Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between study habits and learning difficulties of upper primary students in class 8 in Kanyakumari district. The study used a sample of 300 students, and employed a Normative Survey method. Data was collected using a Study Habits Scale, and Tests on Reading and Writing Skills, and analyzed using t-test and Pearson's Product Moment Correlation. The results showed that there were significant differences in study habits and reading difficulties among upper primary students based on gender and medium of instruction. There was also a significant difference in writing difficulties based on medium of instruction, but not on gender. The study found a positive correlation between study habits and reading difficulties among upper primary students, but no significant correlation between study habits and writing difficulties.
