VIEIRA, Gabriela  and  GOES, Natália Moraes. Characterization of time management strategies and academic procrastination of undergraduate students. Educ. Form. [online]. 2025, vol.10, e14963.  Epub Nov 18, 2025. ISSN 2448-3583.  https://doi.org/10.25053/redufor.v10.e14963.

The objective of this research was to understand the time management and academic procrastination behaviors of undergraduate students and analyze them in relation to sociodemographic and academic life variables. Participants included 238 students from a public university, who completed a sociodemographic questionnaire and a time management and academic procrastination scale. Descriptive, comparative, and correlational analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. The results showed moderate levels of time management and academic procrastination. Statistically significant differences were found when comparing the scale with the variables: type of high school, self-perceived grades, and degree of intention to continue the course. Significant, negative, and high-magnitude correlations were found between time management and academic procrastination. It is suggested that interventions be developed for the groups with lower time management scores.

Keywords : self-regulated learning; study habits; sociodemographic variables; future teachers.
