“…Vista la importancia de los hábitos de estudio, numerosos estudios los relacionan directamente con los resultados académicos de los sujetos en edad escolar; encontrando una relación positiva entre ambos (Díaz, 1995;Fullana, 2008;Hernández y García, 1991;Martínez-Otero, 1996;Meneghetti, De Beni y Cornoldi, 2007;Nonis y Hudson, 2010).

Los hábitos de estudio juegan un papel fundamental en el desempeño académico, pero éstos no se miden únicamente por la cantidad de tiempo dedicado a estudiar, es más bien una cuestión de calidad del estudio. En el presente artículo se analizan en profundidad los hábitos de estudio de 203 adolescentes de 2º ciclo de ESO de centros públicos de Castellón de la Plana. Los<br />instrumentos utilizados son el cuestionario CHTE (Cuestionario de Hábitos y Técnicas de Estudio) y las calificaciones escolares. El objetivo es detectar qué aspectos de los hábitos de estudio se relacionan con el rendimiento académico, así como hallar diferencias por género. Aspectos como la<br />planificación del tiempo, la actitud o el lugar de estudio, se presentan como elementos importantes a tener en cuenta de cara a mejorar el rendimiento académico. Existen importantes diferencias por género, tanto en hábitos de estudio como en el rendimiento académico.

“…Student may even stop attending classes on discovering the source of lecture notes given by their lecturers (Durkin & Main, 2002). Nonis and Hudson (2010) declared that access to good notes is not enough but should be complemented with better time management to yield a good CGPA. Peverly et al (2007) found that the quality of notes taken by students significantly and positively related to test performance.…”

The study examined academic stress, study habits and academic performance of 196 (113 males and 83 females) undergraduates of Mbarara University of Science and Technology in Uganda using a cross-sectional survey research design. Findings showed that daily academic hassles were found to be the most stressful (M = 3.11; SD = 0.96) while personal problems were reported as the least stressful (M = 2.27; SD = 0.86). First year students experienced greater academic stress from financial hardships (χ 2 = 10.71; p = .03), academic overload/time (χ 2 = 10.23; p = .04) and social expectations (χ 2 = 10.79; p = .01) than the continuing students. Motivation was the most used study habit (M = 6.52; SD = 1.18) among the respondent, while studying a chapter was the least common study habit (M = 3.86; SD = 1.35) among the students. Faculty of Development Studies students had better study habits (χ 2 = 8.75; p = .03) than other faculties/institute based on grade performance. The GPA/CGPA 4.40 -5.00 category had superior study habits (χ 2 = 11.47; p = .01) than the other GPA/CGPA categories. Age (OR =. 88) was a significant predictor of having supplementary exams. Our results highlight the need for strategic interventions focusing on reducing academic stressors and improving the study habits of the undergraduates considering the uniqueness of the different faculties and year of study for improved academic performance.

The present study estimates the global validity of existing constructs and serves as the basis for the development of the Self-Reported Study Habits for International Students (SR-SHI) used to identify at-risk students in international programs. One-year classroom observations, recollection of study habits though interviews with high performing students show that they are mainly from low-context and individualistic countries while most low performing students come from high-context and collectivistic countries.Among other aspects, high performing students give opinions based on reading material and class content, use the expression "I think", ask questions in class, are on time, ask for feedback regarding assignments, take notes in class and while studying, look for the professor after class, seat at the front of the classroom and attend every class, study in silence and alone at regular times along the whole semester, read the material about two weeks before the exam, review notes before the exam, talk about the content with other students. On the other hand, low performing students remind quite the whole semester, miss at least three classes per semester, are normally late, sit at the back of the classroom, don't take notes in class and never look for the professor after class-hours. It seems that specific training programs at the start and during the semester as well as training on cultural intelligence were identified are necessary.Keywords: academic performance, high/low-context countries, high-performing students, low-context country, multicultural classroom, study habits Statement of ProblemPerhaps the greatest challenge of faculty teaching in multicultural classrooms in college is to devise teaching methodologies that help all students to learn and understand the subjects under discussion. This researcher sustains that all things being equal, what remains different in a multicultural classroom is the cultural background (and the implied habits) of students and teachers. Class observations and interview with high-performing students showed that most high and low performing students have some habits in common. Hence, it is considered important to know what habits college students have and, in case of low-performing students, which of those habits need to be changed in order to improve performance. The importance of improving habits lays in their relationship with attitudes, which are deemed important for achieving high academic performance.A great deal of research provides evidence that study habits and study attitudes are both significant variables, which determine the academic performance of students. Yet, in spite of the perceived importance of study habits and study attitudes to academic achievement, it seems that education institution still pay little attention to understanding these factors (Baquiran, 2011).Classroom observations show that under the same conditions, namely same professor, same subject, same teaching system, same administration, same enrollment criteria, same time of the day ...
