Impact of Learned Helplessness on Academic Procrastination: An Empirical Study

Introduction: Academic procrastination is greatly impacted by learned helplessness since it creates a demotivating feeling and a sense of helplessness.Students may develop learned helplessness-the belief that they have no control over their success-if they are often faced with difficult assignments and feel that their efforts are in vain.When students have this kind of thinking, they may engage in avoidance behaviors, delaying or avoiding academic work in an effort to avoid feeling frustrated or failed.Because of this, procrastination turns into an ineffectual coping strategy for them to deal with their worry and low selfefficacy. Materials & Methods:The researcher had considered 201 students to know the Impact of Learned Helplessness on Academic Procrastination.The survey was conducted with the help of a questionnaire.The researcher had collected the primary data through random sampling method and analyzed it using mean and t test statistical tools.Results: Interventions that emphasize fostering growth mindsets, providing practical coping skills, and increasing students' self-efficacy are necessary to break this pattern.Through addressing the underlying reasons of learned helplessness, teachers can assist students in taking back control of their academic endeavors, decrease tardiness, and enhance their overall academic achievement.Conclusions: 201 students were surveyed to know the Impact of Learned Helplessness on Academic Procrastination and concludes that there is significant Impact of Learned Helplessness on Academic Procrastination.
