Accounting-Related Subjects in Online Classes: A Correlational Study

TITLE 2: Study Habits: Its Impact to the Academic Performace of BSA Students in

Online Classes

Theoretical Framework

The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered the greatest disturbance in history of

education, with almost universal impacts on students and teachers worldwide. This

pandemic affected all sectors all over the world including the educational

sector. Worldwide, many universities decided to convert the mean of teaching from the

traditional one (face-to-face) to online learning, at the same time all in-campus activities

have been cancelled or postponed until further notice (Sahu, 2020).

Online education continues to evolve and grow dramatically at colleges and

universities across the globe. The development and use of online courses for instruction

have grown at an incredible pace in recent years enabling students to learn from home

or business locations far removed from a brick and mortar campus.

Most universities are well-equipped for online learning through investing in

learning management systems (LMSs) such as Microsoft Teams, Kneura - Blended

Learning Platform, and Google Classroom (Lim, 2020). These LMSs enable the

instructors to interact with their students virtually through live or recorded lectures,

chatting, online exams and quizzes and assignments.

 Several factors may affect students’ academic performance at universities such

as the study habits. Study habits are at the core of a learner’s academic success. It is

an action like reading, taking notes, conductiong study groups that students perform

frequently, regularly accomplishing the learning goals. It can be defined as effective or

counterproductive based on whether it serves the students well.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine the correlation between the study habits and

academic performance of BSA students in accounting-related subjects in online

classes. This paper aims to answer the following questions:

1. What is the level of study habits of BSA students in accounting-related

subjects in online classes?

2. What is the level of the academic performance of BSA students in

accounting-related subjects in online classes?

3. Is there a significant relationship between the study habits and academic

performance of BSA students in accounting-related subjects in online

classes?
Hypothesis

Ho: There is no significant relationship between the study habits and academic

performance of BSA students in accounting-related subjects in online classes

Ha: There is significant relationship between the study habits and academic

performance of BSA students in accounting-related subjects in online classes
