Study Habit as a Predictor of College of Education Students’ Achievement in Computer Science in South East, Nigeria

The study investigated study habit as a predictor of College of education students' achievement in Computer science in South East, Nigeria. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. Correlation research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was 1,028 Computer science students out of which 510 students drawn using purposive and random sampling techniques were involved in the study. Study Habit Questionnaire SHQ validated by three experts was used as instrument for data collection. The reliability of the instrument SHQ was established using Cronbach Alpha to be 0.80. The data obtained was analyzed using simple and multiple linear regressions. The findings of the study revealed among others that 0.8 of the variance in achievement in Computer science was predicted by students' study habit. Also, achievement scores in Computer science were significantly predicted by students' study habit. It was recommended that Colleges of education should organise for students, seminars on how to study effectively study in the postmodern world of today, using most recent advancements in educational technologies.
