Influence of Children’s Time Management on Studying During Long Vacation

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine whether children's time management affects their study time during the long vacation and their motivation to study after the long vacation. We measured children's time management--establishment of life rhythm, setting goals and priorities--and study plans before the long vacation, daily study time during the vacation, and self-efficacy and motivation to study after the vacation. As a result of analysis, it was found that children who scored higher in the establishment of life rhythm were more consistent in their homework plans and actual efforts, and spent more time studying. In addition, the establishment of life rhythm had a positive effect on motivation to study and self-efficacy, and setting goals and priorities had a positive effect on self-efficacy.
