Enhancing academic self-efficacy and reducing procrastination tendencies among graduating students

Graduating students struggle with low academic self-efficacy, trust in own capabilities and abilities with school, which often leads to procrastination. This tendency to delay important tasks can have multiple consequences. For instance, after receiving critical feedback, students may dwell on negative thoughts instead of taking constructive action, causing them to avoid or procrastinate work altogether. The postponing of help not only increases their own stress levels but also puts unnecessary pressure on supervisors who have less time for other work.

Endproduct

This research focusses on tackling the negative thought process graduation students experience in their graduation process. The intervention will focus on reframing this thought process and therefore enhancing academic self efficacy.
