“…Furthermore, we found that information-seeking behaviors, IT skills, age, and gender all had a positive impact on academic performance. Similarly, another study advised that students seeking entry to the Bells University of Technology receive hands-on computer training sessions (Oshilalu and Emiri, 2018). At the same time, research showed that ICT literacy standards significantly correlate with academic performance in Arts and Social Sciences, Health Science, Management Science, and Science and Technology e-learners, but not in Agriculture, Education, or Law e-learners (Aboderin, 2019).…”

“…Using the Bells University of Technology as a case study, an analysis was conducted to determine the ability of students to use educational technologies. Their results showed that the computing capacity of a large number of newly enrolled students (75 percent) is marginal, which would hurt their ability to deal with a computerized educational environment (Oshilalu and Emiri, 2018). Since students can access information anytime and from any place, ICT allows for greater consistency in education delivery (Johari et al, 2020).…”

This study explores how the scholarly accomplishments of students might increment due to specific fundamental causes. The academic performance of the student was prioritized as a dependent variable, and the independent indicators chosen were “information seeking, IT ability, reading/writing capacity, and resilience.” At the same time, age, gender, marital status, and family income were included in the control variables. The research subject samples were limited to (N = 288) postgraduate students from three mega universities in Islamabad, Pakistan. Forward regression analysis was performed in this research to decide the impact of the indicators. The results indicate that information seeking affects academic performance positively and significantly. Essentially, the study revealed that information technology (IT) skills make a fundamentally positive and significant impact on academic performance. Reading and writing influenced academic performance considerably. In addition, resilience affected academic performance emphatically and essentially. Further, this research also noted the relationships between information-seeking behaviors, IT ability, reading/writing capacities, and resilience capabilities and the academic performance of students. These variables have a positive impact on the academic performance of students.
