The Relationship Between Academic Achievement in Mathematics Course, Academic Procrastination, Digital Game Playing Motivation and Problem-Solving Skill of Middle School Students

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the predictive levels of middle school students' academic achievements in mathematics in relation to their problem-solving skills, academic procrastination behaviors, and motivation for playing digital games. In this research, a quantitative research method, specifically the correlational survey model, was employed. A total of 1074 participants continuing their education in middle school were reached within the scope of the study. Data collection tools included scales for digital game playing motivation, academic procrastination, and problem-solving skills. Report card grades were evaluated for students' academic achievements. The findings of the research indicate that success is directly predicted by problem-solving skills and that academic procrastination and motivation for playing digital games mediate the effect on success.
