The relationship between reading habits and students' academic achievement in the digital era

Abstract

The phenomenon of declining interest in traditional reading among students is seen, despite increasingly easy access to information through digital devices. The development of the digital era brings various conveniences in accessing information, but on the other hand, it poses challenges to students' reading habits, which in turn affect their academic achievement. Literature review is conducted. Several sources, such as journals, articles, and books relevant to the topic, are reviewed. A clearer understanding of the relationship between reading habits and students' academic achievement in the digital era is sought. The results indicate that reading habits contribute significantly to improving students' academic achievement. Previous studies indicate that educational success is influenced not only by cognitive abilities but also by sustainable literacy habits. The main obstacles identified include low regular reading habits, the influence of social media, and limited availability of reading materials. The correlation between reading interest and academic achievement is in the moderate category with a positive relationship. Educational success is not only determined by cognitive abilities but also by a consistent and high-quality literacy culture. Therefore, synergy between traditional and digital reading is an important strategy for building more effective learning patterns in the digital era.
