A causal model of the relationship of quality of academic life and cognitive dependence to academic procrastination among students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences

Abstract

The quality of academic life, which has become a goal that everyone seeks within the educational system, hopes to achieve a stimulating educational environment and provide a supportive educational climate that helps prepare a generation of our students that keeps pace with scientific and technological innovations, and is able to face the challenges and pressures created by the knowledge revolution and cultural pluralism, because not exploiting the richness of the educational environment leads to a decrease in the learner’s motivation for continuous study, a weak ability to communicate with teachers, and a lack of internal motivation. This will lead to an increase in cognitive dependence by obtaining help from others, a lesser amount of perseverance, and avoiding the task while feeling bored and not needing knowledge, and this leads to Wasting time and poor organization, these are a number of negative behavioral manifestations that lead to academic procrastination. The research aims to identify the correlation between the quality of academic life and cognitive dependence and academic tardiness among students, as well as to build a model that explains and explains the nature of the direct and indirect causal relationship between the quality of academic life and cognitive dependence and academic tardiness among students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences.
