Sustainability-Infused Learning Environments: Investigating the Role of Digital Technology and Motivation for Sustainability in Achieving Quality Education

The present investigation delves into the complex interconnections among the digital learning environment, academic achievement, psychological empowerment, motivation for sustainability, and the context of universities in Saudi Arabia. Students from various academic fields were selected for a comprehensive study employing a multilevel sampling technique. A holistic understanding of the variables was obtained through quantitative surveys. The study's findings indicate that a well-functioning digital learning environment notably impacts academic achievement. This is consistent with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 objectives, which aim to revolutionize the education sector by integrating technology. While the impact of sustainability motivation on academic achievement is moderately positive, it remains a critical factor in fostering conscientious individuals on a global scale. Furthermore, the correlation between psychological empowerment and academic achievement highlights the criticality of comprehensive education, a fundamental principle of Vision 2030. The current research results provide a strategic plan for improving the standard of education in Saudi Arabia, fostering environmental responsibility, and cultivating diverse individuals equipped to confront forthcoming challenges. This study makes a scholarly contribution and functions as a pragmatic manual for improving education in Saudi Arabia and ensuring its alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 4.
