Enhancing Students' Achievement Motivation Through Curiosity and Digital Literacy

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of curiosity and digital literacy on achievement motivation. Curiosity and digital literacy skills are expected to serve as significant contributing factors in enhancing achievement motivation within academic environments. This research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to university students as respondents. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression techniques to examine the relationship between the independent variables (curiosity and digital literacy) and the dependent variable (achievement motivation). The findings indicate that curiosity has a significant positive effect on achievement motivation, while digital literacy also contributes to increasing students’ motivation to achieve. Furthermore, curiosity and digital literacy collectively exhibit a significant influence on achievement motivation. These results suggest that a combination of high curiosity and strong digital literacy skills can serve as key drivers in enhancing individual achievement motivation. This study highlights the importance of fostering both factors in the educational context to achieve optimal academic performance.
