Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of student growth journals on the development of planning skills and study among students. Methodology: This study was a post-event study. The statistical population of the second year elementary and first and second year high school students in Tehran and Alborz provinces in the 2017-18 academic year was 683989. Using Cochran's formula of 1890 people, the sample size was determined and selected by multi-stage random sampling method. A combined questionnaire consisting of two questionnaires of Dr. Seif's planning and study skills and question growth journals was used. The face validity of the questionnaire was assessed and determined by 10 experts. The reliability of the questionnaire with Cronbach's alpha was 0.7. Data were analyzed using frequency percentage, mean and standard deviation, univariate t-test, chi-square and analysis of variance using SPSS software. Results: The results of two-way analysis of variance test (gender interaction and course) showed that there was a significant difference between the effect of reading growth journals on general study skills, between male and female students and in study courses. In other words. The effect of these journals on general reading skills in girls is more than boys (f = 3.907, P <0.048, θ = 0.02). Conclusion: The results showed that the study of journals has improved the development of planning skills and course study, including: planning and scheduling of course study and preparation for exams in students. The extent of this effect was higher among female students than male students.
