Análise dos hábitos de estudo dos estudantes de um curso de Administração

An analysis of the study habits of students on an Administration Course

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of study methods used by Business Administration students at a public university in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Efficient study habits are crucial in the academic environment, especially given the challenges faced in Brazil, where only 18.1% of young people between the ages of 18 and 24 are enrolled in higher education. Efficient study methods are essential for improving time management and increasing productivity in the learning process. In the field of Business Administration, where effective management of resources and processes is fundamental, the efficiency of study methods becomes even more relevant. The sample used in this research consisted of 51 Business Administration students at a higher education institution in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Data were collected through questionnaires and the answers collected were validated. This study revealed a predominantly female sample (58.82%), with 54.90% of participants aged between 21 and 24 years. It was found that 60.78% of the students had an academic development index between 6.0 and 8.0. Regarding the statement, "I review the material given shortly after the class to better understand and retain it," 43% of respondents indicated "very unlikely." The research highlighted that many students use methods such as solving exercises and active participation in class but face challenges in time management, especially those who balance study and work. These challenges directly impact academic performance and dropout rates.
