The negative effects of academic procrastinaton in terms of academic

performance to the selected Grade 11 students at Samson College of Science and

Technology

Introduction

Academic procrastination was negatively correlated with academic achievements.

However, higher correlations were found for specific task grades measured, when grades

were not self-reported, when procrastination was self-reported and when performance

was externally observed. (Kim and Seo, 2015)

In addition, Academic procrastination usually refers to the voluntary delay of an

intended course of study-related action despite expecting to be worse off for the delay.

Statement of the problem

This study aims to determine the negative effects of academic procrastination in

terms of academic performance. The researchers will provide the following questions:

1. What are the negative effects of Academic procrastination in terms of academic

performance of the students?

2. How the academic procrastination does negatively affects the academic

performance of the students?

3. What are the consequences of doing academic procrastination in terms of

academic performance of the students?

Assumptions

1. The negative effects of academic procrastination in terms of academic

performance of the students are delay on projects, low results of their grades,

and having a lack of learnings on their academics.

2. The academic procrastination negatively affects the academic performance of

the students on their academic activities, curricular, exams, and projects.

3. The consequences of doing academic procrastination in terms of academic

performance of the students are getting low grades on academics, lacking of

time on academics, and having high chance of failure on particular academic

subject.

The result and findings of this study about the negative effects of academic

procrastination in terms of academic performance to the selected grade 11 students at

the Samson College of Science and Technology will both benefit to the students, parents
