ABSTRACT
For education students, balancing academic responsibilities requires time management effective time management and discipline study habits. The way they structure their schedules, prioritize tasks, and approach learning can significantly impact their academic performance and overall wellbeing. The present study aimed to ascertain the correlation between time management and study habits among education students (n = 98). A descriptive correlational design was used, and a survey questionnaire was employed to measure the participants’ study habits and behavior time management. The distribution of academic performance across the year-level sample reflected a promising beginning for education students. However, the study recommended continuing attention to this group of students, especially the underrepresented first-year students. Likewise, the current group of students seemed male-dominant, thus encouraging gender balance in subsequent research. The results show a moderate perception of self-discipline and time awareness among students. Several of the study concerns consist of problems with time scheduling, stress management, and work-life balance. Interestingly, only self-discipline significantly predicts time management and academic performance. The study also examined the expected awareness of the students with good study habits and concluded that students needed to be more consistent in demonstrating good practice. This was evidenced in the areas of organization, such as studying, self-care, and time management, which create a good study environment. This demands a combination of support and a push from the academe, parents, and other concemed individuals in attending various workshops and seminars on goal setting, stress managing, organizing the resources to support the student, and collaboration of the parents and the academe. The study recommended for future researchers should be a comprehensive study on the effect of self-discipline, stress management, family support, and financial constraints on the students’ academic performances.
