This study investigates the impact of study habits on the achievement in mathematics of secondary school students, with a specific focus on the influence of sex and type of school management. The primary objective is to identify the relationship between study habits and students’ achievement in mathematics and to test the hypotheses formulated based on these objectives. The Adolescent’s Study Habits Scale for Mathematics Learning developed by the researcher (2024) serves as the main tool for assessing the study habits of students. Achievement in mathematics is measured using the students’ previous year mathematics marks. The sample consists of 240 IX class students selected from government, private aided and private unaided schools in Bengaluru Urban District. Data analysis includes descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation, along with an independent ‘t’ test and coefficient of correlation. The findings of the study provide knowledge into how study habits influence the mathematical achievement of secondary school students. The results revealed a significant relationship between study habits and achievement in mathematics. There are no significant changes between boys and girls’ mathematics achievement and students from private unaided schools scored better compared to those from private aided and government schools. This could be attributed to better academic environments, resources and support systems in private unaided schools.
