The students were required to keep a continuous log of the amount of time that they spent reading, reviewing, and organizing for the course. Weak relationships with test scores were found for total study time and time spent reviewing. A much stronger relationship was found for time spent organizing the course content. An extreme-groups analysis revealed that students with high test scores spent 40 min per week organizing compared with 10 min per week for students with low test scores. The results support the importance that information-processing theorists attribute to active learning strategies.},

This research investigated the efficacy of two cognitive behavior modification procedures—self-monitoring of attention and self-monitoring of academic accuracy—with a group of low functioning students in a LD self-contained class. Data are presented which indicate that the combination of both procedures was effective for all four students in improving attention-to-task and for three of the four children in percentage of accurate responses in an arithmetic task. The discussion highlights the importance of possible modification of CBM methods and training procedures in order to develop successsful intervention programs for LD students whose cognitive functioning levels are below average.},

The population of the research consisted of distance learning students from the\  Department of Technology Teacher Education of Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology. One hundred eighty-two participants belonging to different courses who were selected randomly, ranging from first year to fourth year, participated conveniently in this study. Survey questionnaires regarding time management on a five-point likert scale were used to collect data from respondents and were disseminated through Google forms. Before utilizing scales, professionals in the field review them for validity. The variables' previous GPA correlated with .139 and a significance of .061 indicated that they have no significant relationship with how students manage their time. It is concluded that both variables have no significant relationship with each other and time management skills do not affect students' school performance significantly. However, students should be aware of time wastage and take responsibility for enhancing their time management skills and maintaining their grade point average.},

In the setting of the active, assignment-based teaching approach at Hasselt University (Belgium), the present study aimed (a) to further clarify the role of study time in academic performance, while taking into account student characteristics (e.g. gender, prior domain knowledge), and (b) to examine the relation between a number of student and course characteristics and study time. Data included course-specific study time recordings across the entire term, grades for 14 courses, expert ratings of six course characteristics, and other data from the records of 168 freshmen in business economics. For most courses, study time predicted grades, even beyond student characteristics. However, there were differential results depending on the course considered, stressing the importance of examining relations at course level instead of globally across courses. As to study time, course characteristics were strong predictors.},

A model was proposed where performance in college, both cumulatively and for a current semester, was jointly determined by previous knowledge and skills as well as factors indicating quality (e.g., study environment) and quantity of study. The findings support the proposed model and indicate that the amount of study only emerged as a significant predictor of cumulative GPA when the quality of study and previously attained performance were taken into consideration. The findings are discussed in terms of the insights provided by applying the framework of deliberate practice to academic performance in a university setting.},

volume = {63},
shorttitle = {Effort and {Reward}},
abstract = {The relation between college grades and self-reported amount of effort was examined in four major and several minor investigations of undergraduates in a large state university. Grades were operationalized mainly by using grade point average (GPA), though in one investigation grades in a particular course were the focus. Effort was measured in several different ways, ranging from student estimates of typical study over the term to reports of study on specific days. Despite evidence that these self-reports provide meaningful estimates of actual studying, there is at best only a very small relation between amount of studying and grades, as compared to the considerably stronger and more monotonic relations between grades and both aptitude measures and self-reported class attendance. The plausible assumption that college grades reflect student effort to an important extent does not receive much support from these investigations. This raises a larger question about the extent to which rewards are linked to effort in other areas of life—a connection often assumed but seldom investigated.},

abstract = {This study investigated the relationship between learning approach, time spent studying and grades awarded. A class of mechanical engineering students (N=34; male) were asked to keep an hour-by-hour study diary for one week. The Biggs' Study Process Questionnaire (SPQ) provided measures of these students' approach to study tasks. Use of a surface approach to learning was found to be positively correlated with both high attendance in class and greater hours of independent study time. The former is explained by the surface learner's need for the lecturer to define the course; the latter by the inefficiency of a surface approach. Poor grades in spite of long study hours mirror an inefficient surface approach. This finding suggests the need for individual study counselling. Case studies show that the use of a deep approach does not result in good grades unless accompanied by sufficient work. The diary method in conjunction with the SPQ appears to be a promising method for researching workload, study times and other related variables.},

Yet, the only systematic investigation of this relationship, a 12-year project at the University of Michigan, repeatedly found little to no correlation between hours studied and grades. The study presented here replicated parts of this project but did so with a different conceptualization of effort. This new perspective views effort as the outcome of an "academic ethic," a student worldview that emphasizes diligent, daily, and sober study. This article shows how this concept can be operationalized and measured and provides evidence for its existence among some students at Illinois State University. It then shows a significant and meaningful relationship between methodical, disciplined study and academic performance. It closes by considering how the selectivity of colleges and universities would affect the findings and suggests some new directions for research.},

Many attempts have been made in the literature to relate the time spent
studying to academic achievement - see, e.g.
\cite{schuman_effort_1985, zulauf_use_1999, michaels_academic_1989, dickinson_effect_1990}.
The overwhelming consensus is that there is a significant relationship,
though it is a weak one.
%Many of the studies were only performed over

% literature is that a significant relationship exists, though it is a weak one.

Further research is needed to develop a better model of how the choice of
hydration strategy is related to academic performance. We
suspect that there is a compounding effect that leads to $S_\text{L}$ being an
even worse choice of hydration strategy: When the queue is long, students are
less likely to refill their empty water bottles, leading to reduced mental
ability. Nevertheless, we believe that with this work we have laid a solid
foundation and hope that our results will find widespread acceptance among the
local student population.
