PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF LEARNING MOTIVATION AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Abstract
This article provides a scientific analysis of the psychological relationship between learning motivation and academic achievement among university students. The main aim of the research is to determine the level of students’ intrinsic and
extrinsic motivation toward learning activities and its impact on academic outcomes. In the course of the study, methods such as psychological analysis, questionnaires, observation, and statistical analysis were used. The results obtained indicate that a
high level of intrinsic motivation among students positively influences their learning activity, independent learning ability, and academic achievement. In addition, pedagogical approaches used in the educational process, the social environment, and
psychological support are also important factors in the formation of students’ learning motivation. The results of the research have theoretical and practical significance for developing psychological and pedagogical strategies aimed at increasing student motivation in higher education institutions.
