Abstract :
The purpose of this research was to compare the effectiveness of academic life skills and motivational self-regulation on academic procrastination. This research was a semi-experimental type and a pre-test-post-test research design with a control group. The studied population was 31,180 students of the second year of high school in Tabriz city in the academic year of 2021-2022. Based on Cohen's table and cluster random method, 77 students were selected and randomly replaced in experimental and control groups. After that, the dependent variables were measured in the pre-test stage in all three groups. Then the first group received a training course on academic life skills in 8 sessions, and the second group went through 8 sessions of self-regulating motivational strategies training, and the third group (control) continued with their normal class programs at the same time. The academic procrastination scale of Solomon and Roth bloom (1984) was used to measure the research variables. Data analysis was done at the descriptive level through central and dispersion indices and at the inferential level using the univariate covariance statistical test. The findings showed that education based on academic life skills and motivational self-regulation strategies have an effect on reducing academic procrastination in female students of the second year of high school. Also, the effectiveness of teaching self-regulation strategies of motivation on procrastination was significantly higher than teaching life skills. Based on the results of this research, teaching self-regulation motivational strategies is a more efficient solution to intervene in students' academic procrastination.
