Abstract

The prime purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the availability of ICT resources on students’ educational performances and also to check its usability and impact on students’ educational performances in the higher institutions in the far-flung areas of Pakistan. A suitable sampling procedure was adopted to choose 400 students from the top six institutions of higher education in one of the largest provinces of the country i.e Balochistan. A survey-based closed-ended questionnaire containing a total of thirty-four items was used to collect data from the respondents. A quantitative research methodology has been employed to gather and analyze respondents’ quantitative responses. Moreover, SPSS Software was employed to analyze the correlations between the hypotheses. The study results show that ICT has a great impact on students’ educational performances. In today’s era of ICT students mostly prefer ICT resources to complete their academic tasks. Furthermore, the results revealed that the institutions have limited funds and resources regarding ICT equipment. But the students are still making it possible to access various kinds of ICT applications in their institution. The students' have a positive attitude towards different types of ICT tools and resources, which they use for their academic and research purposes. There is a substantial positive linear association between the availability, accessibility, and usability of ICT resources and the students' educational performances. The findings of the current study also highlighted the weak areas in terms of the availability and accessibility of ICT resources in the higher educational institutions of Pakistan. Who is not allowing the students to use ICT resources to complete their educational tasks quickly. Present study findings will be helpful for the Government of Pakistan, HEC (Higher Education Commission), and for the teachers to understand the importance of ICT and to provide sufficient number of ICT-related facilities to the students for their better learning.

AB  - The prime purpose of this study is to examine the effects of the availability of ICT resources on students’ educational performances and also to check its usability and impact on students’ educational performances in the higher institutions in the far-flung areas of Pakistan. A suitable sampling procedure was adopted to choose 400 students from the top six institutions of higher education in one of the largest provinces of the country i.e Balochistan. A survey-based closed-ended questionnaire containing a total of thirty-four items was used to collect data from the respondents. A quantitative research methodology has been employed to gather and analyze respondents’ quantitative responses. Moreover, SPSS Software was employed to analyze the correlations between the hypotheses. The study results show that ICT has a great impact on students’ educational performances. In today’s era of ICT students mostly prefer ICT resources to complete their academic tasks. Furthermore, the results revealed that the institutions have limited funds and resources regarding ICT equipment. But the students are still making it possible to access various kinds of ICT applications in their institution. The students' have a positive attitude towards different types of ICT tools and resources, which they use for their academic and research purposes. There is a substantial positive linear association between the availability, accessibility, and usability of ICT resources and the students' educational performances. The findings of the current study also highlighted the weak areas in terms of the availability and accessibility of ICT resources in the higher educational institutions of Pakistan. Who is not allowing the students to use ICT resources to complete their educational tasks quickly. Present study findings will be helpful for the Government of Pakistan, HEC (Higher Education Commission), and for the teachers to understand the importance of ICT and to provide sufficient number of ICT-related facilities to the students for their better learning.
