1 Background of study
Every student has their own goals to achieve in their life especially in studying as well
as them studies hard to get a better result in their examination. Also, every student has
their own study skills but they do not know the best way of techniques to study. They
have several of study techniques to remember what they learn in the class such as
memorizing and rereading. It is proved when they use their own techniques to master in
their studies.
So, this study conducts in UiTM Kota Samarahan Campus 2 which is will focus on
BM232 students only. We will focus on BM232 students because it will make easier for
us to distribute the questionnaire since we are at the same place of study. Hence, we could
also know what is the studying technique that use by the students in mastering their
studies.

1.2 Statement of the problem

According to (Dunlosky, 2013) in his article Strengthening the Student Toolbox, he
stated that many students rely on strategies rereading, highlighting and cramming the
night before exam. Quite often, students believe these ineffective strategies are actually
the most effective and at least on the surface they do seem sound perhaps because even
after pulling all-nighter, students manage to squeak by on exams. We as a student, we
know a lot of study technique but we tend to use the same one which is not really
effective. Probably to get a better grade student should use variety studying technique
such as rereading, memorizing so forth. By doing this research, we can know the
students problem in their studies such as peers influence, addiction of social media and
unable to manage the stresses. This is because majority of the students do not know the
effective ways to study. It is proven when most of them more to study hard than study
smart.
So, research is needed to explore the studying skills among BM232 students.
This research is also relevant to students where they can know the best techniques that
majority of the students used in their studying skills. We can also develop our own
personal approach to study. Besides, it will increase our awareness of how our study can
become more confident in order to increase the examination result for every semester.

1.3 Purpose of the study

The purpose of the study is to find out the different types of study techniques applied
by BM232 student. It is because every student applying different techniques in their study.
There are several skills and techniques of the study such as studying by understanding,
memorizing, and study group. Basically, this phenomenon is normal towards human being
because we possess different level of intelligent quotient (IQ). Therefore, the way we think
and we sense must be different from others.
1.4 Objectives of the study
1. To find out what are the most techniques students use in their daily study routine
2. To determine the other effective techniques study that students can use to increase
academic performance.
1.5 Research Questions
1. What is the most techniques use by students in their daily studying routine?
2. What is the other effective techniques study that students can use to increase the
academic performance?

1.7 Scope of study

Like the other studies, this particular study has its own scope. First of all, the study was
carried out in the UITM Campus 2 in Kota Samarahan. Thus, the result might only get from
BM232 students based on their perception for each items on questionnaire. The respondents
of the study are BM232 students which involve 50 students. This study starts from week 1
until week 6, so the duration is 6 weeks.
