motivation, learning strategies, questionnaire (MSLQ).Abstract
The main objective of this study was to determine the relationship between motivation and learning strategies used by engineering students at universities in the province of Santa during 2024, in line with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education). The research also contributes to University Social Responsibility by supporting the reduction of gaps and deficiencies in education at all levels, promoting a more equitable and just society. The methodology was basic, with a quantitative approach and correlational design. The population and sample consisted of 408 engineering students. The Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) was used as an instrument, administered through the Google Forms platform. The results showed that the variables of motivation and learning strategies have a non-parametric distribution, showing a high level of positive correlation, with a Spearman's rho value of 0.779 and a significance level of p = 0.000, less than 0.05. Finally, it was concluded that there is a direct relationship between the two variables: the higher the level of motivation, the greater the use of learning strategies by students.
