Does the Impact of Technology Sustain Students’ Satisfaction, Academic and Functional Performance: An Analysis via Interactive and Self-Regulated Learning?

Abstract

High-quality academic outcomes are required for students’ educational attainment and promote their desire to learn. However, not all educational sectors boast of the same, leading students to attain inferior outcome performances. The current study examines the impact of technology on student satisfaction, academic, and functional performance via the mediating factors of interactive and self-regulated learning. However, existing works focused less on technology and more on psychological learning factors, rendering mere acceptance of technology, proved to be useless. The present research investigates such mediators with existing technology resources and their impact on students’ overall growth. Research hypotheses are tested through structural equation modeling and applied to the data collected from 302 respondents via a structured questionnaire. In addition, the present study considers the collection of each student’s data across different universities, colleges, vocational and education institutions, mainly where students are involved in/using the technology when it comes to satisfaction, academic, and functional performance. The results indicated that the impact of technology via interactive learning has a significant influence on students’ satisfaction (β = 0.238, p < 0.05), academic performance (β = 0.194, p < 0.05), and functional performance (β = 0.188, p < 0.05). It is also noted that the impact of technology via self-regulated learning has positively contributed to satisfaction, academic, and functional performance. Our findings support the hypothesis and encourage students’ adaptability, engagement, and behavioral interactions stimulating the performance outcomes. The performance outcome of this research presents valuable information for decision-makers to articulate sustainable strategies and tactics in educational sectors.

The Technology Interface and Student Engagement Are Significant Stimuli in Sustainable Student Satisfaction

“…The current research study pointed not only to deliver a more in-depth exploration of different features of HE student satisfaction in the HEIs of India but also to provide a more nuanced analysis of associations between these aspects of student satisfaction and different forms of engagements in which HE students are engaged. The association between satisfaction and engagement is significant and positively correlated (See Figure 2), as per the earlier research, which is in line with the findings of this study [110]. The subsequent section deliberates the findings of the study in greater depth to address the three articulated research queries.…”

Citation Network Analysis on the Influence of Vision on Academic Performance

“…In turn, it was being analyzed how the use of technology influences student satisfaction. Thus, it has been shown that the impact of technology through self-regulated learning positively contributed to academic and functional performance as well as the satisfaction of the students [ 67 ].…”

Evaluating the impact of educational technology on learning outcomes in the higher education sector: a systematic review

“…The review emphasizes the need for further utilization of technologies across different phases of the learning process, suggesting that future work should explore the integration of technology in more diverse educational contexts. Memon, Lu, Memon, Munshi, and Shah (2022) examine the impact of technology on student satisfaction, academic, and functional performance, highlighting the mediating role of interactive and self-regulated learning. Their findings indicate that technology, particularly through interactive learning, significantly influences students' satisfaction and academic performance.…”
