DINAMIKA PERAN TEMAN SEBAYA DALAM PROKRASTINASI AKADEMIK: STUDI NARATIF PADA SISWA KELAS X-2 DI SMA NEGERI 1 SURALAGA

Abstract

Academic procrastination is the behavior of delaying task completion, which can hinder the learning process and affect students' academic responsibilities. This study aims to understand how students perceive the role of peers within the dynamics of academic procrastination, identify forms of peer interaction that encourage academic procrastination, and determine the forms of peer support that help reduce academic procrastination among Class X-2 students at SMA Negeri 1 Suralaga. The study employs a qualitative research method using a narrative study approach. Data sources consist of four students as primary participants, along with a Guidance and Counseling teacher and a homeroom teacher as supporting informants. The results indicate that peers play a dynamic role in academic procrastination. Peers can act as a driving factor for procrastination behavior through invitations to engage in non-academic activities, habits of delaying tasks, and a lack of learning motivation; conversely, peers also serve as a source of support through joint study sessions, discussions, reminders, motivation, and assistance in completing tasks, thereby helping to reduce students' tendencies toward academic procrastination. Thus, it can be concluded that peers play a dual role, acting as factors that can both encourage and mitigate academic procrastination behavior among Class X-2 students at SMA Negeri 1 Suralaga.
