Abstract
Student boredom in the academic environment has significant implications for engagement and learning outcomes, yet remains under-researched in systematic reviews. Addressing this gap is critical to developing strategies to improve student motivation and academic performance. This study aims to analyze the factors that contribute to student boredom, focusing on personal and environmental influences. The design used followed the PRISMA guidelines. Articles published from 2015-2024 were screened, resulting in 38 articles initially identified, with 7 articles meeting all inclusion criteria. Data were collected by thematic analysis of the articles, focusing on various contributing factors. The review identified two main categories of factors contributing to student boredom: personal factors, such as low interest, insufficient motivation, and self-concept issues, and environmental factors, including monotonous learning environments, lack of stimulation, and insufficient instructional diversity. These findings suggest that addressing both individual and contextual aspects is essential to increase student engagement and reduce boredom.
