“…Laxminarayanan et al (2006) and Sarwar et al (2009) found that overachievers possessed better study habits than underachievers while Sirohi (2004) concluded that poor study habits were one of the main causes for underachievement. Lidhoo and Khan (1990) observed that poor study habits and low need-achievement were associated with underachievement among bright subjects.…”

The study aims to explore the relationship of study habits with socio-economic status and gender. The research was carried out on a sample of 224 students studying in class IX of Aligarh district. Standardized scales were used to collect the data which in turn was analyzed by applying Mean (M), Standard Deviation (SD), Product moment correlation (r), t-test and ANOVA. Findings revealed that significant difference exists in the study habits of students in relation to gender. Significant and positive relationship exists between study habits and Socio-economic status but interaction effect of gender and SES was not found on study habits.

“…This aspect was however not directly questioned in our survey. Sarwar et al 4 also demonstrated in their study that high achievers reported putting in more vigorous efforts; additionally, they said that they tried to understand things and not memorize them.…”

“…However, academic self-perceptions and motivation/selfregulation appeared to be stronger predictors of academic achievement status than attitude toward school and teachers. According to Sarwar et al, 4 high-achievers reported being more calm and efficient compared to low achievers. These students also found their school subjects relevant and interesting.…”

“…According to a study by Sarwar et al, 4 high achievers have better study habits and attitude as compared to low achievers; the former group revised daily what was taught in the class on that particular day. They also studied according to a timetable.…”

“…A previous study has also shown that high achievers approach the teacher to explain parts of the lessons they do not understand. 4 In a study by Engels and de Gara, 5 it was observed that medical students followed the assimilatory learning style of the Kolb learning style inventory. Essentially, people following this learning style enjoyed creating theoretical models and placed importance in theory and logic, and are less interested in people and more concerned with abstract concepts.…”

a INTRODUCTIONStudying medicine is very stressful and challenging because of the sheer volume of learning, in addition to dealing with human lives. Because of these, students have very less opportunity to relax and involve in recreational activities.1 All this can result in anxiety and depression, impaired concentration and judgment, and loss of selfesteem. 2In addition to the academic pressure, medical students also have to deal with the uncertainty of the future and the pressure to excel in their careers. 3 In addition, for students who have been reasonably good in academics in school, getting mediocre scores as a medical undergraduate is often unfathomable. This further has a bearing on their quality of life. So, the learning techniques of these students are an important aspect towards their achieving academic success in medical school, as well as professional success, later as physicians.It is well-known that in spite of being exposed to the same teaching modalities in the class rooms and in spite of adopting seemingly similar learning strategies, some students perform much better than their peers. This can be evaluated in the form of better academic performance in the formative assessments they undertake.Information on the learning techniques of medical students are lacking in medical colleges in India. These techniques may be associated with student understanding and may predict success in examination. The present study was carried out to identify high achievers in ABSTRACT Background: In every college, it is noticed that in spite of being exposed to the same teaching modalities and adopting seemingly similar strategies, some students perform much better than their peers. This can be evaluated in the form of better academic performance in the internal assessments they undertake. This project is an endeavor to identify the learning techniques among high achievers which they employ to outperform others. We can also suggest the same to the medium and low achievers so that they can improve their academic performance. This study was conducted to identify different learning techniques adopted by high achievers and suggesting the same to medium and low achievers. Methods: After obtaining clearance from the institutional ethics committee, the high achievers were identified by selecting the upper third of the students in the ascending order of marks obtained in the consecutive three internal assessments in three consecutive batches. The identity of the students was not revealed. They were then administered an open ended questionnaire which addressed relevant issues. The most common and feasible techniques will be suggested to the medium and low achievers. Results: The respondents' (n=101) replies were analyzed by calculating the percentages of responses, and assessing based on that, which were the most frequently adapted techniques by these high achievers Conclusions: High-achievers have a diligent study pattern; they not only study regularly, but also involve in group discussions and approach their teachers when i...

This study investigated the effects of student and classroom characteristics on math self-confidence, perceived usefulness, and enjoyment of mathematics as multiple outcomes. A sample of 7th-grade students from 78 classes of 49 schools was studied. The data were collected using, among other instruments, an attitude questionnaire. The results of the multivariate multilevel analysis showed that the variance of the 3 indicators was situated mostly at the student level, and that the indicators correlated strongly at the class level. Higher prior mathematics achievement and positive parental beliefs and attitudes were significant predictors of higher scores across the 3 indicators. Each of the baseline indicators was significantly associated with its corresponding final indicator. At the classroom level, classroom assessment was significantly associated with less endorsement of all 3 indicators, higher levels of classroom modeling with greater endorsement of perceived usefulness of mathematics, and classroom questioning with greater enjoyment of mathematics.
