Introduction
In the modern era, every type of education has been indispensable to the learning
of students for it offers different quality of teaching and learning based on what is more
suitable for them. As part of the growing variety of education, online learning or online
class is having its presence in this time that it has been the system of education that is
being used. An online class is a course conducted over the Internet. They are generally
conducted through a learning management system, in which students can view their
course syllabus and academic progress, as well as communicate with fellow students and
their course instructor. Online classes are generally self-paced, allowing for greater
For it has been a great use, students that are under this type of learning are more prone to
learning, students are still experiencing difficulties even with the new method of learning
that has been implemented today. Aside from struggling to adapt to the online learning
environment, students are bound to experience technical difficulties such as slow internet
connection, and the lack of necessary equipment and devices suitable for learning which

can greatly affect not only their learning but also their morale and their motivation to
make progress and complete their tasks without being distracted and tempted to
procrastinate because experiencing such difficulties can make the students lose their
challenges, staying focused and managing their time effectively will be difficult and
and confidence, and lack of interest in a certain activity or the lack of credence to its
efficacy. Idleness can be an alarming problem to every student and is one of the major
difficulties that is being faced by students during online class. This laziness has its effects
on the students’ learning such as poor performance and failing grades. Students showing
that idleness is being dominant. Aside from developing idleness, students are also
beginning to procrastinate quite often. They have been putting off their impending tasks
to a later time which explains why some of them are late in turning in their tasks and why
they also have missing works. Just like idleness, procrastination should also be taken
seriously because it can take most of one’s time and make his or her schedule chaotic and
unorganized. By failing to manage their time efficiently, students won’t have enough
time to polish their work which can result in lower quality work and they will also have
less time to study which can negatively affect their learning and academic performance in
school.

Considering the effects of idleness and procrastination along with its factors,
having awareness and knowledge pertaining to these issues is necessary and crucial for
students in order for them to change their behavior in an effective manner, boost their
productivity, and manage their time efficiently and wisely which can help for the
improvement of their learning and academic performance. It is in this view that the
researchers are motivated to determine the factors that cause students' idleness and
procrastination in the online class and its effects to the performance of the students in
Meycauayan College High School Department. Through this research study, students
won’t just be able to know the effects and factors of idleness and procrastination in online
class but they will also be able to devise a solution to this problem in order to avoid these
behaviors and perform well in class, or at school in general, and to achieve better results
in terms of their productivity, the quality of their work, and overall grades. This study can
also be used to inform teachers, school administrators, and even guardians about the
existence of this problem so that they can properly guide and help the students overcome

supplemented with readings and assessments that students can complete on their own
time. But nothing is typical about education in 2020 as the coronavirus has forced a
sudden migration to online learning with little time to prepare for it. The structure of an
online classroom varies, experts say. But generally, online students regularly log in to a
learning management system, or LMS, a virtual portal where they can view the syllabus
and grades; contact professors, classmates and support services; access course materials;

numerous factors which constantly push students towards their learning goals. Face-to-

an online learning environment, however, there are fewer external factors which push the
students to perform well. In many cases, the students are left to fend for themselves
during their learning activities, without anyone constantly urging them on towards their
learning goals. Students taking E-Learning courses will find that they are often required
to learn difficult materials in a comfortable home setting without any of the added

Method of Research
This research study used the descriptive method of research in order to determine
the factors that can cause students' idleness and procrastination in the online class as well
as its effects on the performance of the students in Meycauayan College High School
descriptive method, also known as statistical research, describes data and characteristics
about the population or phenomenon being studied. This method is used to gather
information in order to test the hypothesis or to answer questions concerning the currents
status of the subject of the study. For Paler-Calmorin, L. (2010), the purpose is not only
to find the truth, but to find a new one. This same truth could take different forms and
to the discovery of truth and all its nuances. And as cited in the study of Burns and
Groves (2001), designing a study helps researchers to plan and implement the study in a
way that will help them obtain the intended results. The information gathered by the
researchers through the use of the descriptive method is necessary to support and make

Lastly, the indicator “Lack of interest in the given task” obtained a frequency of fifteen
(15) and a percentage of forty-two point eighty-six (42.86%), while the indicator “Lack

of ten (10%). All things considered, the researchers found out that the majority of the
respondents or 46.67% of them procrastinate and delay doing their tasks due to high
levels of stress, and according to the literature of Suna Wilkerson (2012), Stress can come
from many areas of life, like finances, family, and relationships. While as a student you
may not be able to control problems like an illness in the family or difficulty paying
tuition, all too often students compound these stressful situations with another source of
guilt, fear, and anxiety: procrastination. Furthermore, based on the study of Solving
Procrastination (2020), In some cases, you suffer from various hindering factors, such as
exhaustion, as well as demotivating factors, such as anxiety, which interfere with your
ability to get work done on time. When these negative factors outweigh your self-control

and motivation, you end up procrastinating, until you reach a point where the balance

(2.86%). On the other hand, the indicator “Behavior and demeanor towards the given
task”, which correlates with the lack of self confidence, poor time management, lack of
inspiration and lack of immediacy or promptness, attained a frequency of thirty (30) and
which is also related to anxiety, got a frequency of twenty-six (26) and a percentage of
thirty-seven point fourteen (37.14%), while the indicators “Unrealistic goals”, which is
also connected to unrealistic expectations, and “Others” which specified that the question
is not applicable to them, and that they do and do not have a study schedule, managed to

obtain a frequency of eight (8). However, the indicator “Unrealistic goals” has a
percentage of eleven point forty-three (11.43%), while the indicator “Others” got a
percentage of seven point sixty-two (7.62%). All things considered, the researchers found
out that the majority of the respondents or 44.76% of them are having a hard time
following their schedules and plans because of distraction, while 2.86% of them stated
that they are experiencing a lack of resources. According to Nir and Far (2021), making
distraction a habit may draw an individual away from accomplishing their tasks at home,
school or work. It may also be a cause of external triggers like mobile phones, television,
laptops, etc., and internal triggers like psychological discomforts, boredom or negative
way can help them avoid any risk of being pulled away from temptations.

percentage of thirty-one point forty-three (31.43%). For a brief summary, the majority of
45.71% of the respondents are most easily distracted by social media, while 2.86% of the
respondents do not get distracted or they rarely get distracted. According to the literature
of The Digital Age (2017), Social Media use is definitely distracting young students; and
based on the study made by Middle Tennessee State University (2015), Young people are
finding it difficult to avoid the distractions rife on social media. Furthermore, based on
the literature of the American Physiological Society (2018), Social media distraction in
the classroom interferes with visual, but not auditory, learning in college students. This is
largely because students who focus on mobile devices during class are not likely to fully

As pointed in Table 9, the indicators “Having a missing or late written work” and
“Having difficulty in learning” both obtained the highest frequency of nineteen (19) and a
percentage of fifty-four point twenty-nine (54.29%), while the indicator “Others” which
states that procrastinating doesn’t affect their grades, obtained the lowest frequency of

same frequency of eleven (11) with a percentage of thirty-one point forty-three (31.43%),
while the indicator “Struggling to catch up on the lesson” has a frequency of fourteen
(14) and a percentage of forty (40%). In short, the majority of 54.29% of the respondents
stated that procrastination and idleness affected their academic performance in terms of
having a missing or late written work, and it also made them experience difficulty in
learning. According to the literature of Adeniyi Adewale Ojo (2009), many students
prefer to postpone tasks and do pleasurable things which they can not benefit from. For
example, many students fail public examinations such WAEC, GCE and NECO yearly
because they like to postpone the time to read their books and lure to spend all their time
on social media. Additionally, based on the study of Irshad Hussain and Sarwat Sultan

may become depressed and disturbed with low confidence level which largely affects
their learning and achievement. These issues need to be resolved appropriately for

which is similar to often, got the lowest frequency of one (1), and the indicator “Never”
attained a frequency of eight (8). With a weighted mean of one point eight (1.08), the
researchers therefore conclude that the respondents sometimes missed a task or submitted
it late due to procrastination, and according to the literature of Santelli et al. (2020), Late
procrastination might be seen as a harmless trait, one of its main results are late
student’s ability or desire to complete a task on time. There are challenges online students

As stated above in table 11, the indicator “No” has the highest frequency of thirty-
one (31) and a percentage of eighty-eight point fifty-seven (88.57%), while the Indicator
“Yes” got the lowest among the two indicators which got the frequency of four (4) and a
percentage of eleven point forty-three (11.43%). All things considered, the researchers
found out that the majority of 88.57% of the respondents claim that their academic
performance, activeness and cooperation in online class are not the same as before.
According to the literature of Darienn Pitt (2020), Online learning requires much more
discipline and self-motivation to stay on task. Students have to take time to study and
apply what they are learning without being in the setting of a classroom. Furthermore,
based on the study of Headspace (n.d.), In face to face class, you'll be able to concentrate
harder on your learning because there'll be less distraction than if you were at home. You
may feel more comfortable and learn more easily in a familiar, traditional classroom
situation.
On the other hand, the respondents who answered “Yes” reasoned out that their
activeness, cooperation, and academic performance are still the same as before this online
learning was implemented for they are trying their best to cope with this learning and
they even managed to perform better in school. While the respondents who oppose their
idea explained that they encounter difficulties each day such as the difficulty in learning
and gaining knowledge in the new learning environment compared to before, there is also
a lack of concentration involved, and the workloads assigned to them are quite heavy,
unlike the manageable tasks assigned to them in the actual classroom. Furthermore, the
33
respondents also feel pressured which also plays a part in why they miss their tasks, and
they are also experiencing loss of interest which is one of the roots of their struggles in
the online class. Along with the pressure that they feel, the students also lack the desire to
put much effort into doing their tasks and they are also experiencing a lack of enthusiasm
in being active in online class which leads to a lack of motivation. For online learning to
be effective, having access to a stable internet connection is crucial, but it serves as one
of the major problems of students for they are not able to join their classes due to poor
internet connection. All things considered, the answers of the respondents came to a close
that online learning is harder than face-to-face learning, not only because of the lack of
suitable gadgets and equipment that they are experiencing but also because online
learning cannot offer what face-to-face learning can. Face-to-face classes offer a support
system like physical interaction with their friends and the people that surround them
which serves as their motivation to continue learning, and based on the study of Sandra
Okita (2020), Social interaction plays an important role in learning. Interacting with other
people has proven to be quite effective in assisting the learner to organize their thoughts,
Chapter 4
Conclusion
On the basis of the findings of this study, the researchers arrived at the conclusion
that the students experience idleness and procrastination in the online class due to the
factors such as high levels of stress, anxiety, pressure, exhaustion, fear of failure, and
lack of motivation. The students have also been experiencing a lack of emotional support,
lack of interest and understanding of the given task, as well as the lack of proper
materials and functional gadgets. These factors are the reasons that caused them to
35
procrastinate and be unproductive in the online class. On the other hand, the factors that
caused them to be distracted and get sidetracked are playing games, watching movies,
scrolling through social media, and environmental distractions due to the location of their
study area.
The frequent procrastination and idleness of the students have greatly affected
their performance in the online class in terms of having a missing or late written work,
and it also made them experience difficulty in learning. In fact, based on the gathered
data, the students have been submitting their tasks late and having a missing task only
sometimes, but not never. Other than that, their recitation points also plummeted due to
lack of knowledge and they are struggling to catch up on the lessons as well. The quality
of their works has also lowered and became poor compared to their works last year, and
these phenomena have also taken a toll on their academic grades, and it continues to
normal for them to experience difficulty in adjusting to the new academic setup because
online learning requires much more discipline and self-motivation to stay focused on
doing their tasks. The implementation of online classes has brought a major impact to the
students academic performance, activeness, and cooperation in class, not only because of
the existence of technical and internet difficulties that they often experience, but also
because the students are losing their interest, motivation, and drive to make an effort in
doing school works and participate in class. Other than that, their lack of access to
suitable and functional devices also plays a part in why they are struggling to perform
well in class, and some students may even encounter problems and difficulties due to the
36
pandemic itself which can also affect their well-being and ruin their motivation and
productivity.
Recommendations
The students are the main subject in this study and with that, they mainly
experience heavy procrastination and idleness in this current online learning set-up. To
take action to the concern, it is recommended that students should learn to properly
organize their schoolwork and manage their time wisely through the use of detailed
schedules which will help lessen the chance of procrastination and idleness, and leave
them enough time to rest. Creating a setting for goals can boost the students’ productivity
37
and that will help them continue doing their important tasks and avoid making late works.
Along with that, minimizing the distractions around them can also help them focus more
on their tasks and be productive, and it also allows them to finish more tasks unlike
before.
The school should conduct a webinar regarding the students' procrastination and
idleness in the online class in order to raise awareness about this alarming phenomenon
and to also provide the students with factual information that can serve as their guide to
avoid procrastinating. The school should collaborate not only with the teachers, school
administrators, and guidance counselors but also with professionals such as psychologists
because they can offer beneficial advice to the students which can help them to a great
extent. The awareness regarding the factors and effects of the students’ procrastination
and idleness can help the teachers guide the students who are currently struggling through
these behaviors, which can be beneficial for both sides. It can also be beneficial in terms
Because the parents and guardians are responsible for their children’s behavior, it
is advisable that they should always ask their childrean about their day, productivity and
progress, and to also learn more about their children’s self-perception, the pressures that
have been put on them, and the truth of the situation. It would be easier for parents to
establish effective parenting responses if they understand how their children are actually
viewing the situation. Parents should let their children know their opinions and
expectations since children tend to exaggerate parental expectations. They also need to
make sure that they are consistent and rational about what they expect from their
children, and their expectations should be realistic and attainable because children can

On the other hand, future researchers could increase the number of their sample
size more closely to the population in order to gather more information and help the study
have more accurate mean values, identify outliers and provide a smaller chance of an
error. This allows the researchers to decrease the uncertainty of the results or findings of
