New media discourse effects on the development of the university students' academic motivation

The purpose of this research is to establish the correlation between the level of university students' academic motivation and the new media discourse environment where young individuals spend most of their quality time. We hypothesize that students' academic motivation is influenced by the new media discourse space directly and indirectly. The findings of this research also identify new media discourse factors which affect students' academic and professional activity and raise their motivation to study and gain new knowledge and proficiency. © 2019, Revista Espacios.
