Abstract

Procrastination is an entrenched phenomenon among adolescents. Furthermore, academic procrastination is an individual’s tendency to postpone tasks due to a lack of motivation, self-regulation, and ability. This study, therefore, aims to obtain the prevalence of academic procrastination and its implications for guidance and counseling. Data were descriptively collected from a sample of 574 high school students on their academic procrastination scale and analyzed using the described method (mean and standard deviation). The results showed 45%, 5%, 42%, and 8% of the students often, always, rarely, and occasionally participated in academic procrastination, respectively. These findings indicate that the main focus of school personnel is to improve students’ academic procrastination to achieve success.
