Abstract


General Study Skills (GSS) is one of the modules that will equip students in their fundamental studies. It will help them to make use of their time and become effective learners and develop research skills and communicative skills among them. The aim of the study is to assess the performance of the written report output of the respondents in terms of their portfolio, guided learning and group oral presentation and to identify the respondents’ performance        of their learning outcome in their module along the area of management time and accepting responsibility, research skills, taking notes and giving presentation. The study employed the descriptive correlational designs as this method describes and predicts how two variables are measured which are all about the performance of students in their written report output in their portfolio, guided learning, oral group presentation and in their learning outcome on the management time and accept responsibility, research skills, taking notes, giving presentation from their General Study Skills (GSS) module. The subjects of the study comprised of Nine (9) lecturers of the General Study Skills module. Results show that performance of students in their written report output in terms of portfolio is not met, guided learning is moderately met and group oral presentation is moderately met, however; performance of students in their learning output in terms of management time and accept responsibility is moderately met, research skills is moderately met, note taking is moderately met and giving oral presentation is moderately met.
