This study aimed to develop a prediction model to classify students based on their academic procrastination tendencies, which were measured and classified as low and high using a self-report tool developed based on the students' assignment submission behaviours logged in the learning management system's database. The students' temporal learning…

Academic procrastination is a behaviour that delays the completion of tasks, time management or other academic activities. However, it is possible to develop interventions that eliminate or minimise this procrastinating behaviour. This study presents a systematic review of the literature following the PRISMA method guidelines, with the aim of…

This study aims to examine how external locus of control (eLoC) impacts students' academic procrastination behaviors in asynchronous distance education with regard to compulsive internet habits, cyberloafing, disrespect for copyright, learning goal orientation, and self-efficacy. The sample comprised a total of 916 undergraduate students.…

The purpose of this retrospective study was to test the association of simple timeliness measures with academic performance in an online quantitative reasoning course using data extracted from gradebooks (N = 157). Guided by the Social Cognitive Model, timeliness was assumed to be a consistent behavior chosen by the student based on personal goals…

Online learning has recently replaced traditional offline learning as the mainstream learning model for Chinese college students owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined the relationship between online self-regulated learning and academic procrastination among 1149 Chinese undergraduates who participated in online learning. The effects…

During their first year of study at university, many students encounter challenges in developing learning strategies that align with success in the courses in which they are enrolled. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic heightened the challenges as universities were compelled to transition to online learning. Therefore, this study investigated…

Students organize and manage their own learning time, choosing when, what, and how to study due to the flexibility of online learning. Each person has unique learning habits that define their behaviours and distinguish them from others. To investigate the temporal behaviour of students in online learning environments, we seek to identify suitable…

This study aims to investigate the features of academic procrastination among higher education students in the context of forced online learning caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and wartime in Ukraine. Methods: A total of 789 higher education students enrolled in Ukrainian institutions participated in the study, responding to six questionnaires.…

We argue that time management training can help develop students' self-control, which helps students spend less time on leisure activities and more time on activities that are associated with student success. The imposition of measures meant to reduce or stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus provided an opportunity where the impact of time…

Purpose: This paper aims to explore university students' multitasking behavior in online classrooms and their influence on academic performance. Also, the study examined students' opinions. Design/methodology/approach: A total of 302 university students fulfilled an online survey. Ten questions were focused on demographic information, five items…

Time management is crucial to success in online courses in which students can schedule their learning on a flexible basis. Procrastination is largely viewed as a failure of time management and has been linked to poorer outcomes for students. Past research has quantified the extent of students' procrastination by defining single measures directly…

Student procrastination, as the voluntary delay of intended work despite expecting to be worse off for the delay, is an important factor with potentially negative consequences in student well-being and learning. In online educational settings such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), the effect of procrastination is considered to be even more…

Small private online courses (SPOCs) have influenced teaching and learning in China's higher education. Learning management systems (LMSs) are important components in SPOCs. They can collect various data related to student behavior and support pedagogical interventions. This research used feature engineering and nearest neighbor smoothing models…

The "doer effect" is the assertion that the amount of interactive practice activity a student engages in is much more predictive of learning than the amount of passive reading or watching video the same student engages in. Although the evidence for a doer effect is now substantial, the evidence for a causal doer effect is not as well…

This research aims to evaluate the challenges in facilitating online teaching for secondary education during the COVID-19 pandemic based on a case study in the western province of Sri Lanka. With the pandemic, teachers had to face many challenges concerning online teaching, as they were unprepared for the remote teaching process that was to…
