The main direction of the article and the purpose of the work is to study the procrastination causes of primary school students during their projects in labor training lessons in order to further substantiate methods and recommendations for overcoming and implementing in the educational process and work of psychologists, secondary school teachers. The central task of the work was to develop a procedure, methodology and research on the procrastination causes of primary school students during the implementation of projects in the lessons of labor training, to process research results and develop conclusions.
The methodology is based on the use of classical methods and with the help of a system of valid psychodiagnostic methods to study the causes of personal postponement of tasks, character development, emotional and volitional sphere of personality.
The novelty of the work: the links between the psychological causes of procrastination of students and the development of the character and emotional and volitional sphere of the personality of adolescents. Namely: the most important reason for students’ postponement of the project was the underestimation of readiness to perform tasks; the strongest links influencing the postponement of potentially important cases were inversely proportional between the focus on social reward and general internality and internality in the field of achievement.
Conclusions. The results of the study show a certain pattern: the higher the confidence that the student achieves everything independently (high internality), the lower his desire to receive social reward, recognition. Conversely, the more a student believes that their success depends on temperament and circumstances (low internality), the higher his desire to receive social reward, formative assessment, and therefore, the greater the temptation to postpone activities in the absence of socio-emotional reinforcement.
The obtained research results and conclusions provide an opportunity to further develop guidelines for overcoming procrastination by students of projects in labor training lessons, the main principle of which will be the development of self-awareness, responsibility, ability to make conscious choices, self-discipline training, humanistic orientation and personal orientation.
