Resumen
La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar la relación entre la Procrastinación
académica y los tipos de Motivación académica. Asimismo, se tuvo como objetivos
específicos identificar la relación entre procrastinación y tipos de motivación con el
rendimiento académico; relacionar la procrastinación y tipos de motivación,según el sexo
del participante y comparar los niveles de procrastinación y tipos de motivación de
acuerdo al sexo. Para ello, se aplicaron la Escala de Procrastinación Académica (EPA) y
la Escala de Motivación Educativa (EME) a una muestra de 139 jóvenes estudiantes de
18 a 26 años (M=19.68; DE=1.98) de una universidad privada de Lima, donde 81 fueron
mujeres (58.3%) y 58 fueron hombres (41.7%). Los resultados evidencian correlaciones
significativas e inversas entre los puntajes de Procrastinación académica y los puntajes
de Motivación intrínseca (al conocimiento, al logro y a las experiencias estimulantes),
regulación identificada e introyectada; así como una correlación significativa y positiva
con Amotivación. En cuanto al primer objetivo específico, se encontraron correlaciones
significativas e inversas entre el rendimiento académico y Procrastinación académica, así
como correlaciones directas con los tipos de Motivación intrínseca, regulación
identificada e introyectada. En relación al segundo y tercer objetivo específico, se
encontró una correlación entre procrastinación y amotivación con un tamaño mayor en
los hombres, además presentan mayores puntajes en estas variables de manera
significativa, en comparación con las mujeres. Se discuten los resultados tomando en
cuenta la Teoría de la autodeterminación, el concepto de autorregulación, factores
asociados a la amotivación y las medidas del rendimiento académico, todo esto a la luz
de los hallazgos encontrados y de la literatura revisada.
The main objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between Academic procrastination and types of Academic motivation. Therefore, the Escala de Procrastinación Académica (EPA) and the Escala de Motivación Educativa (EME) were applied to a sample of 139 young students aged 18 to 28 (M=19.68; DE=1.98) from a private university in Lima, where 81 were women (58.3%) and 58 were men (41.7%). Likewise, the specific objectives were to compare the levels of Academic procrastination and types of Academic motivation according to the sex variable; as well as identifying the relationship between academic performance and both variables mentioned before.The results show significant and inverse correlations between Academic procrastination scores and the intrinsic motivation scores (to knowledge, achievement and stimulating experiences), Identified and Introjected regulation; as well as a significant and positive correlation with Amotivation. Regarding the first specific objective, significant and inverse correlations were found between academic performance and academic procrastination, as well as direct correlations with the types of Intrinsic motivation, Identified and Introjected regulation. In relation to the second and third specific objective, a correlation was found between procrastination and amotivation with a larger size in men, and they also have significantly higher scores in these variables, compared to women. The results are discussed taking into account the Theory of Self-Determination, the concept of self-regulation, factors associated with amotivation and measures of academic performance, all this considering the findings of this research and the revised literature.
