Abstract: Academic performance is a crucial indicator of educational success and professional preparedness among Prospective teachers. In the rapidly evolving educational landscape, digital technologies have transformed teaching and learning processes, making digital learning readiness an essential competency for future educators. Alongside technological preparedness, academic motivation and study habits significantly influence students' learning outcomes and academic achievement. This conceptual review paper examines the impact of digital learning readiness, academic motivation, and study habits on the academic performance of Prospective teachers. Drawing upon contemporary educational theories and empirical research, the paper explores the interrelationships among these variables and their collective contribution to academic success. The review highlights that student-teachers who demonstrate higher levels of digital readiness, intrinsic motivation, and effective study habits tend to achieve superior academic outcomes. The paper also discusses the implications for teacher education institutions and provides recommendations for enhancing academic performance through targeted interventions. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on teacher education by offering a comprehensive understanding of the factors that support academic excellence among prospective teachers.
