Keywords:
using the computer; using the e-mail; academic performance
Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the effect of using the computer and using the e-mail on students’ academic performance. Correlational research design and a structured questionnaire were used in the study. A random cluster sample of students from the bachelor's degree program was taken. The study demonstrated that a positive correlation exists between using computer and academic performance. It can be concluded that using computer impacts academic performance. It is found that there is a negligible negative correlation between using the e-mail and academic performance. The findings of this study enhanced theoretical and practical understanding as information and communication technology skills is an important variable that impacts effective teaching and learning. It can be also concluded that using the e-mail does not influence academic performance.
