Investigating the Relationship Between Knowledge Management and Modern Educational Technologies with the Academic Motivation and Performance of Secondary School Students in Joghatai City During the Academic Year 2024–2025

The present study was conducted with the aim of examining the relationship between knowledge management and modern educational technologies with academic motivation and academic performance of secondary school students in Joghatai County during the 2023–2024 academic year. This applied research employed a descriptive–correlational design. The statistical population consisted of all secondary school students in Joghatai County (approximately 3,000 students). To ensure generalizability of the results, using Cochran’s formula and stratified random sampling, a sample of 341 students—balanced in terms of gender—was selected.Data collection tools included four instruments: the Knowledge Management Questionnaire by Newman & Conrad (2000), the Educational Technology Attitude Questionnaire by Yucov (2005), Harter’s Academic Motivation Questionnaire (1980–1981), and students' end-of-term GPA to measure academic performance. The reliability of the instruments was confirmed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, and statistical tests including multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), Pearson correlation, and multiple regression were employed.The findings indicated a positive and significant relationship between knowledge management and modern educational technologies with students’ academic motivation and performance. Furthermore, the results showed that each of the two independent variables—knowledge management and educational technologies—had a significant independent relationship with both academic motivation and academic performance. These findings underscore the importance of simultaneously developing a culture of knowledge management and optimizing the use of educational technologies to improve teaching–learning processes and enhance students’ educational outcomes. Based on the findings, it is recommended that educational managers and policymakers focus on strengthening teachers’ competencies in utilizing technology, developing knowledge management infrastructures in schools, and designing motivational programs aligned with the characteristics of the current generation.
