Understanding Students’ Behaviors in Using University Facilities
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 29, Issue 3
Abstract
This study explores the natural and salient behaviors of university students within key areas of the campus, focusing on both social and personal aspects of their actions. Specifically, the research aims to identify patterns of student behavior in three primary locations: the library, learning halls, and classrooms. Using a qualitative observational approach, the researchers observed students over a five-day period, accumulating 50 hours of data. Behaviors were categorized based on how students interacted with the facilities: using them for studying (FLS), using technology (FT), resting or lounging (FRL), mismanaging the space (FNMP), and properly managing the space (FMP). Findings revealed that studying, technology use, and resting were most common in libraries and learning halls, while classroom behavior mostly involved proper management of space. Mismanagement of facilities was seen only in learning halls. Importantly, the study uncovered a complex, non-linear interaction of behaviors, often overlapping within the same space. This research offers valuable insights into how students of the University of St. Louis Tuguegarao, particularly those in the Bishop Constant Jurgens Campus, use and manage campus facilities.
