Abstract Abstract
The study investigated the effects of study
habits on the academic achievement of
Business Studies students in junior secondary
schools in Delta State. To guide the study,
four research questions and four hypotheses
were raised. The study adopted a quasiexperimental design. The study population
comprises all Delta State public junior
secondary class (JSS2) students. The study
sample consists of 376 Business studies
students from nine mixed secondary schools
in the three senatorial districts in Delta State.
The purposive and stratified sampling
techniques were used for the study. The
instrument used for the study was the
Business Studies Achievement Test (BSAT),
consisting of 50 multiple-choice items. Kuder
Richardson formula 21 was applied to
determine the instrument's reliability, and a
co-efficient r of 0.77 was obtained. The mean
and standard deviation were used to answer
the research questions, while the hypotheses
were tested using Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA) and t-test statistics at a 0.05
significance level. The study's findings
showed a difference in the mean scores of
Business Studies Students who study using
the study time, group and individualized
study habits. Based on these findings, it was
recommended, among others, that the
government at all levels should provide
adequate quality human and material
resources in rural schools to bridge the gap
in the academic achievement of rural and
urban students.
