Solving the Procrastination Puzzle: A Concise Guide to Strategies for Change by Timothy A. Pychyl (E



It's becoming more and more important to be able to solve problems in order to excel in mathematics. Students who are prepared to solve problems effectively and go above and beyond the expected may manage the situation while responding to a demanding environment. These expectations logically resulted from the requirement for schools to foster students' capacity for mathematical problem-solving 1. However, there are other occurrences that may be related to procrastination that impede students' mathematical development. Asio 2 asserts that procrastination can have an impact on all forms of academic misconduct. It is crucial to remember that academic procrastination is a harmful trait, with increasing stress being a recognized effect. As a result, each person needs to possess some fundamental life skills, such as problem solving 3.

According to Klymchuk et al., interesting non-routine problems, such as puzzles, can engage students' emotions, creativity, and curiosity while also improving their conceptual understanding, critical thinking skills, problem-solving strategies, and lateral "outside the box" thinking. They also stated that during the intervention, students' behavioural engagement was significantly higher. The findings suggested that students found the tasks more interesting than the lecture, with fewer instances of off-task behaviour detected 8.


Students' academic procrastination toward the topic is improved when they are exposed to non-routine mathematical problems as formative assessments and given flexible time to answer them. The flexibility of time it provides for unfamiliar problems aids in the development of their sense of responsibility for the tasks. In addition, the noticeable features of something non-routine, such as a puzzle out of the box, and its location pique their interest in completing the task. According to Klymchuk et al., who studied the effects of non-routine problem solving, interesting non-routine problems, such as puzzles, can stimulate students' interest while also enhancing their conceptual understanding, critical thinking skills, problem-solving strategies, and lateral "outside the box" thinking. They had the chance to enhance their comprehension and explore their answers as a group as well. The students' combined efforts encourage one another to do the tasks mindfully 8. 2ff7e9595c
