different factors affecting their study habits in terms of:

Time

Management

Teacher
The

Environment

State

of Health

Financial
Academic

Responsibilities
Family

3. If there a significant difference on the study

habits of the working students when grouped
according to profile?

used the frequency method and percentage.
Mean was used in determining the average responses
of the respondents on the factors affecting their study
habits.

habits of the working students who grouped
according to Profile, T-test and Analysis or Variance
(ANOVA) was used.
The researcher used the software Statistical Package
for the Social Sciences Package for the (SPSS) to
arrive at much accurate computation of the data
processed for t-test and Analysis or Variance
(ANOVA)
