Academic Performance, Academic procrastination, ProcrastinationAbstract
Academic procrastination and poor study habits are common issues among students, often resulting in increased anxiety and lower academic performance. Mathematics, a subject that requires consistent practice and logical reasoning, is particularly affected by these behaviors. Many students experience mathematics anxiety, which negatively impacts their ability to perform well. While previous studies have explored learning behaviors, there is limited understanding of how procrastination and study habits together influence mathematics anxiety. This study aims to examine these factors and provide practical solutions to improve student outcomes.
