This study investigates the associations among students’ school grade
levels, academic procrastination and under-achievement, math grades and
self-regulated learning (SRL). A significant multivariate effect of school
grade level and academic under-achievement on self-regulated learning was
found, indicating that higher student grade level and more academic
under-achievement result in more academic procrastination. Math grades did
not have an impact on academic procrastination. SRL was significantly and
negatively correlated with academic procrastination, suggesting the urgency
of fostering SRL in schools.
