The incorporation of technology into educational settings is going through a period of rapid expansion, which is being accompanied by the persistent growth of a variety of forms of media. The purpose of this research is to investigate, among students majoring in engineering at Padang State University, how the utilization of learning apps contributes to the enhancement of fundamental reading and writing abilities. Learning Readiness was included as an independent variable alongside Intrinsic Learning Motivation and Critical Literacy, and Information Literacy was taken into consideration as a moderating variable. The present study involved the collection of a representative sample comprising 899 respondents. The collected data were subsequently subjected to analysis utilizing the Structural Equation Model (SEM). In this study we also conducted Fuzzy C-Means clustering, to see to what extent the value of each cluster can influence the others. The findings of this study indicate that individuals who have a high level of preparedness for learning and a strong sense of motivation are likely to achieve better outcomes. Additionally, possessing a proficient level of information literacy will exert an influence on the development of critical literacy. © 2024 by the authors.
