academic proscratination behavior, gender differences, junior high school studentsAbstract
This study investigates the relationship between Mobile Legends gameplay and academic procrastination among junior high school students in North Minahasa, Indonesia. Utilizing a quantitative descriptive-correlational design, the research involved 120 students, with 85 participating in the main study. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. Results indicated that both Mobile Legends gameplay and academic procrastination behaviours were at moderate levels. Gender-based analysis showed that male students engaged in significantly more gameplay and procrastination than female students. A positive and significant correlation was found between the two variables, suggesting that increased gameplay is associated with higher levels of procrastination. The study concludes with recommendations for parents, educators, and counsellors to address gaming behaviour and develop time management strategies to mitigate academic procrastination.
