Abstract
ABSTRACT: Academic procrastination is an individual's behavior in the form of postponing the completion of academic tasks. Academic procrastination risks becoming a recurring behavioral pattern that increasingly worsens students’ academic performance and mental well-being. This study aims to determine the effect of group counseling with cognitive restructuring techniques on academic procrastination behavior. This research involved 10 students of SMA “X” with academic procrastination behavior. Data collection was carried out using an academic procrastination scale and interviews. This study employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design. Data analysis using the U Mann Whitney test showed that there was no significant difference in academic procrastination levels between the experimental group and the control group. In conclusion, group counseling with cognitive behavioral techniques using cognitive restructuring did not significantly affect the academic procrastination behavior of SMA “X” students.
Keywords: Academic procrastination, cognitive restructuring.
