The research sample involved 5,534 female students (71.21%) and 2237 (28.79%) male students, amounting to 7771 participants in total. The data of this study were collected by means of Student Engagement Scale, Student Perception Scale for Faculty Members’ Technology Integration Efficacy, and Campus Climate Checklist. In addition, Pearson correlation analysis was conducted on the collected data. The results revealed that in every university, there was a positive relationship between student engagement and the students’ scores in regards to benefits from the campus facilities.

Understanding Student Engagement in Hybrid Learning : An Analysis Impact Digital Literacy and Academic Self-Efficacy

“…Through technological advances in education, such as augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR), can be utilized to increase student engagement, situational interest, and learning performance (Sun et al, 2023). In addition, in the development of online learning design, it is also necessary to pay attention to relevance, content, and resources in achieving learning efficiency (Günüç et al, 2022;Heilporn et al, 2022) Research on digital literacy in education has been carried out a lot, such as analyzing factors that affect digital literacy in learning (Audrin &;Audrin, 2022;Omboto et al, 2022), digital literacy development in higher education (Khan et al, 2022), assessment (Schmidt &;DeSchryver, 2021), and distance education (Gökdaş & Çam, 2022). Research on academic self-efficacy and its implications in academic achievement has also been widely conducted, such as (Al-Abyadh &;Abdel Azeem, 2022;Suryaratri et al, 2022), digital addiction (Parmaksız, 2022) and academic self-efficacy in online learning Consunji, 2022).…”
