ABSTRACT
Study skills refer to a range of techniques and strategies that individuals use to enhance their learning
process and academic performance. This study looked at how different teaching strategies affected the
academic performance of 208 10th-grade students enrolled in District Patiala government secondary schools
that are part of the Punjab School Education Board. The descriptive research approach was employed to
conduct the present study by using multiple correlations and regression to analyze the data collected from
the students with the assistance of the Study Skills Assessment Tool developed by Vijayabano & Sri (2017).
According to the study's findings, reading aloud, taking notes, studying, memorization, getting ready for a
text, time management, and comprehension were all significant predictors of academic achievement of
students.
Keywords: Study Skills, Academic Achievement, School Students.
Introduction
"Study skills" is a broad phrase that encompasses many different elements and refers to intentional,
conscious learning practices that support learning and can be applied at any stage of the learning process.
(Alfaris et al., 2019; Pepe, 2012). Learning effectively requires a set of skills, approaches, and strategies
known as Study Skills (Chetry, 2023). Study skills are a variety of abilities that handle the most common
way of coordinating, taking, and holding information, or dealing with assessments (Vaseuddin, 2021).
According to Madhavi et al. (2014), study skills refer to a reader's propensity for grouping, underlining, re-
reading, re-citing, and using tools like flashcards to efficiently absorb new information. Study skills are the
rational procedures that students use to effectively and efficiently process new information (Rosli et al.
2018). Study skills are the most active aspects related to the academic achievement of the learners.
(Gettinger & Siebert, 2002; Jansen & Suhre, 2010; Temelli & Kurt, 2010; Yu, 2011; Patidar, 2019; Chetry,
2023). Inadequate study techniques could lead to students quitting school early (Yorke and Longden 2004).
Gall et al. (1990) characterized the study techniques as "studying skills as use of proper strategies
when accomplishing a learning task".

As stated by Rafoth & DeFabo (1990), “studying skills function as a process including one’s
planning what he has to do, organizing and coding information to achieve learning needed”.
Smgh, et al., (2010) opined that study skills are logical procedures that students start to complete
such chores as formative appropriate information, taking notes, and studying for examination. Study skills
are instructional strategies and tactics that support efficient learning, particularly when seen as a collection
of abilities that can be learned or taught; the capacity for efficient study (Leena, 2021). Based on their
aptitude for the material and level of interest, different students employ a plethora of different study
strategies. There is no definite list of study skills but, the most commonly used study skills are preparing for
tests, previewing and locating new information, listening and reading with attention, taking notes, etc.
However, lists of study skills have occasionally been provided by various educationists.
The five categories of study skills were developed by Mcmurry (1909) and include: Establishing a
clear goal for study, Recognizing additional details, Arranging concepts and information gathered, Assessing
the value of the claims, Recalling, Using ideas or execution theories in particular conditions, Maintaining
flexible attitude towards knowledge and Reljang on self-direction or individuality in learning. In the year
1970 Dechant, has given a list of study skills in five categories viz., Use of Dictionary, Locating
information, Arrangement, Visual Aid Utilization, and Library Resource Utilization.
Walter & Cassel (1971) have categorized the study skills into seven sub-skills. These include self-
mastery, goal orientation, activity structure, scholarly skills, textbook mastery, lecture mastery, & exam
mastery, Self-confidence, and attitude toward work. Moore, et al., (1983) reported that the domain of study
skills includes abilities including taking notes, summarizing, outlining, and underlining. The seven study
abilities identified by Vijaybanu and Sri (2017)—reading a text, taking notes, studying, memorization, exam
preparation, time management, and comprehension—were the focus of the current investigation. Therefore,
only these skills are briefly discussed:
Reading a text: Reading is an important study skill as it is the base on which learners build their
knowledge. It actively promotes understanding, increases concentration, and improves retention of
an individual (Bhradwaj, 2013). Reading a text refers to gathering information by reading all types of
books (printer and electric), newspapers, novels, or other readable sources that have texts. Reading
includes comprehending sentences, paragraphs, and illustrations, and interpreting the meanings of
words (Demircioglu Memis, 2007; Sekar, 2015: Mamajanova and Artikova, 2023)
Note-taking: Notes can be taken while reading a text, participating in a discussion, or listening to a
lecture. Encoding the essential parts of the information is the act of taking notes in an individual's
own words and writing them down in a notebook (Kiewra, 1989: Neri, 2007; Sekar, 2015; Daisy,
2018).
Studying: It is the overall process that involves how a student studies the information. This involves
external environmental factors, like a place of study, ambiance, noise levels, distracting activities,
etc. It takes place through self-study, assignments, and supervised study under the guidance of a
teacher (Sekar, 2015).

Memorizing: It is a cognitive cycle that is used to commit informationvisual, auditory, or
strategicto memory for later evaluation. Memorization has a positive impact on students (Daisy,
2018; Kiswardhani & Ayu, 2021)
Preparing for a test: It is a process of changing the given information into questions that can be
asked in tests or exams from now on. It additionally remembers the comprehension of the
understudies' insight into the subject. The primary purpose of preparing for tests is to develop
understudy execution in tests and the second is to decrease test nervousness (Bhradwaj, 2013; Sekar,
2015: Daisy, 2018).
Time management: It is the process involved with arranging and practicing cognizant control of
time for contemplating and different exercises. It incorporates making a month-to-month, week-by-
week, and everyday timetable for study. Students who practice effective time management have
demonstrated improved academic performance, demonstrating the importance of time management
in their academic success (Karaoglan & Yaman, 2009; Daisy, 2018; Saat et al., 2022).
Comprehension: An individual can grasp a given section of information or data. An individual with
great perception abilities can comprehend the section's primary subject and other central matters
connected with the fundamental topic. Comprehension is dependent on the capacity to decrease
difficult topics to simple ones through transformations (Mamajanova & Artikova, 2023). Time
management skills can be understood in terms of study skills as the effective and appropriate
planning of time for studying and other personal activities (Bhradwaj, 2013; Daisy, 2018).
Academic Achievement
Academic is described as "academic work" which refers to the outcomes accomplished by
understudies because of the gathering of learning. Achievement alludes to the fruition and fulfillment of a
specific level that an understudy can accomplish after learning (Lamas, 2015). Some researchers believe
academic achievement to be comparable to grades, and it is based on the various interpretations of success
and grades that researchers have compared in terms of what constitutes academic success (Brookhart et al.,
2016). Students' academic success, as reflected in their marks from previous classes, can serve as an
indicator of their potential performance in school/college/university. The postgraduate students' academic
performance was measured in the current study using their results from the prior final exam.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This research is significant because it may clarify the critical relationship between students' academic
success and study skills. Understanding how study skills influence academic achievement can provide
valuable insights for educators and policymakers. By identifying effective study strategies, educational
institutions can tailor their teaching methods and support systems to better equip students for success. This
study can empower students by helping them recognize the importance of developing strong study skills. By
emphasizing the link between academic success and study techniques, students may be motivated to adopt
more productive learning techniques, leading to improved outcomes. Research suggests that disparities in

academic achievement often stem from differences in study habits and strategies among students. By
investigating how study skills affect academic performance, this research may help close achievement gaps
and advance educational equity. Schools and educational institutions can use the findings of this study to
enhance their student support services. By offering targeted interventions and resources to improve study
skills, educators can better assist students who may be struggling academically. The body of research on
study techniques and academic success is increased by this study. By providing empirical evidence and
insights into this relationship, it enriches the scholarly discourse and serves as a foundation for further
research in the field. Overall, this study's importance stems from its ability to inform educational practices,
empower students, address achievement gaps, enhance student support services, and contribute to the
academic literature on study techniques & academic success.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Ellen and Cor (2010) looked into how 245 first-year full-time law students were prepared to study
skills by their secondary school education. Based on the study's findings, first-year college students'
academic achievement was not significantly impacted by their perceived preparation for study abilities
related to time management and learning.
Hassanbeigi et al. (2011) looked into the connection between 179 male and female university
students' academic performance and study skills. According to the data analysis, university students who had
a GPA of at least 15 demonstrated better study skills than those who had a GPA of less than 15. These
abilities included procrastination and time management, memory and attention, study tools and taking notes,
test-taking techniques and test anxiety, information organization and processing, drive and attitude, and
reading and key concept selection.
Study abilities and academic performance of 300 intermediate students from 10 different colleges in
Abbottabad, Pakistan were examined by Fazal et al. in a 2012 study. The results of the study showed a
positive correlation between college students' academic achievement and their study skills, which include
time management, taking notes, and reading comprehension.
Griffin et al. objectively investigated the effects of study methods and learning on the academic
performance of 107 college students in the Mid-South area of the United States (2012). Studies have
indicated that the academic performance of American university students is positively correlated with their
study skills, which include time management, study aids, attitude, concentration, information processing,
motivation, and self-testing. Academic performance was found to have no significant correlation with
anxiety or the ability to choose the main ideas.
Pepe (2012) examined the correlation between study skills and GPA among 251 Mehmet Akif Ersoy
University students, finding that those with lower GPAs had lower study skill levels than those with higher
GPAs.
The impact of study skills was examined by Shetty and Srinivasan (2014) on 137 dental students
from MMMC, Manipal, India. The study skills were evaluated using a 23-item questionnaire, and the chi-
square test was employed to analyze the results. The study's findings demonstrated that, in comparison to

students with lower exam results, those with higher exam scores frequently demonstrated a higher
percentage of usage of different study techniques.
The benefits of study skills instruction on the mathematics achievement of seventy low-achieving
Upper-basic students in Jos East, Nigeria, were examined by Israel and Bahago (2020). Analysis of
covariance (ANCOVA) was utilized to analyze the gathered data. The study's conclusions showed that
although students' performance in mathematics was poor before receiving study skills instruction, it
improved thereafter.
To ascertain the impact of study techniques on the academic achievement of 32 (10th-class students
in Tehran's high school—16 in the Control Group and 16 in the Experiment Group—Motevalli et al. (2021)
carried out an experimental study. The study was conducted by using pretest, posttest, and follow-up design.
The study's conclusion was that study techniques (time management, strategies before, during, and after the
test) training positively increased the academic achievement of 10th-class school students.
Dayupay et al. (2022) determined the motivational strategies, mathematics performance, and study
skills of 703 college students by using a structural model with the help of SPSS (V-26) and Amos (V-23)
software. Analysis of the data uncovered that the study skills and motivation were favorably connected with
the pupils' GPA with an explanatory power of 39%.
To look at the relationship between reading habits, study techniques, and academic success in
English, Abid et al. (2023) performed a descriptive correlational survey with 1614 secondary school students
who were chosen from 40 schools in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. The study, which was carried out in the
2019–2020 academic year, discovered a favorable correlation between academic success in English and
reading habits and study techniques.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
To study the joint contribution of study skills viz., reading a text, note taking, studying,
memorizing, preparing for a text, time management, and comprehension in predicting the
performance of secondary school pupils academically.
To investigate how each of the study skillsreading, taking notes, studying, memorization, text
preparation, time management, and comprehensioncontributes individually to the prediction of
Academic achievement of secondary school pupils.
HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY
There won't be any noteworthy joint contribution of study skills viz., reading a text, note taking,
studying, memorizing, preparing for a text, time management, and comprehension in predicting the
Secondary school pupils' academic performance.

RESEARCH TOOLS TO BE USED
The researcher used the following research tool for data collection from the secondary school
students.
Study Skills Assessment Tool:
Study Skills Assessment Tool is 35 items on a 5-point Likert (Always to Never) developed and
standardized by Vijayabano & Sri (2017). The Cronbach’s Alpha value of the tool (N=35) is as high
as 0.80 and items individually also have a high reliability ranging from 0.77 to 0.82. It has seven
dimensions specifically taking notes, studying, memorization, exam preparation, time management,
& comprehension.
Academic Achievement
Marks of the final examination of the 9th class of session 2023-2024 were taken as Academic
achievement of school students.
POPULATION AND SAMPLE
Students in the Patiala area of Punjab who were enrolled in government secondary schools in the
tenth grade made up the study population. These schools were associated with the Punjab School Education
Board and were located in Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar. The District Education Officer was asked for a list of
government schools. Four schools were chosen at random from the list of schools to carry out the study. A
sample of 208 secondary school students—68 male and 140 female—was chosen for data gathering from
among the four schools that were considered for the study's execution.
INTERPRETATION OF DATA
The study's goal was to determine the combined and individual effects of study skills—that is,
reading aloud, taking notes, studying, memorization, test preparation, time management, and
comprehension—on secondary school students' academic accomplishment. Multiple correlation &
regression were used to examine the data, and Tables 1 through 3 present the findings.

and comprehension (15.87%, 9.89%, 19.08%, 10.34%, 16.45%, 5.82%, and 15.6%, respectively). It may,
therefore, be said that the greatest indicator of secondary school students' academic success is studying
followed by other study skills viz. preparing for tests, reading text, comprehension, memorizing, note-
taking, and time management.
CONCLUSION
Students in secondary schools achieved much better academically when they used study strategies.
Thus, for up to 99% of secondary school pupils, using study techniques can significantly increase academic
accomplishment.

Introduction: The scientific understanding gained from pharmacology investigations is used to support a wide range of medical therapies. As a result, pharmacology is essential in medicine. As a result of the coronavirus epidemic, several colleges throughout the world have resorted to online pharmacology learning, which has an indirect impact on student academic progress. Aside from learning styles, a student's time management abilities are another essential aspect that affects their academic success. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that employed a questionnaire to assess first-year medical students from Universiti Putra Malaysia's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences' learning style and time management skills. A series of pharmacological questions involving short answer questions was also given to the students to assess their pharmacology performance. Results: There was a significant weak negative correlation between superficial learning style and pharmacology performance (r=-0.272, p<.05). There was also a significant weak correlation between deep learning style and long range planning (r=0.256, p<.05) and including short range planning (r=0.263, p<0.5). Lastly, significant weak negative correlation on pharmacology performance and long range planning was seen (r=0.256, p<.05). However, there was no significant correlation between time management and pharmacology performance. Conclusion: Students that use a superficial learning style struggle in school, yet deep learning styles in both short and long term planning do not always increase pharmacology performance. A good time management skills does not guarantee a good pharmacology performance either. Other relevant factors, like as socio-demographic characteristics, that may contribute to this outcome, particularly during this epidemic , should be investigated further.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of study skills training on the qualitative academic achievement of girl high school students. This study was conducted by using an experimental design with pretest, posttest, and follow-up with the control group. The participants were 32 students from girl high school students of Tehran which were selected by cluster random sampling from girl high schools and then randomly assigned into control and experimental groups (Each group consisted of 16 students). The instruments used were Dortaj Qualitative Academic Achievement Questionnaire and Motevalli Study Skills Training Module. The experimental group received 8 sessions of psycho-educational group therapy and the control group did not receive any training. Two-way repeated-measures ANOVA was utilized for the analysis of data. Results revealed that there was a significant increase in qualitative academic achievement between pretest with post-test and follow-up among the experimental group. Moreover, there was a significant increase in qualitative academic achievement between post-test and follow-up in the experimental group with the control group. Additionally, the results showed that there is a significant increase in self-efficacy, planning, and motivation and also a significant decrease in emotional effects and lack of outcome control. In conclusion, the results of this study indicated that on the basis of deficit theory using learning and study skills training can lead to enhance student's skills to improve qualitative academic achievement. Further studies are required to examine whether exposing students to study skills training programs can lead them to enhance their qualitative academic achievement. Keyword: Motivation Study Skills Training, Planning, Qualitative Academic Achievement, Self-efficacy.

This is a screening model research, and the objective of this research is to find out whether there is a relationship between study skills and GPA of university students. Population of the study is Mehmet Akif Ersoy University, while the sample group is composed of the students studying at classroom management and physical education and sports departments. The data were obtained from written sources and through survey method. After the understandability, content validity and reliability of the questionnaire were assured, it was applied to the sample group randomly through one to one interviews. A total of 251 students participated in the study. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.96. According to the researchers, this is a very high Co-efficient. After the collected data had been coded in suitable statistical computing environment, as statistical operations, such procedures as the frequency (f), percentage (%), cross-table (Croostab) and X2 (Chi-square) were applied. Comments were made upon by accepting0.05 confidence interval. As a result of statistical evaluation procedures, student with higher GPA are better than those who have lower. There is also a significant difference in 0,05 significance level. As a result, we can say that study skills of students with higher GPA are also higher and there is a linear parallelism between study skills and GPA.

Background: Financial accounting is a skills course which to a large extent can be best learned through deliberate practice. Teachers implement this by continuously assigning homeworks, encouraging good study habits, asking students to budget time for studying, and generally exhorting students to "work hard". Aims: This paper examines the impact of "study habits, skills, and attitudes" (SHSAs) on the performance of students in an introductory financial accounting college course. Sample: 395 2 nd year business students in a Philippine university Method: Data related to variables found to have influenced accounting performance in previous researches as well as SHSA variables are collected through student survey and school records. They are treated as independent variables using multiple regression analysis, with the accounting course final grade as the dependent variable. The paper also examines the factors that differentiate high- from low-performing students. Results: The study found that math proficiency, English proficiency, high school accounting, and academic aptitude influence accounting performance, supporting the findings of many previous researches on cognitive factors. Among the SHSA factors, only student perception of teacher effectiveness and level of effort influence accounting performance. Time spent studying, attendance in review classes conducted in tutorial centers, motivation, and study habits have no significant effect. Upon further analysis comparing high and low performers, study habits show up to be significant as well. In particular, students who performed better are those who did more in terms of reading ahead, doing their homework, participating in class, and cramming for exams. Conclusion: Since student perception of teacher effectiveness strongly influences accounting performance, it is critical that hiring and training of accounting faculty be given utmost importance. Level of effort and good study habits also help, but not the sheer number of study hours.

This study described the learning styles and study skills among Nursing students in five (5) Nursing colleges in Northern Mindanao, namely Liceo de Cagayan University, Central Mindanao University, Mountain View College, Misamis University, and Christ the King College. Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory and Study Skills Inventory were used to gather data from the 300 respondents. Data gathered were subjected to descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The data revealed that the Nursing students have diverging learning style. This learning style is associated with valuing skills, helping others, and sense making. Teaching strategies appropriate for such learning styles must be employed by the faculty to create a match with the students’ learning needs. In terms of study skills, the Nursing students are good in note-taking, textbook reading, memory, test preparation, and concentration. However, they are weak in time-management skills. There is a significant relationship between time management skills and Abstract Conceptualization (AC). This underscored the importance of developing time management skills for a student to be able to cultivate his or her critical thinking skills such as synthesis, analysis, and the integration of the concrete experience after reflective observation. Key words - learning styles, study skills, diverging learning style, abstract conceptualization, teaching strategies
