Abstract

This paper aimed to determine the study habits of the freshmen and the factors that distract their concentration. The objective of every student to be outstanding in the class is attainable with good study habits. There are students who garnered exceptional ratings while some failed in their class performances. Students experience disturbances that are distractions in their studies. Utilizing the descriptive survey design, this study investigated the extent of respondents’ study habits and the factors that distract their concentration. The ninety-seven officially enrolled freshmen who are taking board programs answered the questionnaires. The study utilized the purposive sampling method in gathering the data. The findings disclosed that the respondents’ study habits are good enough to some extent, but they still need to develop their skills in some areas of their studies. Though there is none of the factors utilized in this study that distract respondents’ concentration at all times, they should exercise more sensibility and interest in their classes since this may lead to academic failures. Proper adjustment to other items of distraction should also be done to achieve good results.
