Abstract

This study attempted to find out the relationship between the socio-economic status in terms of size of family, family income, and home environment and study habits of the radiologic technology students of DLSU- EAC SY 1990-1991. Finding in this study revealed that the size of family (large, average, small) did not affect their study habits, This means that students coming from all sizes of families could have very good, good or poor study habits. In terms of family income, there were more students belonging to the high income and average income families than those belonging to low income families. Statistical analysis showed that family income significantly affected the respondents' study habits. Specifically, the study sought to answer the following questions: (1) What is the family size of each Radiologic Technology students involved in this study? (2) What is the nature of study habits of the respondents when grouped according to size of family? (3) Is there a relationship between family size and study habits of these students? (4) What is the family income of each Radiologic Technology students? (5)_ What is the nature of study habits of the respondents when grouped according to family income? (6) Is there a relationship between family income and study habits of these students? (7) What type of environment do the respondents have? (8) What is the nature of study habits of the respondents when grouped according to type of home environment? (9) Is there a relationship between the home environment and study habits of these students? It was hypothesized in this study that there is no relationship between the socio-economic status and study habits of radiologic technology students. It was hypothesized in this study that there is no relationship between the socio-economic status and study habits of radiologic technology students. The study used the descriptive survey method with the questionnaire as the major data gathering instrument. It described the relationship of certain aspects. of socio-economic status and study habits of the RT students of DLSU-EAC SY 1990-1991. The statistical measures used were the frequency percentage and chi-square test of association for the testing of the hypothesis. In the light of the findings, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) The radiologic technology students' study habits were not significantly affected by the size of their families as shown by the statistical results. (2) Family income, on the other hand, significantly affected the respondents study habits. The more resources the families had, the better the study habits of the students. (3) The respondents home environment showed no significant relationship with their study habits as evidenced by the statistical findings.
