FROM DESK TO TABLET: HOW MODERN TECHNOLOGIES SHAPE STUDENT MOTIVATION

Abstract

In the contemporary educational context, technology plays a pivotal role in shaping pedagogical approaches and students' learning experiences. This paper explores the impact of modern technologies, including digital tools and online platforms, on student motivation for learning. Utilizing a mixed-methods research strategy that encompasses quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with elementary and secondary school students, the study aims to identify key factors that encourage or demotivate students in a digital educational environment. Preliminary findings suggest that access to personalized learning through technological tools can significantly increase student motivation, provided that challenges such as digital literacy and resource availability are adequately addressed. By analyzing data collected from various educational contexts, the paper presents a comprehensive overview of how technology can serve as a catalyst for student engagement and learning improvement. In conclusion, the paper underscores the importance of integrating technological innovations into educational strategies in a manner that respects individual student needs and promotes an inclusive and motivating classroom environment.
