Autorregulação da aprendizagem e a procrastinação acadêmica em estudantes universitários
Resumo
Todo estudante é capaz de autorregular sua aprendizagem, ou seja, monitorar, regular e controlar sua cognição, motivação e comportamento tendo em vista seus objetivos. Contudo, alguns procrastinam tarefas acadêmicas, podendo prejudicar a aprendizagem e o desempenho. A procrastinação se caracteriza pelo adiamento não estratégico de ações, decorrente da disfuncionalidade no processo de autorregulação. O presente estudo objetivou descrever e analisar a relação entre a autorregulação da aprendizagem e a procrastinação acadêmica de universitários. Participaram 663 estudantes, entre 18 e 56 anos, que consentiram responder ao Inventário de Autorregulação da Aprendizagem e à Escala de Procrastinação Acadêmica. O conjunto de resultados indicou que os universitários da amostra autorregulam a aprendizagem entre algumas e muitas vezes, bem como, apresentam índices de procrastinação entre poucas a algumas vezes. Além disso, houve correlação negativa e significante entre a procrastinação acadêmica e a autorregulação da aprendizagem.
