Abstract
Low levels of students’ reading motivation and reading strategies, along with high digital distractions, present significant challenges to literacy learning in higher education. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of utilizing the Notion application in strengthening sustainable reading skills grounded in local wisdom. The research employed a quantitative approach using a pretest–posttest design. The participants consisted of 36 fifth-semester students from the Indonesian Language Education Study Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tapanuli Selatan enrolled in the course Literature and Local Wisdom. The research instruments included a reading motivation questionnaire, a reading strategy questionnaire, a reflection rubric, and Notion activity logs. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, reliability testing, normality testing, and paired-samples t-tests. The results indicated a significant improvement in reading motivation (t = −7.57; p < 0.001) and reading strategies (t = −8.98; p < 0.001) following the Notion-based intervention. The application facilitated the centralization of literacy activities, reduced digital distractions, and enhanced students’ self-regulation skills in reading. This study concludes that Notion is effective in supporting the reinforcement of local wisdom–based literacy, with practical implications for students, lecturers, and higher education institutions in fostering sustainable reading habits through the integration of digital technology.
