Achievement Motivation Outcomes in Context of Digital Education among College Students: An Experimental Analysis

Abstract

The present research was conducted to examine the influence of digital education on achievement motivation of college students. 50 college students selected using a baseline study were chosen and further divided into treatment and control groups with 25 students each, and were observed using a controlled experimental design of study. Achievement motivation of these students was measured through pre- and post-tests. Further employing an intervention, the treatment group was engaged with digital educational resources for a specific period of time, while the control group continued with traditional methods of learning. Results indicate a significant increase in achievement motivation for the treatment group as compared to the control group suggesting digital education as a potent tool for enhancing students’ achievement motivation. These findings have significant implications for curriculum design in higher education.
