Academic Procrastination Among Under Graduate Students Of Professional/ Non- Professional Courses Studying In Different Streams In Relation To Usage Of Mobile Applications

Abstract

This study investigates academic procrastination among under graduate students studying in Science & Social-science of professional/ non- professional courses in relation to usage of mobile applications (with high and low level). Random sampling was employed on the
sample of 800 students. A significant difference in academic procrastination among undergraduate students studying in different science and social-science streams was found with high, average and high and low usage of educational mobile application as well as with high, average and high and low usage of non-educational mobile applications; a significant difference in academic procrastination was found among the undergraduate students studying in Science and Social Science streams using educational mobile applications, but no significant difference in academic procrastination was found among the undergraduate students studying in Science and Social Science streams using non-educational mobile applications. A significant interaction effect of Usage of Educational Mobile Applications/ Usage of Non-Educational Mobile Applications and stream of under graduate students studying in different courses was found on the scores of on academic procrastination. A significant difference in academic procrastination among undergraduate students studying in different professional and non-professional courses was found with high, average and high and low usage of non-educational mobile application; no significant difference in academic procrastination was found among the undergraduate students studying in Science and Social Science streams. The different levels of usage of educational mobile application as well as of non-educational mobile application (high, average and low) were not found having effect on the scores of on academic procrastination of undergraduate students. A significant interaction effect of Usage of Educational Mobile Applications/ Usage of Non-Educational
Mobile Applications and stream of under graduate students studying in different courses was found on the scores of on academic procrastination.
