This study investigated the impact of teaching methods, family background, and home environment on the students' study habits of senior secondary schools in Lagos state. The sample comprise two hundred (200) SSS II students comprising sixty-nine (69) science-inclined, seventy-one (71) commercial-inclined and sixty (60) art-inclined students. The hypotheses were tested using One-way Analysis of variance statistics and regression coefficient. The results confirmed that the relationship between teaching methods, family backgrounds, home environments and the students' study habits is statistically significant. The findings provided educators, teachers, and students with an understanding that teaching methods, especially student-centred methods, helped them adopt
