This study examines students readiness to adopt paperless learning within the Circular Economy framework in senior high schools in Svay Rieng Province, Cambodia. It analyzes the influence of environmental awareness, digital literacy, and habitual behavior on preparedness for transitioning from paper-based to digital learning. A quantitative descriptive approach was applied, using survey data from 148 students. Instrument validity and reliability were confirmed, and multiple regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationships among variables. The results indicate that all three factors significantly influence readiness, with digital literacy as the strongest predictor, followed by habits and environmental awareness. Together, these variables explain 51.3% of the variance in student preparedness. The findings extend existing technology adoption models, including the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), by integrating environmental and behavioral dimensions. Practically, the study emphasizes the need to strengthen digital literacy through training and curriculum integration, supported by programs that foster environmental responsibility and sustainable learning habits. These insights provide a policy framework for schools and policymakers in developing contexts to implement paperless education effectively and inclusively.

The study demonstrates that environmental awareness, digital literacy, and habits collectively shape students readiness to adopt paperless learning in Cambodian high schools.Regression analysis confirmed that all three variables significantly influence readiness, with digital literacy emerging as the strongest predictor.These findings indicate that while ecological values provide a motivational foundation, technological competence and consistent behaviors are more decisive for successful transitions to paperless practices in low-resource educational settings.

Further research should investigate the specific digital skills gaps among students and teachers in Cambodian high schools to inform targeted training programs. Additionally, studies could explore the effectiveness of different pedagogical approaches in fostering sustainable habits related to paperless learning, such as gamification or peer-to-peer learning. Finally, research is needed to assess the long-term environmental and economic impacts of implementing paperless education initiatives in Cambodia, considering factors like e-waste management and energy consumption, to ensure a truly circular and sustainable approach. These investigations will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of how to effectively integrate digital technologies into education while promoting environmental responsibility and sustainable practices, ultimately paving the way for a more environmentally conscious and digitally proficient generation.
