The Influence of Artificial Intelligence, Learning Motivation, and Digital Literacy on the Learning Independence of Buddhist Students

Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has transformed the way students acquire information and engage in the learning process. However, the use of AI that is not balanced with adequate learning motivation and digital literacy has the potential to affect students’ learning autonomy. This study aims to analyze the influence of Artificial Intelligence, learning motivation, and digital literacy on the learning autonomy of Buddhist students in Bandar Lampung City. The study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. The sample consists of 30 Buddhist students selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected via a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS. The results indicate that Artificial Intelligence has a positive and significant effect on learning autonomy, contributing 87.6%, while digital literacy has a positive and significant effect, contributing 83.0%. Learning motivation has a positive relationship with learning autonomy and contributes 24.0%, but does not show a significant effect in the multiple regression model. Simultaneously, Artificial Intelligence, learning motivation, and digital literacy have a significant effect on learning autonomy, contributing 91.0%. The variable with the most dominant influence is Artificial Intelligence, followed by digital literacy. These findings indicate that enhancing students’ learning autonomy in the digital age requires support through the judicious use of AI, the strengthening of digital literacy, and the development of learning strategies capable of fostering learning motivation. This study contributes to the development of technology-based education and self-directed learning in the digital age.
