THE MECHANISM FOR DEVELOPING STUDENTS' INDEPENDENT LEARNING MOTIVATION THROUGH EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY IN A PROJECT

Abstract

Independent learning is a pivotal skill in modern education, fostering adaptability and lifelong learning in an ever-evolving global landscape. This paper explores the mechanisms for enhancing students' motivation for independent learning through the integration of educational technologies in project-based learning (PBL). Detailed strategies such as gamification, adaptive learning systems, collaborative platforms, and real-world problem-solving are analyzed in-depth to understand their impact on fostering self-regulation, intrinsic motivation, and academic engagement. The findings underscore the effectiveness of educational technology in empowering learners to take charge of their education and provide actionable insights for educators seeking to implement these approaches effectively.
