Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to analyze how generally the students use time, how rationally they use their free time, what kinds of extracurricular activities they have and how much time they devote to individual study. The study covers the students from the Faculty of Textile and Printing of the Technical University of Moldova. The method of unassisted investigation of a sample of students consisting of 50 people was used to carry out the study. Following data processing, 31 questionnaires have been validated, based on which the results and interpretations have been analyzed and presented. Having analyzed the study results, it is observed that each person spends his/her time depending on his/her: biological rhythm; state of health; personality and skills; the number of tasks/activities he/she must fulfill etc. Since each individual is different as personality, the results on time spent for the same activity is as different in many people. For example, it has been found that in order to fulfill individual tasks a person can spend an average of about 3 hours per day, while the other one, who is at the same faculty of the same group, is spending about an hour and a half. According to the chart, a student, on average, is in class 242 minutes per day, that is 4 hours; to prepare for individual tasks he/she spends about 160 minutes per day, or 2 hours and 40 minutes. According to the data from the study we can establish that a lot of time is spent for housework, physiological needs, sleep and rest. The time used for these activities by participants in the study is about 12 hours of the 24. The other 12 hours include the remaining activities they are carrying out.
