CONCEPT PAPER
RESEARCH TOPIC: Finding the most effective study techniques on academic
performance.
RESEARCH TITLE: ‘‘Investigating the Relationship of Study Techniques and
Academic Performance: Unveiling the Most Effective Approaches’’
RESEARCH PROPONENT: Sophia T. Corsiga
CONTEXT:
Despite many students uses the study techniques like flashcards, visual aids, notetaking, etc. Students still find it very hard to study and it affects the students from
achieving their academic goals. Why does the students are struggling to study when
study techniques are already well known. Furthermore, addressing this issue might
be helpful to the students that are trying to achieve success.
Investigating the effect of study methods on academic performance is a
research field that aims to uncover the most efficient approaches for improving learning
and helping students succeed. By comparing various study techniques like active
learning, spaced repetition, retrieval practice, and mnemonics, researchers can offer
evidence-based strategies for studying. They also take into account individual
differences, such as cognitive abilities and learning styles, to provide personalized
recommendations for optimizing study strategies. This research plays a crucial role in
enhancing educational practices and promoting student success by identifying
techniques that enhance learning outcomes.
By conducting studies on study techniques, researchers can compare
various methods such as active learning, spaced repetition, and retrieval practice. These
techniques have been shown to have a positive impact on learning and memory
retention. Understanding the effectiveness of these techniques can provide valuable
insights for students, educators, and policymakers in designing effective learning
environments.
RATIONALE:
1. To help the students who are struggling to find the most effective approaches
for them to use;
2. to help the students understand which approaches are the most effective
for them to achieve a better academic outcome;
3. to help educators realize which of the approaches are the most effective for
the students to use;
4. to help the institutions provide better education services for the students;
5. to emphasize how the approaches greatly affect the students, and
6. to provide criteria upon choosing the best approaches intended as an
instrument that can help improve the academic outcome for the students
and education services.
OBJECTIVE:
1. To identify the study techniques and academic performance;
2. identifying the study techniques commonly used by students;
3. assessing the relationship between study techniques and academic
performance;
4. to evaluate how students’ academic performance is influenced by the study
techniques they use; and
5. to analyze the different techniques of studying that students use for
different academic performance;
SIGNIFICANCE AND BENEFICIARIES:
Students- Students will benefit from this research as it will provide them with
evidence-based strategies to enhance their study techniques and improve their
academic performance. They can adopt the most effective approaches identified in
the study to optimize their learning outcomes.
Educators- Educators can use the findings of this research to guide their instructional
practices. It will help them understand which study techniques are most beneficial for
students and enable them to design more effective teaching methods and classroom
activities.
Parents- Parents can benefit from this research by gaining insights into the study
techniques that are most effective for their children. They can provide guidance and
support to their children in implementing these techniques, thereby contributing to
their academic success.
Researchers and Academics- Researchers and academics can use the findings of this
investigation to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on study techniques and
academic performance. It will help in advancing the field of education and provide a
basis for future research in this area.
Institutions and Policy Makers- Institutions and policymakers can utilize the results
of this research to develop effective educational policies and strategies. It can inform
decisions related to curriculum development, student support services, and resource
allocation to improve overall academic performance.
Future Researcher- Future researchers can use this research to provide themselves
with knowledge and further understand the gap. Moreover, they can use this research
as their guide upon conducting the same research in the same field.
FEASIBILITY REQUIREMENT:
This research requires careful consideration of consent from the participants to ask
their willingness to participate. Likewise in this study, the proponent secured that the
participants were able to meet the specific criteria of the study, In addition, the
proponent also secured approval through a letter of consent signed by the school head.
For this study, sufficient time and adequate resources must be carried out effectively
in this study specifically in data collection, data analysis, and data interpretation.
