deals with what are the effects of procrastination to the school performance.
There were forty-eight (48) respondents randomly selected from the grade
12 learners who were enrolled to academic strand of Polomolok National High
School.
This study utilizes the descriptive probability sampling since the research
problem are composed of quantitative research questions.
To gather the data about the Reasons of Procrastination and its Effect to
the School Performance of Grade 12 Academic Track Students, the
researchers used a questionnaire with guide questions to find out the relevant
topic of the study.
The study found out in the findings of SOP 1 that 96% out of 100%
population are procrastinating in making homework studying quizzes and
exams. In SOP 2,it has a mean of 2.9 with an adjectival description which is
sometimes means that the respondents have a reason behind procrastination.

description often for the negative effects, while to the positive effects it has a

Chapter I
THE PROBLEM
Introduction
More so, on the study of Koo (2013) posted in Philippine Daily Inquirer,
She mentioned that perfectionism could also be the cause of procrastination
“Unhealthy or neurotic perfectionist” aims at unrealistic high standards and is
afraid to fail. They are also paralyzed to even initiate a work.
Specifically, this study seeks to find out the reasons of procrastination and its
effect to the school performance of grade 12 academic track students of
Polomolok National High School.
Hypotheses
The target respondents of this study are the students from senior
high school department who belongs to the academic track in
PolomolokNational High School with (15) respondents in each track the
HUMSS, ABM, STEM and GAS.
This research aims to find out the number of students who experience
procrastination on making homework and on studying for quizzes and exams.
It also seeks to find out the reasons behind procrastination of grade 12
academic track students and the effects of procrastination to their school
performance.
Furthermore, the study was limited to the grade 12 academic strand students
of Polomolok National High School who were officially enrolled in this school
year 2019-2020.
This research work was conducted with the hope to provide valuable
information to the teachers, students and to the future researchers.
To the Researchers, this will help them gain background ideas if they
will be going to take research with the same topic and also it can help them
sharpen their understanding regarding this phenomenon.

Chapter II
In this chapter, the researchers present the literature that are related to
the reasons of procrastination and its effect to the school performance of the
students. The research findings by other researchers are also presented and
discussed to provide a necessary background of this study. It also presents
foreign studies from different authors that are relevant to the research study.
On the recent study of Wong (2019) it shows that one of the factors that
lead a person to do procrastination in doing homework is the environment that
he is staying with. Sometimes the area where the person do his homework can
distract him especially when he is two steps away from bed or the computer is
nearby him and because of this distraction a person can set his mindset to do
his homework later when the deadline is near.
Procrastination have been one of the habits that is done by the students
to cope up with the requirements they need to compile when the deadline is
near. This next review reveals the related literature and that discusses the
reasons behind procrastination of the students.
The best definition for procrastination is the delaying of task that was
originally planned despite expecting to be worse off delay (Van Eerde2003).
Because the delay is irrational, people end up voluntarily choosing a course of
action that they know will not maximize their physical, psychological and
material well-being. The definition of procrastination holds a decidedly
negative denotation and connotation.
Procrastination in the academic realm holds many negative consequences
including loss of time, increased stress, lower grades, poorer health,
decreased long-term learning and lower self-esteem (Hoover2005). Even
though the outcomes produced by procrastination are overwhelmingly
negative, college students overwhelmingly engage in it. This incongruity brings
to mind one simple question: Why engage in an activity that you know, usually
from experience, is bad for you.
The first main cause is the modern technology it made easier for people to
procrastinate. The computer had applications that bring people to access
different sectors of society and distractions like checking emails, messaging
friends instantly surfing latest news, listening to music, watching videos on
YouTube, playing computer games and scrolling on social media like
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr. This computer is not only the distraction
television, cellphones, mp3 players, video games and a whole host of modern
inventions can cause serious procrastination.
In this next review show the related literature and studies that discuss
the effects of procrastination to the school performance of the students in
school.
There are many studies showing that students who engage in academic
procrastination face with various negative results of these behaviors Burka and
Yuen (1983) and Kandemir (2010). Academic procrastination behavior have
negative results such as academic failure, falling behind in the class not
attending school activities and in the worst case dropping out in the school.
Every student differs with each other each one of us had our own
weaknesses and strength. According to Grace Shangkuan Koo in inquirer
newspaper that every time must be estimated to on how long to finish the task
which means that every time that students consume their time wisely they
must anticipate the important task they need to accomplish in that certain
period of time. Sometimes students tend to say that they forget or they are not
in the mood to do the task. Another thing that Koo stated in her study that
people are more productive when they are under pressure, making the task on
last minute. They believe that they can finish it well if they do it in rush.
Procrastination appears in our daily school life and it has been linked to
several organizational and social issues nowadays. It can cause and affect
most of the characterized academic performance of an individual. It might be in
a bad or harmful for them it is according to Dilmac (2009). Once you
procrastinate you tend to delay works and you fail to accomplish the course of
action that is needed Beswick and Mann (1994).
According to Ferrari (2010) the process of experiencing uncomfortable
can cause delaying the task to be make. Instead of making school works on
time students have their time to visit their social media and playing online
games instead of making their reports and projects to pass on time. They
spend more time on social media and other unnecessary things that is not
connected to academics, because of this bad habit it can lead to poor
performance in school.
Dewitte and Lens, (2000) State that a major difference between the two
types might be their degree of adaptive. Although procrastination in general
seems to be related to several psycho pathological symptoms, this link might
be due primarily to pessimistic procrastinators and much less to optimistic
procrastinators, who seem to manage their problems reasonably well.
