Effect of Approaches to Learning and Studying on Academic Perfromance in the General Education Course (Gec) in Isabela State University Main Campus

Abstract

This study evaluated the students' methods for learning and studying as a foundation for the process of changing how OBE is taught and learned at the Isabela State University, Echague Campus. The results showed that while the students adopted a variety of learning strategies, they primarily chose the strategic method. The combined influence in the change of the Mathematics in the Modern World (MMW) GPA only contributes about 7.6% with significant regression weights and can be used as predictors when using the "Strategic Approach". Regarding the application of the "Surface Apathetic Approach," substantial regression weights show that it can also be a predictor even though it only accounts for around 3.5% of the overall variation in the GPA in MMW. This study suggests that student learning strategies can aid students in enhancing their learning outcomes. College students' exploratory learning and their MMW learning outcomes are mediated by their learning approaches.
