Abstract
The aim of this research was to determine learning habits among highschool students and to determine the differences in learning habits among the students of different sex and curriculum. This research was also trying to determine whether the correlation, between learning habits and students’ success exists. It was carried out during school year 2016/2017 and comprised 73 students of second grade of Ruđer Bošković technical school and natural sciences program grammar school in Osijek divided into four groups (female students with gymnasium curriculum, male students with gymnasium curriculum, female students with ecological technician curriculum and male students with ecological technician). The research consisted of a written exam and determining learning habits individually by a survey. It was determined that students with gymnasium curriculum had better results in the written exam than ecological technician students. It was determined that there was correlation of everyday learning habits with success in the exam with gymnasium students. Correlation of comparing learning material and subjects and success was determined with female student’s ecological technician, and correlation of determining the meaning of unknown word from the text and success was determined with female students with gymnasium curriculum.
