Abstract

Students living in urban coastal communities often experience unique environmental and socioeconomic conditions that can influence their learning experiences. This study aims to examine the relationship between learning motivation and psychological well-being among students residing in coastal urban areas. Using a quantitative correlational design, data will be collected through standardized questionnaires measuring intrinsic and extrinsic learning motivation, as well as indicators of psychological well-being such as life satisfaction, emotional balance, and school-related stress. The sample will consist of middle and high school students from selected urban coastal regions. Data analysis will determine whether higher levels of learning motivation are associated with better psychological well-being. The findings are expected to provide insight into how coastal environmental challenges and community characteristics shape students^ educational motivation and mental health outcomes. This research may also serve as a foundation for developing school-based psychological support programs tailored to coastal urban populations, ultimately promoting more inclusive and equitable educational opportunities.
