- Abstract
Procrastination is a prevalent topic among researchers and students. It has been investigated from different theoretical perspectives, and various impacts on academic performance have been proposed. This review analyzed recent research collected from Google Scholars and journals and summarizes the impact of procrastination on academic achievement and its necessary interventions. Two different categories of procrastination are identified: active and negative procrastination and their impacts on academic performance. For intervention, examples of three types of interventions are discussed: therapeutic treatment, therapeutic prevention, and teacher intervention. As a result, academic procrastination is generally negatively correlated to academic outcomes. This review supports the needs for additional research on procrastination treatments and the establishment of an adequate understanding of the classroom interventions required to reduce procrastinatory behaviours.
