Factors of Learning Agility and Students' Attitudes on Online Learning

Abstract

With the widespread use of digital and information technologies in education, students' learning styles and needs are always changing. This study examines the relationships among student engagement, information literacy, perceived digital proficiency, and learning agility within a university student population. Research indicates that there exists a relationship among these factors; however, the specific pathways of influence remain inadequately comprehended. This study surveyed 323 students from a higher education institution to assist educators in improving students' learning agility and refining educational strategies. It used Structural Equation Modelling to look at the direct and indirect relationships between these variables. The results show that how engaged students are has a big effect on their information skills, which in turn affects how competent they feel with technology and how quickly they learn, with a mediator between information skills and learning agility. The study highlights the importance of enhancing student engagement and information literacy to effectively prepare students for evolving learning environments. These findings provide significant insights for formulating innovative strategies to enhance students' learning agility and overall academic performance.
