<![CDATA[Learning motivation plays a critical role in shaping elementary school students’ engagement, persistence, and academic achievement. Nevertheless, previous studies have reported varying findings regarding the determinants of learning motivation, indicating the need for a systematic synthesis of the available evidence. This study aimed to characterize learning motivation among elementary school students, identify its influencing factors, and determine the factors most consistently reported in previous research. A Systematic Literature Review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Twenty-four articles published between 2021 and 2026 that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed through identification, screening, eligibility assessment, inclusion, data extraction, and narrative synthesis. The findings revealed that learning motivation is influenced by internal factors, including self-efficacy, emotional intelligence, intrinsic motivation, learning interest, and curiosity, as well as external factors encompassing teachers’ roles, learning media, instructional models, learning environments, family support, and literacy and numeracy programs. Self-efficacy emerged as the most consistently reported factor associated with students’ learning motivation. These findings suggest that strengthening learning motivation requires an integrated approach that develops students’ psychological capacities while promoting innovative instructional practices and supportive learning environments.]]>
