We raise these concerns as researchers who study students\u2019\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=cBsh7i4AAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">motivation and engagement<\/a>\u00a0and their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=A_y6nEsAAAAJ&amp;hl=en\">procrastination in online learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As professors, we\u2019ve also heard our fair share of explanations and excuses for why students missed deadlines. Everything from \u201cmy computer doesn\u2019t work\u201d to \u201cmy Wi-Fi went dead.\u201d We even had one student claim that \u201cGrandma died\u201d in one course and that \u201cGrandpa died\u201d in another course. We also have had students claim that their roommate deleted their homework.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you see those reasons as valid or not, none of them really gets at why students procrastinate and end up in those kinds of situations in the first place. With that in mind, here are four tips that can help students deal better with the root causes of procrastination when it comes to online coursework.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Manage motivation<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>One of the main reasons students procrastinate is that they do not see their coursework as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.lindif.2014.10.012\">relevant<\/a>\u00a0to what they\u2019re doing now or expect to do later on. When students find that their academic tasks are interesting, important and useful, they are more likely to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2190\/7BAK-EGAH-3MH1-K7C6\">try harder to get them done<\/a>\u00a0and less likely to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rave.ohiolink.edu\/etdc\/view?acc_num=osu1565872460207536\">put them off<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Remote learning can make students feel\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.46627\/silet.v1i2.38\">bored and frustrated<\/a>. Therefore,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1041608016300905\">finding ways to stay motivated<\/a>\u00a0can\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1041608017302248?casa_token=jRn5aLqwA_EAAAAA:Pl3xnbkG7llxOvII1vRTkr6OhZwdjB4KbxKyujIsL8BiPLHsSWLoDbOGK4uMWFogD4zgzJRhpw\">prevent procrastination<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Remind yourself of the practical value of your academic tasks. Figure out the reasons you\u2019re studying something in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, instead of viewing the completion of an assignment as a way to fulfill course requirements, you can think about how to turn your coursework into something related to your life or career goals. For a computer science student, a programming assignment could be made a part of your portfolio to help secure an internship or even a job \u2013 as some of our own students have done. A research report could be turned into an academic journal article to enhance your profile when applying for graduate school in the future.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Manage goals, tasks and time<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>College life can get hectic. Many college students must juggle coursework, social events and work commitments at the same time.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2F0033-2909.133.1.65\">Getting more organized<\/a>\u00a0helps stave off procrastination. This means breaking long-term goals into smaller short-term, challenging and clear goals and tasks.<\/p>\n<p>The reason this technique works is that procrastination is directly related to an individual\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.aom.org\/doi\/full\/10.5465\/AMR.2006.22527462?casa_token=z3rky_w4kkUAAAAA%3ASvKRFFdr7H-CACuzH0q7hnOibo2_J71L4t-iUJegIVyP1vxXLApXV_dqKFQHsaxCLOrbPpg2Flyw\">preference and desire<\/a>\u00a0for working on a task. When a goal is too large, it becomes not immediately achievable; therefore, you will see this task as less desirable and be more likely to put it off.<\/p>\n<p>By breaking a large long-term goal into a series of smaller and more concrete subgoals, you will see the project as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/record\/1990-97846-000?cid=SEM_DIR0016&amp;con=13833&amp;pkw=morningstar25252525252525252520direct&amp;elqCampaignId=6282&amp;prd=cloud&amp;cap=research252525252525252520portal&amp;gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9KfZioi33AIVyLTtCh07gw7KEAAYASAAEgLGF_D_BwE\">easier to complete<\/a>\u00a0and, more importantly, your perceived distance to the finishing line will shorten. This way, you are more likely to perceive the project as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.aom.org\/doi\/full\/10.5465\/AMR.2006.22527462?casa_token=z3rky_w4kkUAAAAA%3ASvKRFFdr7H-CACuzH0q7hnOibo2_J71L4t-iUJegIVyP1vxXLApXV_dqKFQHsaxCLOrbPpg2Flyw\">desirable<\/a>, and you will be less likely to procrastinate.<\/p>\n<p>Second, you need to plan your time daily by listing tasks based on their importance and urgency, estimating how much time you need to complete each task, and identifying concrete steps to reach daily goals. That is, tell yourself that in the context of X, I will need to do Y to accomplish Z.<\/p>\n<p>It is also important to plan your time according to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/00223980309600625\">how and when you prefer to study<\/a>. For example, you may concentrate the most late at night, your memory may work the best in the early mornings, or you may collaborate better during the day.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, you should use tech tools, such as calendar and task-management apps, to plan your time and monitor how much you\u2019re getting done.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Create a good learning space<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Another important way to avoid procrastination is to make sure that your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/record\/2017-31043-001\">learning environment<\/a>\u00a0is supportive for learning.<\/p>\n<p>During the coronavirus pandemic, students are usually learning from home, but sometimes they study wherever they happen to be, even at picnic tables in public parks. These places may not be best suited for academic activities.<\/p>\n<p>These environments have many characteristics that may be more interesting and less emotionally draining than academic tasks. Therefore, students could\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2F0033-2909.133.1.65\">drift away<\/a>\u00a0from academic tasks and wind up instead chatting with friends or watching sports. This is why\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.lindif.2020.101872\">choosing or creating a good place to study<\/a>\u00a0can help people stop procrastinating.<\/p>\n<p>Try to set up your surroundings in a way that suits your learning habits, including where you put tables and chairs and how you use lighting and block out noises. For example, some students may enjoy learning in a quiet and dark space with a spotlight. Others may learn best when they use a standing desk next to a bright window and constantly play soft background music.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Get a little help from friends<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Friends and classmates can\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/eric.ed.gov\/?id=EJ1220909\">help one another stop procrastinating<\/a>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/record\/2017-45259-006\">Colleagues and other contacts<\/a>\u00a0can hold one another accountable and help one another meet deadlines. This is particularly important for anyone who struggles\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/psycnet.apa.org\/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2F0033-2909.133.1.65\">with self-control<\/a>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s10964-008-9367-7\">Research<\/a>\u00a0also has shown that having supportive friends and other peers can boost self-confidence and make tasks seem more valuable and interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, students are physically isolated from most of their friends and classmates. The social support that students normally receive in face-to-face settings, such as after-class chats and study groups, has also been moved to virtual spaces. That is, it\u2019s still available, but mainly through virtual means, such as instant-messaging apps, online collaboration tools or video conferencing software. Used wisely, these tools can help students work with friends to overcome procrastination and make the classwork more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Kui Xie is Cyphert Distinguished Professor; Professor of Learning Technologies; Director of The Research Laboratory for Digital Learning at The Ohio State University and Sheng-Lun Cheng is Assistant Professor of Instructional Systems Design and Technology at Sam Houston State University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you take classes online, chances are you probably procrastinate from time to time.
