CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
At the present time schools in
general have not much change during the
recent years because it is proven that it is
still working and useful at the current time.
But when it comes to the students itself is
a whole other story for they are the ones
who will, certainly, and constantly change
for the reason that there is always change
and it is unavoidable. For many years the
way students’ study and take their
examinations have changed because of the
many recent inventions and innovations
that made the world smaller and possibly
even simpler, these new technologies have
helped students study their very
problematic subjects that they are required
to pass. But they are many problems that
these innovations have made and these
problems can be found on students, mostly
are adolescents because they are the ones
who have the greatest chance to use the
many innovations through the years and
because they are not yet fully matured and
independent. As stated by Farran (2005)
One of the problems within the
adolescents, is the addiction to the social
media or online games which is true in
many situations, this could cause
depression, stress, academic interference
and other issues. This study will only
focus on a particular behaviour that could
be trending within the Filipino community
especially the students that may lead to
many problems.
This behaviour is called procrastination or
the delaying or postponing of something
this behaviour can be the root of the many
problems of the students in school.
Students procrastinate probably because
they think or they are certain that they
have more than enough time to finish
requirements for their assigned subjects.
The reason of their belief could have come
from the fact that compared from the past
it is now easier to complete those
requirements because of the internet,
computers, gadgets and other things as
such. But is this behaviour really a
problem among Filipino students who
study to acquire their desired careers? Or it
is just fine and that students have no
problems committing this act especially on
their studies?
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
 Is there a mental disorder for
procrastination?
 Is procrastination a weakness?
 How do you feel when other people
put off something you want you want
done soon?
 How procrastination affects academic
performances?
 How is procrastination defined?
 Why do people like to procrastinate?
 Are there any positive aspects to
procrastination and if so what are
they?
 How many levels of procrastination
are there?
CHAPTER II
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
According to Farran (2005) Academic
procrastination has been characterized as a
prevalent and problematic behavior for
college students. Based on the literature, it
was hypothesized that academic
procrastination would significantly;
inversely associate with academic self-
efficacy, academic self-concept, and
general self-esteem. It was also
hypothesized that academic procrastination
would significantly, positively associate
with both depression and anxiety. The
results of the study supported these
hypotheses. Participants who reported
higher academic procrastination also
reported higher depression and anxiety,
and more negative beliefs about their
global self-worth, self-worth relative to the
role of student, and sense of efficacy
relative to academic tasks. Based on self-
efficacy theory and the role of self-efficacy
beliefs, procrastination is a mediator of
behavior. The present study hypothesized
that self-efficacy would mediate the
relationships between depression and
academic procrastination, and also anxiety
and academic procrastination. Results
partially supported these hypotheses, as
academic self-efficacy was a partial relationships among procrastination,
mediator. Post-hoc analyses indicated that efficacy expectations, anxiety, gender, and

academic procrastination, and also a major project and to rate their efficacy

between depression and academic the project. Bivariate correlations showed
procrastination, and also anxiety and that efficacy expectations and anxiety had

management was determined to be a procrastination. When these variables were

section presented implications and
limitations of the present study, and also
suggestions for future research. Another
research in the topic focusing on the
academic procrastination by Farran (2005)
in college campuses, academic
procrastination is reported as a chronic
problem. The detrimental effects of
procrastination varied as a function of
lecture attendance and cognitive ability.
Beck reviews empirical research,
highlighting areas warranting further
inquiry, with emphasis on contrasting the
past and potential contributions of various
theoretical orientations, he did this
because the habit was a barely touch
subject. Another study by a group of
researchers including Joseph R. Ferrari, in
this study, the authors examined the
 different answers on the questionnaires
answered by the participants. Next the
researchers will create a graph depending
CHAPTER III on the answers of the participants. The

METHODOLOGY graphs will contain the different kinds of

Respondents
The chosen participants of this research are
the AUF College Freshmen. The study will
be conducted in the AUF campus. We
choose freshmen college students because
they have the prior knowledge regarding
on our study. We the researchers choose
60 college students in different courses as
our respondents who have the habit of
procrastinating.
college students in this study they are the
students who procrastinate but does not
fail in any subjects, students who
procrastinate and fails their subject (does
not matter which subject and how many
subject), and the student who does not
have the habit to procrastinate. The data
collected will determine the conclusion of
the study on whether procrastinating
significantly affects a student’s academic
performance.

Instruments

The researchers will use a questionnaire to

survey as an instrument to collect data
from our respondents. The questionnaires
will have at least 8 questions that will be
ask to our 60 respondents to know their
experiences, perceptions or opinions about
on the subject in academic procrastination
to know on how procrastination affects
their academic performances and lifestyle.
The questionnaires will also ask about the
degree of how much the respondents
procrastinate.

Statistical treatment

After the data have been collected, the

researchers will at first step tally the
