INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Study habit is; buying out a dedicated scheduled and un-

interrupted time to apply one’s self to the task of learning. Without

it, one does not grow and becomes self –limiting in life. Study

habits tell a person that how much he will learn and how far he

wants to go, and how much he wants to earn. These all could be

decided with the help of one's study habits, throughout the life.

(Stella & Purtshothaman,1993) opined that the researchers have

analyzed the pupil’s achievement with reference to the

classification high, average and low achievers, in this conventional

classification, the point of reference in the average score of group

or a standard norm, but study habits differ from person to person ,

hence in an attempt to help the learners progress by developing

suitable study habits, We need a different set of parameters that

takes into account of the individual capabilities (Mubarak, 2017).

According to Palani (2012), reading habit is an essential and

important aspect for creating a literate society in this world. It

shapes the personality of individuals and it helps them to develop

proper thinking methods, and creates new ideas. However, the

developments in the Mass Media had continued to influence

interest in reading; books, magazines and journals, among others.

In the present time, learners’ study habits affect their

learning and academic performance, and the outcome progress

illustrates the development of cognitive and practical skills and their

future profession. Identifying the learners’ study habits and their

effect with the academic performance can, thus, improve their

academic performance, strengthen and modify their study habits.

Prioritizing studies immensely determines the level of academic

performance of the learner. The level of preparation and learning

strategies improved and applied consciously by learners, leading to

affect their level of academic performance (Olivia, 2021).
