study. Thirty copies of the

Questionnaire given out were successfully completed and returned. The possibility of
retrieving back all the questionnaire was as a result of the researchers colleagues who
offered a helping hand. The opposite could have been the case if the researcher had
taken the lonely task of going round the schools to collect the questionnaire.

V. Discussion
The components of the establishments that makes people get interested are
beautiful ambiance, it has the needs of the students like school supplies, clothes,
offers a variety of food choices. It also offers entertainment after a stressful day at
school. Establishments near the school become their other source of happiness or
enjoyment which also result to building new memories usually with friends or
classmates.
Because of having many establishments near Saint Jude Parish School, students
tend to think of going there instead of focusing on their studies. This may lead to
failing grades of may encourage students to commit cutting classes and they will just
classes.
However, establishments near the school may also help the students in sudden
needs of stuffs in school. Since they are complete with the school needs and
supplies, students may just go there to buy what they need. These may also become
an alternative place to buy supplies in school because there are times that the
school canteen doesn’t have the things that the students need. Another usual
establishment near the school are computer shops. Students may encounter a time
something, and the computer shops can give this service to the students who need
it.
23
The students already need to limit their craze on these establishments when they
have their grades getting lower than usual. Students also have to limit themselves
when they already go home late. They also have to restrict themselves a little bit
from going to establishments when going on this places becomes a habit which they
can’t remove on their everyday routines. Most of the time, students find it hard to
stop being tempted to go to this places instead of going to school because of the
Having establishments near the school easily attract and grab the attention of the
students which may cause failing grades. This may also result to uncontrollable want
All in all, we can say that having establishments near the school may have either
positive or negative effects on students. This effects may vary depending on the way
Therefore, we can conclude that the usual negative effect of this establishments
on students are falling grades, going home late, being too tempted to not attend
classes and spend their time on this establishments, and being unable to control
themselves of this habits. This may also result to addiction. But the positive effects
of this establishments are they bring enjoy and fulfilment to students, they have
complete school supplies which is handy on some times. These establishments can
24
VI. Conclusion
Being near on establishments are very convenient for any people of all ages. As a
result, the marketing of the computer shops, shopping malls, theatre, and many
Nowadays, many establishments are easily interacted by the students because of its
location near school which make students like go to malls habitually every free time
instead of studying.
To review, the establishments near school have a negative impact to the study
habits of senior high students in Saint Jude Parish School. Out of 30 respondents,
50% of them spends their time by going malls, playing computer games or to the
other foundation that entertains them than to do their school activities. We can see
that most of the students are astonished and being affected because of the near
establishment has been built near the school. However, it depends on the student
who participate in these establishments on how they handle their behaviour and time
25
VII. Recommendation
The research about the effects of the establishment near schools to the
study habits of Senior high school students in Saint Jude Parish school impose
that the senior high should be well aware that after school, many things are
easily get by distractions that may affects us in our studies. For example, when
forgotten that many activities in schools must be done right away. Requirements
are always passed late because students usually put DOTA, LOL, PUBG,
Counterstrike and ROS as their main priority. They also go to the nearest malls
and their parents don't know about it. The discussion about the effects of the
establishment near schools to the study habits of senior high school in SJPS
have emphasize the importance shopping malls to the students as well as the
materials and supplies for the student to fulfil and execute the said school works.
On the other hand as per the result of the survey some of the students are
specifically attracted to play computer games and hang out with their friends so
with regards to this local government should also be alarmed implement some
students are only allowed to enter malls after school around 5pm and will only
have 1 hour to check and buy what they need or else parents or guardian is with
