Abstract

Academic procrastination has been one of the major problems among students fromdifferent levels of education, specifically for college students. The purpose of this studyis to examine the effect of problem solving skill, a kind of cognitive skill, as well asacademic motivation on academic procrastination behaviors of university students. Inthis explanatory correlational research study, 509 college students who enrolled in anextensive English language program at a public university in Turkey were included. Asdata collection tools, Tuckman procrastination scale, academic motivation scale andproblem solving skill inventory were used. After testing our proposed theory throughStructural Equation Modelling (SEM), we found that problem solving skill had a strongeffect on academic procrastination. We provided evidence showing that academicprocrastination was a function of problem solving skill and academic motivation,rather than driven by intrinsic or extrinsic motivation. The current study emphasizesthat academic procrastination behavior is related to the problem solving skill andpresents a different perspective that should be taken into consideration in dealingwith academic procrastination behaviors.

Özet

Akademik erteleme, farklı eğitim kademelerinden öğrenciler ve özellikle üniversite öğrencileri için en büyük sorunlardan biri olmuştur. Bu araştırmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin akademik erteleme davranışları üzerine etki eden akademik motivasyonun yanı sıra, bilişsel bir beceri olan problem çözme becerisinin etkisini incelemektir. Araştırma ilişkisel tarama deseniyle, Türkiye'de bir devlet üniversitesinde İngilizce hazırlık programına kayıtlı 509 üniversite öğrencisiyle yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak, Tuckman Erteleme Ölçeği, Akademik Motivasyon Ölçeği ve Problem Çözme Becerisi Envanteri kullanılmıştır. Önerilen teorinin Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi (YEM) kullanılarak test edilmesinden sonra, problem çözme becerisinin akademik erteleme üzerinde güçlü bir etkiye sahip olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca, akademik ertelemenin içsel ya da dışsal motivasyon tarafından yönlendirilmek yerine problem çözme becerisi ve motivasyonunun bir işlevi olduğunu gösteren sonuçlar araştırmada yer almaktadır. Mevcut araştırma, akademik erteleme davranışının problem çözme becerisiyle ilişkili olduğuna vurgu yaparak, akademik erteleme davranışlarının çözümünde dikkate alınması gereken farklı bir bakış açısı ortaya koymaktadır.
