Abstract : This study focused on examining the relationship of screen addiction and study habits of second-year BSED English students in Governor Generoso College of Arts Sciences and Technology. There is no significant relationship between screen addiction and study habits. Based on the aforementioned findings and conclusions of this study, the following recommendations were forwarded to: School Administrators, findings in this study may help to unders inform policies and funding decisions that better support students various study habits and learning. This study used a quantitative and descriptive correlation research design. Cluster Sampling was selected which consists of One Hundred (106) Second Year BSED- English students. The results indicated that excessive screen time, compulsive behavior, and loss of control are not strongly associated with how students manage their academic tasks such as note-taking, use of library resources, and allocation of time for study. This suggests that higher levels of screen exposure do not necessarily result in observable changes in the way students’ approach and sustain their study habits. The extent of study habits has a descriptive equivalent of experts used Google Forms apart with the results show that students generally practice effective study habits and have developed strategies to balance their academic responsibilities with their digital activities.
