The impact digitalization has on students’ behavior on a high-level institution as the University of Namibia

Abstract

The overall purpose of this research was to characterize and comprehend how digitalization influences student behavior at a prestigious institution such as the University of Namibia. The following research questions/and research objectives were developed to achieve this goal. The following were the study’s findings: Around 60% of respondents believed the University of Namibia’s digitalization programme has benefited them. This suggests that pupils were enthusiastic about the digitalization of their learning environment. However, 5 (25%) and 4 (20%) of the respondents, respectively, indicated their dissatisfaction with the results. 4 (20%) of the respondents were undecided because they chose to opt out in the middle of the data collection. Only two respondents (10%) agreed that the University of Namibia’s digital online platforms facilitated a more collaborative lecture room atmosphere. As a result, pupils in the lecture hall were unsatisfied with digital internet platforms, which they described as inadequate and untrustworthy. With this in mind, it is suggested that the University update, restructure, and improve its digitization in order to improve performance and promote learning among stakeholders.
