EVALUATION OF THE ABILITY TO ORGANIZE TIME FOR STUDY

In todays society, individuals must learn to make sound decisions in short periods of time, due to the constant changes in the ways in which information is socialized and the search for continuous and multiple knowledge in professional life. Universities therefore face a number of challenges in the professional training of their students, one of which is developing the ability to organize study time, which is essential because when students dont make rational use of their time, a number of problems can be generated, especially in terms of academic performance and health. The general aim of this study, based on authors from the Historical-Cultural perspective, was to investigate the assessment that students on the Civil Engineering course at UFRN make of their ability to organize study time during their university course. It is important to understand the students assessment so that the institution can find ways to enable students to learn the skill of organizing their study time, thus improving their academic performance and their health, as well as their professional training.
