| Sumario: | The objective of the study was to identify the level of academic procrastination of secondary school students in Tacna in distance education. The approach was quantitative, with a non-experimental design and descriptive-transversal type. The sample consisted of 338 secondary school students. The instrument used was the "Academic Procrastination Scale (EPA)" with adequate validity and reliability indexes. The results show that, in the procrastination of activities, most students present an average level (54 %) and in academic self-regulation it is high (49.70 %), but a quarter showed low levels (24.85 %). There is a difference between grade levels (p=0.013 and 0.001) and, in addition, male students (p=0.000 and 0.000), students from private institutions (p=0.000 and 0.002) and those who do not consider themselves academically good (p=0.000 and 0.000) tend to procrastinate more and show less academic self-regulation. It was concluded that a high level of procrastination does not predominate among students, but there are significant differences among sociodemographic variables. |
