This pilot study explores the effectiveness of achievement motivation and learning styles in enhancing the academic performance of shy adolescents in Deoghar, Jharkhand. Shy adolescents often face unique challenges, such as reduced classroom participation and hesitancy in seeking help, which can hinder their academic success. The study aims to analyse the relationships between achievement motivation, learning styles, and academic performance while identifying strategies to support this group. The research involved 100 participants aged 13–18 years from middle and high schools in Deoghar. Data collection methods included a standardized Achievement Motivation Scale and the Learning Style Inventory, alongside academic performance records. The analysis employed descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, ANOVA, and multiple regression techniques to examine the data. The findings reveal a strong positive correlation (r = 0.72) between achievement motivation and academic performance, emphasizing motivation's critical role in fostering academic success. Learning styles showed a moderate correlation (r = 0.45) with academic performance, with visual learners performing slightly better than other groups. Regression analysis indicated that while both factors significantly impact performance, achievement motivation emerged as the stronger predictor. Additionally, thematic analysis of qualitative data highlighted the effectiveness of visual aids, peer-assisted learning, and personalized attention in supporting shy students. The study concludes that integrating motivational strategies with differentiated instructional techniques can enhance the academic outcomes of shy adolescents. Teachers, parents, and policymakers should focus on creating a supportive learning environment that nurtures motivation and accommodates diverse learning styles. This research provides a foundation for further studies aimed at addressing the educational needs of shy adolescents and optimizing their learning experiences.
