Abstract


The integration of technology into the realm of education is experiencing exponential growth, and an ever-evolving selection of media formats is being created to facilitate teaching and learning in a more effective manner. The objective of this research endeavor is to ascertain the degree to which the implementation of learning applications influences the academic achievement of students enrolled in electrical engineering-related programs. To accomplish this objective, learning methodologies and self-directed learning must be implemented as variables that impact students' academic performance. To facilitate this inquiry, a total of 339 representative samples of participants were collected. The collected data were subjected to analysis using the SmartPLS 4.0 software and the Structural Equation Model (SEM) with partial least square (PLS) correction. Following a thorough analysis, it was determined that the data provided an accurate representation of the population. The findings of this study have practical implications-students who engage in self-directed learning and implement effective learning strategies will see a substantial improvement in their overall learning outcomes. Students desire easy access to a variety of educational resources and materials, according to the findings. This aspiration motivates the proliferation of mobile media devices. To facilitate students' access to a diverse range of learning strategies, instructors possess the ability to provide accommodation. These applications benefit students by streamlining the process of obtaining access to learning-supporting materials and resources
