AN ANALYZING THE INFLUENCE OF LEARNING ENVIRONMENT ON READING MOTIVATION AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Keywords:
Reading Motivation, Learning EnvironmentAbstract
This study examines the relationship between the learning environment and the reading motivation of university students. The research was initiated due to a significant decrease in students’ reading engagement, which is believed to be affected by environmental conditions. A quantitative survey method was used, involving 81 university students who completed a structured questionnaire consisting of 15 items on a Likert scale. The analysis focused on three main aspects: physical environment, social interaction, and intrinsic motivation. Results revealed that the physical environment, especially access to quiet and organized spaces, had the strongest positive influence on reading motivation. Encouragement from lecturers and the availability of reading facilities also contributed notably, while peer influence had a moderate impact. Intrinsic elements such as curiosity and personal reading goals consistently played a significant role. These findings indicate that improvements in both the physical and instructional dimensions of the learning environment may enhance students’ motivation to read.
