Emotional Intelligence, Academic Self Concept, and Study Habit as Predictors of Academic Performance in Test and Measurement: Among Undergraduates of Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt, Nigeria

“…Results on ANOVA on the significance of this value showed a P-Value of 0.000 to be less than 0.05 indicating that study habits significantly predicted academic performance in Test and Measurement. This result is in accordance with the findings of Rabia et al (2017) who found study habit to significantly relate to academic performance of students, the findings of Oluwatimilehin and Owoyele (2012) in their study of Relationship Between Study Habit and Students Academic Achievements in Core Subjects at the Junior Secondary School Level in Ondo State, however, disagrees with the present result. They found a low relationship between the sub-sets of study habits and academic performance of students in Mathematics and Science; they concluded that the result could be due to low students' interest and motivation.…”

“…When put through ANOVA linked with multiple regression, a P-Value of 0.000 was obtained which is lesser than 0.05 thus implying that emotional intelligence, academic self-concept and study habit significantly contribute jointly to the academic performance of students. This agrees with the results of Preeti (2013), Kolachina (2014), Hakini andBashiar (2014), El-Nady (2016) and Rabia (2017) who all found emotional intelligence, academic self-concept and study habit to individually relate positively with academic performance while the finding of Oluwatimilehin and Owoyele (2012) and Malik and Shahid (2016) disagreed with the present result. The result is expected since each factor independently predicted academic performance significantly.…”

“…They found a gap between boys and girls on how they develop self-concept and factors that influence the development of academic selfconcept to include mental and physical growth, early educators and parenting style. On study habits and academic performance of students, Rabia et al (2017) worked on study habits and academic performance of students. They investigated the relationship between study habits and academic performance of 270 students sampled from two colleges; the Government Allama Igbal College for women and Government Technical College for boys in Sialker.…”

Study Habits of Students and Academic Achievement: A Correlational Study

“…Study of such factors is considered part and parcel for the good academic outcome (Kamoru and Ramon 2017). Rabia, Mubarak, Tallat and Nasir (2017) defined study habits as: 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.…”
