Leveraging Digital Education Technologies

A Deep Dive into Their Impact on Student Performance

Abstract

This research aims to elucidate the multifaceted relationships governing technology integration and student performance within Malaysia’s higher education realm. Embracing a quantitative design, the study employs a stratified sampling approach, engaging students from selected universities. A meticulously crafted questionnaire, deployed via Google Forms and disseminated through WhatsApp, serves as the nexus for data collection, employing a 7-point Likert scale to harvest nuanced insights into students’ perceptions and experiences. Central to our investigation are various dimensions, including the type of digital technology, frequency of technology usage, pedagogical approaches, and teachers’ proficiency in technology utilisation. A pivotal mediatory variable explored is students’ digital literacy, examining its influential role in shaping the outcomes of technology-enhanced educational experiences. Anticipated findings offer critical insights into the optimal strategies and practices for leveraging technology to enhance student performance and educational experiences. The study holds significant potential contributions to the academic, practical, and broader educational domains, fostering a richer understanding and enhancement of the digital education landscape. It aspires to inform and inspire educational strategies, policies, and practices, ensuring that they resonate with effectiveness, innovation, and inclusivity, thus catalysing a holistic enhancement of students’ educational journeys and outcomes navigating the dynamically evolving digital education realms.
