Just Do It! Reducing Academic Procrastination of Secondary Students
Xu, Ziwei
Intervention in School and Clinic, v51 n4 p212-219 Mar 2016
Academic procrastination is a common problem among secondary students. This paper provides secondary teachers with evidence-based strategies to reduce or prevent academic procrastination in their classrooms. Given that reducing academic procrastination is a responsibility for teachers as well as students, the paper describes teacher-administered strategies related to assignment and course design as well as student-administered strategies related to self-management and its variations. In conclusion, a framework encompassing these strategies and modifications for different learner types, the three-tier anti-procrastination (T-TAP) model, is presented.
