ICT Adoption Impact on Students’ Academic Performance: Evidence from Saudi Universities

“…Table 4 findings also present a good relationship between ICT adoption and students' academic performance, which is consistent with the study reported earlier of Iniesta-Bonillo et al [8]. e findings are also in congruence with those of other similar studies [14,16,17] that too claim that the adoption of ICT improves the quality of learning outcomes.…”

Using ICT-based Instructional Technologies to Teach Science: Perspectives from Teachers in Trinidad and Tobago.

“…In addition to the deterring factors mentioned above, Abdullahi (2014) has reported that the seeming reluctance on the part of many science teachers to integrate ICT-based teaching and learning activities into their everyday teaching may be linked to the unreliable and ineffective inhouse technological support that is common at many schools. Administrative hassles too, to access equipment and schedule times to use computer labs often frustrate teachers.…”

Design-Based Research

“…Technology has allowed speeding up time via simulations of natural events; saving time through data collection devices and/or recording data that would otherwise be hard to gather; seeing things that could not otherwise be seen; organizing data that would otherwise be hard to organize; searching for information in databases; observing things that would otherwise be difficult to observe; and manipulating models of scientific phenomena (Abdullahi, 2014;Gerard, Varma, Corliss, & Linn, 2011;Juuti & Lavonen, 2012;Pow, Li, & Fung, 2008;Webb, 2005).…”
