Role of Educational Technology in Students` Academic Achievement: Testing the Mediation of E-Efficacy

Abstract

This study explores the impact of Educational Technology (ET) on students' Academic Achievement, with a particular focus on the role of E-Efficacy. A total of 199 valid responses were collected from students through a survey instrument to test the proposed relationships. The analysis reveals a positive correlation between students' AA and the educational technologies they utilize, with EE identified as a significant mediator in this relationship. The findings indicate that students' EE enhances as they engage with educational tools effectively, leading to improved academic performance. This research contributes to the existing literature on ET, underscoring the necessity of fostering EE among students to fully leverage the advantages of these technologies. The results are consistent with previous studies that highlight a positive relationship between Self-Efficacy (SF) and learning outcomes, suggesting that interventions aimed at building confidence in the use of educational technologies could have a transformative effect on students' academic results.
