I. INTRODUCTION

Learning events really determine the success of student learning. Good learning events will support the creation of conducive learning conditions (Irwansyah, 2013). This is because every student always has a tendency to procrastinate academically in their learning. Procrastination is something that often happens to everyone. The term procrastination is used to describe someone who has a tendency to postpone or not immediately start work, when receiving a job or assignment. (Moonaghi, Baloochi, & Beydokhti, 2017). Procrastination behavior can occur anywhere, such as in a learning environment. Currently, many students or students delay assignments. Academic procrastination is a type of delay that is carried out on types of formal tasks related to academic tasks such as schoolwork or coursework (Ghufron & S, 2014; Sarwono, 2002). In addition, Procrastination is a widespread and complex psychological condition that has been described as a deliberate delay in starting or completing a task that has a detrimental effect on well-being and performance (Nayak, 2019). This implies that a common and complex phenomenon is procrastination, which is characterized as a deliberate delay at the beginning or completion of a task.
