Introduction

Background Information

This research focuses in the Effects of Procrastination in the Academic Performance of Grade 10- Platinum S.Y. 2018 – 2019. There are 27
male respondents and 23 female respondents with a total of 50 respondents. They were purposively chosen by the researchers. The researchers were
determined to know the possible effects of procrastination in the academic performance of the respondents. The researchers became interested to
identify the effects of procrastination in order to improvethe academic performance of Grade 10 students.
Objectives of the Study

This study aims to:

1.Determine the Effects of Procrastination in the Academic Performance of Grade 10- Platinum S.Y. 2018 – 2019
2.Identify ways to eliminate Procrastination among the respondents
3.Recommend strategies that will improve the Academic Performance of the respondents

Statements of the Problem

This study sought to answer the following:

1.What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of the following:

1.1Sex
1.2Age

2.What are the Effects of Procrastination in the Academic Performance of Grade 10 – Platinum S.Y 2018 – 2019?

3.What are the possible ways to eliminate procrastination among the respondents?
Review of Related Literature

Procrastination is the prevalent and pernicious form of self-regulatory failure that is not entirely understood. Hence, the relevant conceptual, theoretical,
and empirical work is reviewed, drawing upon correlational, experimental, and qualitative findings. A meta-analysis of procrastination’s possible causes
and effects, based on 691 correlations, reveals that neuroticism, rebelliousness, and sensation seeking show only a weak connection.

The behavior of academic procrastination is quite common among students. Students can’t show their real performances in learning processes and they
fail because of procrastination behaviors. Determining the reasons of this behavior can decrease students’ behaviors and help them show their
performances. In this context, the goal of this research is to determine how the variables of self – regulation, self – efficacy, life satisfaction, hope and
other descriptive variables, which are mentioned in the related literature about academic procrastination, explain academic procrastination behavior in the
regression model.

Researchers and practitioners have long regarded procrastination as a self – handicapping and dysfunctional behavior. In the present study, the authors
proposed that not all procrastination behaviors either are harmful or lead to negative consequences. Specifically, the authors deffentiated two types of
procrastination: passive procrastinations versus active procrastinators. Passive procrastination are procrastinators in the traditional sense.

Conclusion

Findings

The results of the study revealed the following facts:

1.Majority or fifty-four percent (54%) of the respondents are male with a frequency of twenty seven (27), ranking first.

2.Majority or eighty – six percent (86%) of the respondents belonged to the age bracket of 15 – 16 years old with a frequency of forty-three (43), ranking
first.

3.Most if the respondents agreed that they didn’t pass school works on time due to procrastination with the highest mean of four point zero-two (4.02)

4.Most of the respondents agreed that they would set a productive mindset to minimize procrastination with the highest mean of four point eighteen (4.18)

It has been discovered that majority of the respondents are male and fall under the age bracket of 15 – 16 years old. It was found that the most significant
effect of procrastination in the academic performance of grade 10- Platinum S.Y. 2018 – 2019 is that they didn’t pass school works on time. It was also
revealed that the least possible effect is that they created horrible tasks. This research proved as well that the most significant way to minimize
procrastination is that they should set a productive mindset and the least possible way is that they should always think that their parents are their
motivation.
Recommendations

Based on the findings and conclusions drawn. The researchers offer the following recommendations.

1.Students should set to deadline for their school works.

2.The teachers can give additional points to students who will pass their test on time.

3.The parents should give their children time to use their gadgets so that they have tive to review or do their projects.

4.The administrative can conduct seminar regarding the effects of procrastination.
