This chapter presents the results and discussion of the data gathered based on

the research problems and hypotheses speculated for this study. The presentation of

data is in order arranged according to the statements of the problem in an attempt to

answer them congruently. The following tables answer the main problem.

Research Question #1: What are the study habits of the interns in terms of:

1. I study where there is good indirect 3.68 often

lighting.
2. I study in a room where the temperature 3.54 often
is not too warm.

3. The desk or tabletop area where I study is 4.55 always

always clear except for the materials for the
subject I am currently studying.
4. I study in a quiet place, or use earplugs, 3.6 often
or a fan to provide a masking noise to
minimize distracting sounds.
5. I study facing a wall or a corner to 4.5 often
minimize distracting sights.
6. At the place or places where I study, I 3.64 always
only study (I don’t do other things such as
spend time on Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, etc.).
7. At each study session, I review the 3.33 sometimes
subjects that I am going to study, and I
prepare ahead of time all the materials
(papers, pencils, books, laptop) that I will
need.

When and How Much to Study

8. I use my “most alert” times for studying (I 3.66 often

avoid wasting my best times on my phone
using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.).
9. I review my class notes within one day 3.87 often
after the class in which they were taken.
10. At each study session, I set a goal in 3.06 sometimes
order to take a break, based upon some
amount (such as reading a certain number
of pages, writing a certain number of
paragraphs, etc.) rather than on the basis of
time (such as studying for one-half hour or
one hour).
11. Each goal that I set before taking a 3.14 sometimes
break never takes more than about an hour
to complete.
12. I take breaks for progress, not for fatigue 3.7 sometimes
or daydreaming. (See the explanation for
this item at the bottom of this questionnaire.)
13. I study the “tough” subjects when I am 2.7 seldom
most alert. (For most students, this will be
during the morning.)
14. At the start of each week, I carefully plan 3.1 sometimes
my study schedule for the week.

How to Study

15. When I am working on a major project, 3.3 sometimes

such as a term paper, I break it down into
small steps, each of which requires no more
than an hour or two.

16. When studying textual material, I try to 3.4 sometimes

determine what kinds of questions will be
asked on exams, and read the text with the
idea of discovering answers to those
questions. (Just generally reading with no
goal in mind is not particularly effective.)
17. When I am learning a principle or 2.4 seldom
definition, I try to think of at least two
examples of how it might be applied or
used.

18. When I am learning material, I ask 3.9 sometimes

myself questions and study until I can give
the answer, on two or three separate
occasions, without looking at the text or my
notes.

19. When studying a text with an outline or an organized

sequence, I follow the SQ3R method as follows:

a. Survey: I briefly examine a chapter’s 3.4 sometimes

headings and subheadings in order to list as
many questions as possible about the
material to be studied (this also helps to get
warmed up and into the material).

b. Question: I try to think of and list 4.2 often

additional questions that I should be able to
answer from reading the chapter.

c. Read: While reading, I try to underline, 3 sometimes

take notes, or in some way identify material
that will help me answer the questions that I
previously listed.

d. Recite: At key points throughout the 3.1 sometimes

chapter, I put the book down or look away
from it while I try to recite material that I
have just read which is relevant to one of
the questions previously formulated.

e. Review: After surveying, questioning, 3.2 sometimes

reading, and reciting some textual material, I
then review the material and continue to go
over my recitation to the questions and my
notes until “I know the answers cold” for an
exam.

always study at a desk or tabletop, often in a quiet place, sometimes
