Abstract

Study habits play a major role in academic achievement, but these are not measured only by the amount of time spent studying, it is rather a matter of study quality. In this article the study habits of 203 adolescents from 2nd ESO from Castellón de la Plana state schools are analyzed in depth. The instruments used are the CHTE (habits and study skills) and school grades. The aim is to identify which aspects of study habits are related to academic achievement, and to find gender differences. Aspects such as time planning, attitude or place of study are presented as important elements to consider in order to improve academic achievement. There are significant gender differences in both study habits and academic achievement.
