Why This Indicator Matters

Students were asked, "How much time do you spend on a school day (before and after school) doing schoolwork at home?"

Good study habits foster academic success, but may not come naturally for students. Learning effective strategies for studying can reduce student stress and improve overall grades. Studying is taking time independently to understand concepts learned in class and can include such methods as making flashcards, taking detailed notes, making outlines and reading.

Notes

Since 1995, the Center for Drug and Health Studies at the University of Delaware has administered an annual survey to public school students about alcohol, tobacco and drug use. The Delaware School Survey is an annual survey of 5th, 8th and 11th grade public school student in Delaware. This study is the continuation of a survey that was first administered to Delaware students in Spring, 1989. Since 2004, the Delaware School Survey has been jointly sponsored by the Delaware Legislature through the Delaware Health Fund and Prevention Block Grant funding. It has become a valuable tool in assessing trends of questions on school behavior, health habits and parental interaction. In recent years, the study has shown an increased interest in safety, parental involvement, educational needs and healthy lifestyles.
