Online homework time, time management, and procrastination: A person-centered approach

This study employed a person-centered perspective to uncover latent profiles defined by online homework time, time management, and procrastination. Involving 232 undergraduates, we identified five distinct profiles: Minimalists , Efficient Learners , Chaotic Overworking Learners , Moderate Learners , and Hardworking Learners . The results showed that gender was unrelated to profile membership. Profile membership, however, was significantly related to both online homework completion and online homework disaffection. Efficient Learners and Chaotic Overworking Learners reported significantly higher online homework completion compared to Moderate Learners , Hardworking Learners , and Minimalists . Moreover, Efficient learners reported the lowest levels of online homework disaffection among all profiles. Educational and research implications are discussed based on these findings. • We classified five latent profiles according to the following three measures. • They included online homework time, time management, and procrastination. • Gender was not related to profile membership. • Profile membership was associated with online homework completion and disaffection.
