Nexuses between Global Technologies and Educational Outcomes of University Students in Punjab, Pakistan

Abstract

In the contemporary world, no dimension of the world lives long without the aid of technology. The same is valid for education and educational institutions. The spread of Covid-19 forces the world to go online. Before the pandemic, European and developed countries utilized educational technologies; however, developing countries like Pakistan adopted major educational technologies during COVID-19. This study deals with the impact of educational technologies on the educational outcomes of students in selected universities in Punjab, Pakistan. The researcher focused on students' viewpoints since they are the potential source of information selected as the target sample, and because the emphasis was on students' comprehension of the role of global educational technology in determining the educational outcome. The researcher used a disproportionate stratified sampling technique in this study as it entails categorizing a population into groups (strata) and selecting a sample that is not proportional to the size of each category. The researcher utilized a qualitative approach for this research. Data were collected using an interview guide, respectively. Students and educational institutions utilize educational technologies which yield good results. These technologies improve education, and students learn new and up-to-date knowledge due to the intervention of technology.
