TITLE 1:

Top 3 Studying Techniques of Grade 11 and 12 STEM Students of FAITH Catholic School
in Preparation for The Examination

QUALITATIVE PURPOSE STATEMENT:

This study aims to know the different studying techniques that STEM students use to
prepare in their examination. By developing good study and learning techniques, the
students will keep their motivation high and achieve their goals more easily and more
efficiently. This will help the students to learn how to study smarter, not harder.

CENTRAL QUESTION:

What studying techniques do the students use in preparation for the exams?

SUB QUESTIONS:

1. What preparation do you do before the examination?

2. What are the ways that will help you in recalling what you studied?
3. What certain application do you use to help you to study easily?

JUSTIFICATION/REASONS FOR 3 RELATED LITERATURE TO SUPPORT

CONDUCTING THE RESEARCH YOUR STUDY

We conduct this study because there are so
many students that don't know how to
handle their overload school works. Some
wonder if they could perform better in their
class and exams. We researchers want to
help those students to improve their studying
techniques so that it will be still effective in
college.
Self-testing enriches and improves the
learning process, and he believes there needs
to be more focus on using retrieval as a
learning strategy.
Whether it’s taking notes from lectures or
from reading, note-taking has been shown to
improve the student learning. (Chang & Ku,
2014)
 Use of mnemonic devices like acronyms are
proven to increase learning efficiency. (Psych
Central, 2018)

SCOPE AND LIMITATION SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Senior High STEM of students of FAITH
Catholic School are the respondents of this
research. This study will focus more on the
different studying techniques given by them.
It is stated here in the research paper about
the studying techniques they do to improve
their study habits. Thus, this study does not
include students’ other concerns such as
school activities.
Nowadays, many students get easily stressed
when there are overload school works and
exam. This study will be a significant
endeavor in the improvement of the students
studying techniques. This will be helpful in
serving as guide on what may be the best
possible technique that students can do and
to help them prevent some anxiety and other
health issues that can affect the students
studying techniques.

ASSUMPTIONS:
1. The preparation of the students before the examination:

A. Reviewing for 10 minutes before the exam

B. Praying before the exam
C. Rest themselves before the examination

2. A certain way that will help you in recalling what you studied:

A. Reviewer (making notes)

B. Mnemonics
C. Making quiz for self-assessment

3. A certain application that help you study easily:

B. Quizlet
C. Flashcards
 RESEARCH METHOD
In this research, we focused on
phenomenology. This focuses on the
commonality of lived experience within a
particular group. It describes how human
beings experience a certain phenomenon.
This method is the one that fits our research
because it will investigate the experiences of
grades 11 STEM students asking their own
opinions on what studying technique do they
use in preparation for examinations.
SAMPLING DESIGN
(provide the criteria)
Purposive Sampling is a non- probability
that is selected based on characteristics of a
population and the objective of the study.
The sample that the group will get should be
heterogeneous; the respondents should be
diverse when it comes to experience for the
credibility of the research.
Our respondents for this research are:
 FCS Top 20 Honor Students of
Grades 11 and 12 who are taking the
STEM Strand.
