Abstract

Study applications are software systems created to improve students' learning experiences. This study explored the relationship between third-year regular BSMLS students' usage pattern of study applications and their academic performance during the first semester of the A.Y. 2024-2025. Additionally, in this descriptive, quantitative study, a total of 123 students from 6 sections participated from April to May 2025. Likert scale was utilized to determine the usage patterns particularly frequency, purpose, and usage of study apps. Based on the results, 106 respondents (85.4%) were study application users while 17 respondents (14.6%) were non-users. Out of the ten categories of study application, the most prevalent were general study tools (82.9%), indicating that students prioritize multi-purpose platforms for organizing and taking down notes and resources. Based on the Kruskal Wallis Test, there was no statistically significant difference in study application utilization grouped according to their frequency, purpose, and usage—and the academic performance of students. Upon conducting Spearman’s rank-order correlation, with a rho value of 0.165, and a p- value of 0.94, the results showed that at the 0.05 confidence level, there was no significant correlation between the study application usage patterns and academic performance of third year regular Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science students.
