Motivational Indicators and Academic Success in Students: The Impact of Fragmented Thinking

Background
A potential remedy for this situation is to integrate advancements in information technology with traditional methods of working with academic texts, using gadgets exclusively as supplementary sources of scientific knowledge.
Objective
The aim of the research is to develop an understanding of fragmented thinking in universities in Russia and Kazakhstan by surveying teachers and identifying optimal methods for influencing the reduction of students’ inclination toward fragmented thinking.
Methods
The study employed a population of 137 teachers and a random sample of 384 students from the 1st – 5th years. The research was conducted using surveys among faculty members and analysis of student performance indicators at the Institute of Foreign Languages of the Russian University of Friendship of Peoples and the Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University (Almaty). The study included: (i) An analysis of the impact of motivational strategies on the tendency toward fragmented thinking, (ii) a correlation analysis between academic performance and the tendency for fragmented connections, and (iii) a theoretical and survey-based analysis of the positive and negative aspects of this type of thinking.
Results
The results demonstrate significant differences in the role of each motivational strategy in relation to fragmented thinking.
Conclusion
This study can enhance the understanding of the interaction between students and educators, mobile technologies, and social networks.
