Abstract:

The students-related factors are cited as the most important determinants of students’ academic achievement. Among these factors, “study habits” was researched by several researchers keen to investigate how it influences students’ academic achievement. The objective of this paper is to highlight which aspects or components of study habits that were mostly associated to students’ academic performance. A systematic literature review was conducted throughout a comprehensive search of papers published between 2020 and 2025 on different online databases. The results of the thematic analysis revealed that time management, followed by taking exam and then note taking along with reading are the top components of the students’ study habits that influence positively the students’ academic performance. After those habits, other habits, such as motivation, followed by memorization, space, setting goals, and concentration were identified as students’ study habits also positively correlated to the students’ academic performance in the order they are grouped. Accordingly, it is recommended that teachers do everything possible to not only teach the subject to students but also to teach them how to learn with increased support on different study habits highlighted by this study. Parents are also encouraged to help their children to adopt good study habits.
