 CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction.

Procrastination is a phenomenon that can affect all areas of a

person’s life. It comes from the Latin

“pro,” which means forward, and “castings,” which means tomorrow (Mish,

1994). It Is a tendency to put off, avoid, or delay activities. It has

also been characterized as “delaying task completion to the point of

passing private discomfort” or an intentional delay of an intended

course of action.

Many things and consequences in our daily work are often needed

to do with minor or even large amounts of effort. Despite having

multiple works and obligations to do, students often show an

incredible struggle towards self-regulatory failure that is not

entirely understood.

Currently, procrastination has been a common phenomenon passing in

our diurnal lives. This practice can be observed almost everywhere, in

our home, at work, and especially at school. In this fast-paced era

where everything seems to be moving quite relatively fleetly. Some

students find it difficult to manage their tasks and so they tend to

result to procrastinate. Students frequently misunderstood why they

always came up to lay their hands down when it comes to a bunch of

Page | 1
homework and

Page | 2
projects to do. Some will say that it is only a negative reaction to a

usual negative reaction to various activities that they need to

finish. This is known to be lazy in the first place and cramming on

every possible way, also they will rush to finish their obligation at

the end like “beating the red light”.

This form of procrastination is academic procrastination, it is

a less studied and common form of procrastination that deserves much

more attention than what it has received. It is the tendency to put

off or delay school-related activities and behaviors. Academic

procrastination occurs with scholars of all ages, whether those

students are attending grade academy or pursuing some type of

educational attainment or degree. Students procrastinate on a wide

variety of activities and in a wide variety of circumstances, whether

it is putting off completing a project, grading papers, or going for a

school program.

Procrastination has been shown to have colorful negative goods

on private well-being. It has been shown to affect stoked stress and

remorse. Procrastinators frequently report having passions of

particular failure due to their procrastination and frustration

regarding their incapability to start before. Furthermore,

procrastination can also pertain to enjoyable activities, where people

put off pleasurable pursuits. Although procrastination might function

as a short-term mood repair, in the long run, it has negative

consequences on subjective well- being. It exists and is supported by

Page | 3
preference loops and can be either

Page | 4
stable or evanescent. Procrastinating is a choice if the students

stick to this act of mindset or not.

The researchers conducted this study in the long run students are

dealing with procrastination which is a tough issue to handle, but if

you take the necessary time to read this study and formulate a valid

plan of action, and if you then, follow through on this plan, you will

have an excellent chance at overcoming or reducing your

procrastination. You may have looked for advice on the topic, and saw

that there is a lot of information out there about the Perception of

Senior High School Students on academic

procrastination.

Laeus (2015) explains that Procrastination is the avoidance of

doing a task that needs to be fulfilled. He further states that

procrastinating is the process of doing further enjoyable effects in

place of lower enjoyable bones or carrying out less critical tasks

rather than further critical bones, therefore putting off brewing

tasks to an after time. Etymologically, "procrastination" is deducted

from the Latin verb procrastinate — to put off until hereafter. But

it's further than just freely delaying. Procrastination is also

deduced from the ancient Greek word akrasia — doing commodity against

our better judgment. The negative goods of Procrastination can range

from simply missing a deadline on an important task to a commodity

more long-term, like a missed occasion that kills a dream. Some of us

might be lucky enough to identify our tendency to procrastinate in

Page | 5
time and still do commodity about it.

Page | 6
 The worst thing about procrastinating is the moment you realize

that you're two, five, or ten times your age, and nothing has changed.

Procrastination seems to come on with full force when we entertain the

study of pretensions, wanting to achieve or change commodity. You might

have a strong desire to change, but you can't feel to take the first

step forward. Scholars frequently procrastinate because they don't see

how a design is applicable or important to them, don't understand the

material, or just don't know how to get started. When you boil it down,

Procrastination is a combination of provocation, confidence, and

appreciation issues.

Procrastination can harm scholars' practice, grades, and, indeed,

their overall health. Scholars who procrastinate advanced experience

situations of frustration, guilt, stress, and anxiety — in some cases

leading to serious issues like low tone- regard and depression. The

goods of Procrastination can have an indeed bigger impact on high

academy scholars. Once scholars reach high academy and start entering

further take-home assignments and larger systems, scholars who

procrastinate until the last nanosecond tend to admit lower grades

than their peers. This can produce a cycle of bad grades and low-tone-

confidence that can be delicate for scholars to overcome. At a time

when marks start to impact the post-secondary openings for scholars,

this can lead to a lot of redundant stress and frustration.

Page | 7
 Academic Procrastination is a current miracle with a range of

negative issues. Numerous studies concentrated on the causes and

supplements of academic Procrastination; still, the study of

interventions for academic Procrastination is scarce. Dilmac, (2009).

countries that Procrastination appears to be a disquieting miracle,

people most explosively characterized it as being bad, dangerous, and

foolish. Numerous scholars don't know that their inability to read is

the problem of delaying their time to studies, but they're engaged

more in enjoyable effects from which they can't profit. Also, the

scholars who study their books perform better than those who aren't

serious.(Thomas 2014).

Students may suffer academic procrastination when dealing with

frequent deadlines and examinations, causing them to delay their

coursework despite feeling worse (Steel & Klingsieck, 2016).

Procrastination is more common among scholars than in other sectors of

the population. This causes them to delay their coursework and may

affect their academic progress, despite feeling worse. Driving

scholars' provocation, like introducing technologies,

helps to reduce procrastination. Procrastination

can not be defined as a person designed to delay completing a task due

to people having differing comprehensions regarding detention (Van

Eerde, 2003). In addition to a person intending to delay a task,

another description element is that procrastination is "dispensable"

in nature or avoidable. This

conception is demanded because some people delay completing a task on

Page | 8
purpose to complete more important tasks. Therefore, when more

Page | 9
important tasks are demanding to be completed, delaying working on

lower or less important tasks would not be considered procrastination.

When people delay completing the lower tasks, a person is managing

their time efficiently. An illustration of procrastination being

avoidable is when a person chooses to delay completing an important

task to a more favorable and less important task, similar to

fraternizing with musketeers. Scholars may suffer academic

procrastination when dealing with frequent deadlines and examinations,

causing them to delay their coursework despite feeling worse (Steel &

Klingsieck, 2016). Procrastination is more common among scholars than

in other sectors of the population. Tuckman (1990) has defined

procrastination as the lack or absence of tone-regulated performance,

the tendency to put off or fully avoid an exertion under one's control.

Procrastination is a pervasive mortal event that over 600 tone-help

books address this miracle result (Ferrarri,2010).

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to broaden the knowledge of the readers

about academic procrastination. It specifically seeks to answer

the following question:

1. 1. How may the profile of the respondents be described in

terms of:

1.1 age;

1.2 sex;

1.3 grade last semester;

2. What is the extent of manifestation of the following reasons

behind the effects of procrastination on the academic

performance of HUMSS students:

2.1 family problem;

2.2 school works;

2.3 personal matters;

2.4 social media trends?

3. What impact does procrastination have on a Senior High School

HUMSS

students’ academic performance?

4. What are the effects of procrastination in Senior High School

HUMSS

students’ mental health?

Page | 11
HYPOTHESIS

Ho- There is no significant relationship between academic performance of

HUMSS students in Bongabon Senior High School in Procrastination.

Ha- There is a significant relationship between academic performance of

HUMSS students in Bongabon Senior High School in Procrastination.

Conceptual Framework.

Procrastination is common in academic contexts, especially

in environments where students have to meet deadlines for

assignment completion, requiring students’ time and concentration

(Gafni & Geri, 2010). This situation requires students to manage

their time constantly throughout the semester. Inadequate self-

regulation, which manifests itself as procrastination, is

connected to a variety of negative study behaviors (Stewart,

Stott, & Nuttall, 2016).

On the other hand, procrastination does not simply result from

a deficit in time management or ineffective study habits; it

involves a complicated interaction among behavioral,

affective, and cognitive elements (Dunn,2010).

Page | 12
 Figure I. Research Paradigm

Figure I illustrates the research paradigm. The researchers

will be used the system analysis approach of input-process-

output.

The input shows the profile of the respondents in terms of:

age, sex, grade last semester. It also shows the manifestation

of the reasons behind the effects of procrastination on the

academic performance of HUMSS2students.

Moreover, the Process shows the data gathering procedure

and statistical treatment used in the study. Survey

questionnaire was included in data gathering procedure. While

in statistical treatment, frequency count, rank, weighted mean

and correlation matri0ux were used. Furthermore, the Output

shows the identification of the profile respondents and the

reasons behind the effects of procrastination on the academic

performance of HUMSS students.

Page | 13
Significance of the Study

The outcome of the study will be significant to the

following:

Students- Students will benefit from this research since it will

inform them about the effects of procrastination on their

academic performance and mental health. As a result, the study

may be able to assist students in coping with or avoiding

procrastinating their academic activities.

Teachers- The benefit of this study is also for the teachers to

understand and get insight into the causes and factors that

influence students2‘procrastination.

Parents- The study also benefits the parents because this

information can be added as another perspective for how to

encourage their children to study in a productive manner rather

than allowing them to engage in procrastination.

Future Researchers- This study of us can be a bridge to a question

that needs to be answered and to be studied by another research.

Page | 14
SCOPE AND LIMITATION

This research study focuses on the Effects of Academic

Procrastination in Grade 12 HUMSS students of Bongabon Senior

High School. The data will be conducted on Grade 12 HUMSS Senior

high school students of Bongabon Senior High School S.Y 2021-

2022, who will represent the population of this research study.

The other students who are not in Grade 12 and not taking the

HUMSS Strand are not within the scope of this2research.

The gathering of data and information will be a

questionnaire to the students as a survey and reference. Through

this strategy of data gathering, the Grade 12 HUMSS Students of

Bongabon Senior High School will be aware of the effects of

procrastination and how procrastination can affect the students'

academic performance. This research study focuses on who will

benefit from this topic and how beneficial this research study

can be for the students. This can benefit the readers and the

students by receiving more information and2 data

about certain topics that they don't understand.

 CHAPTER II. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter discusses the research design, the sample and

the sampling procedure used in selecting them, the data gathering

instruments and procedure of collecting data as well as

statistical tools for data treatment and analysis that comprise

the whole research design.

Research Design

According to Williams (2007) descriptive research is a

research method that can determine the situation in current

phenomenon. A descriptive design involving a survey, as outlined

by LoBiondo-Wood & Harber (2006), is chosen for this study. It is

proposed that this survey will collect details of the importance

effects of the academic procrastination in grade 12 humss

students of bongabon senior high school.

The research design used in the study was descriptive

Page | 18
research design. In general, a descriptive research study is a

quantitative method of research in which the purpose of this

study is to observe, describe and document aspects of a

situation

Page | 19
Research Locale

This research was conducted at Bongabon Senior High School

(BSHS) at Brgy. Sinipit, Bongabon, Nueva Ecija. Specifically,

this was conducted among Humanities and Social Science (HUMMS)

students.

Bongabon Senior High School (BSHS) is a 3-year stand alone

Senior High School in the Division of Nueva Ecija. Bongabon

Senior High School has two tracks, Academic and Technical

Vocational and Livelihood (TVL) track. The academic track has

four strands: Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM),

Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), General Academic Strand

(GAS), and Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics

(STEM). While, Beauty Care, Agri-Crop Production, Hilot

Wellness Massage, Food and Beverage, and Cookery were

offered in TVL Track.

Page | 20
Sample and Sampling Procedure

The respondents of the study were Senior High School Students

of Bongabon Senior High School. There were 154 grade 12 students

from Humanities and Social Sciences included in this study. These

respondents were chosen using random sampling. Random sampling,

or probability sampling, is a sampling method that allows for the

randomization of sample selection, i.e., each sample has the same

probability as other samples to be selected to serve as a

representation of an entire population.

In addition, slovins formula was the formula we used because

the respondents were the Grade 12 students from HUMMS strand who

were easily accessible to provide the data that was needed to

study.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researcher created the survey-questionnaire in order to

determine the sources of The Perception of Senior High School

HUMSS Students on Academic Procrastination.

The researcher will formulate an instrument after extensive

reading of related articles, studies, and literature guided by

the research adviser. In terms of testing the reliability of the

research

instrument,2the2researcher2will2conduct2the22dry2run2of2the2quest

ionnaire2among2the2learners from other school who are not the

target respondents of the research.

In this case, the questionnaire will be subjected for dry run to

Senior High School HUMSS learners. A Google form containing the

questions will be sent to respective respondents for reliability

test to adhere with the Inter- Agency Task Force (IATF) on Emerging

Infection Diseases protocols as regards to physical distancing.

Cronbach Alpha will be used to test the internal consistency and

reliability2of each item in the questionnaire.

Page | 23
Statistical Treatment

Researchers gathered were organized and quantified using the

percentage of the frequency of occurrence, the weighted mean,

and the ranking methods. Statistical quantification of the

data using the percentage of the frequency of occurrence was

done using the formula shown below:

% = F/N x 100 Where:

% = Percentage

F = Frequency2 of2occurrence

N = number of respondents

On the other hand, the weighted mean or degree mean of

responses was determined by applying the following

formula:

WM = TWF/N Where:

 CHAPTER IV. SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

SUMMARY

The overall goal of this study is to determine the academic

deferral of students in the HUMSS strands of Bongabon Senior High

School. Students can learn from research about the consequences

of procrastinating in their academics, including what it means

for their studies and grades. Because of procrastinating in the

classroom has a significant impact on students. And the

researcher created a survey questionnaire with 25 questions and

four options in this question using this Scale : agree, strongly

agree, disagree, strongly disagree, and based on the number of

replies, the agree and strongly disagree were the most

favored.Respondents' poor time management and procrastination in

academic work could be due to their domestic responsibilities,

which include helping their families. Furthermore, based on the

findings, this study demonstrates how to overcome

procrastination. Procrastination can be overcome by developing

effective time management skills and creating daily goals to

meet. They can overcome this (academic postponement) if they

understand the cause and effect of it, because understanding the

cause and effect can help them prevent academic postponement.

CONCLUSIONS

Based from the research that has been done, the findings for

this research has successfully define the procrastination’s

behavior problems among the Senior High School students of

Bongabon Senior High School. All the findings from this

investigation had been answered from the research objectives.

Some respondents answered lack of concentration or focus as one

of the many reasons why this reason occurs in children and some

adults is result of ADHD, a disorder that creates lack of

concentration and lack of controlling energetic behavior. It can

also mean that it’s hard for the person to be organized with

their life and turns it into a habit. Children with poor

concentration in school and educational work, can affect them

later on in life if not treated or start to be organized in their

own time. Based from the answers of the respondents about what

they feel about the consequences of procrastination, most of them

answered frustration, stress, pressure, and anxiety. They are

stressed to themselves for not doing the tasks on time and end up

regretting after. Good and proper time management skills is the

most important key to overcome procrastination according to the

respondents, the highest achievers manage their time

exceptionally well. You can improve your ability to function more

effectively – even when time is tight and pressures are high.

Some of the student answered being restricting themselves from

Page | 43
procrastinating and must commit to the task is how they are

dealing with procrastination, and being motivated helps students

to overcome procrastination. Motivation helps to energize, direct

and sustain positive behavior over a long period of time. It

involves working towards goals and tailoring activities to

achieving this purpose. It also helps to drive creativity and

curiosity, sparking the desire needed for students to want to

learn more. Students tend up to use up more time using gadgets

than on studying. Some students answered avoid using gadgets too

much to keep the students focus on their tasks. Using gadgets

apparently affects student's study habits and academic

performance. In conclusion, a student can overcome

procrastination by becoming aware of its causes and effects and

develop their time management skills. Knowing the causes and

effects of procrastination will broaden one's understanding to

become aware of this matter. Time management is an efficient way

to totally overcome procrastination. It helps oneself to organize

their time wisely to do tasks productively. Although

procrastination is a student's worst enemy, it can still be

defeated.

Page | 44
RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the findings and conclusion of the study, here are

several recommendations to be considered:

* Students should practice self-discipline, time management and

should have enough commitment of doing their works.

* Parents should be responsible for reminding their children the

limitations of their habits that distracts them and must help

their children boost and build up self-confidence.

* Parents should help their children establish a routine or TO DO

list and help them stick to it.

* Teachers should consider the tasks that are given to the

students and be aware that a lot of requirements for the students

will lead them to confusion on what task to do first. This will

result to procrastination.
