Time Management and Procrastination During Online Learning

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship between students’ time management and delays in doing academic assignments while learning online at the Faculty for Teacher Training and Education. This was a quantitative study. The population was students of FKIP UPI YPTK Padang, the Department of Informatics Engineering and of English Education. Purposive sampling was used, with a focus on students who are accustomed to doing online lectures with the Learning Management System (LMS) application in the form of Edmodo and Schoology applications. Data were collected through a questionnaire distributed online via Google Forms. The results showed that the correlation between time management and postponement of academic assignments was 0.6546, which meant that time management had a moderate correlation with academic procrastination. Thus, it can be concluded that students learning online may experience conditions that are less stable for managing their time to work on academic assignments.
