Building the Future: Attitude, Knowledge, Digital Skills, and Adaptability in Student Learning

This study examined the critical role of attitude, knowledge, digital skills, and adaptability in shaping student learning outcomes, focusing on their collective influence in preparing learners for future challenges. The research was conducted at a local university, surveying 250 students to explore the interrelationships among these key factors. A structured questionnaire was designed to capture data on students’ attitudes towards learning, their knowledge base, proficiency in digital skills, and adaptability to dynamic educational environments. The survey aimed to evaluate how these elements interacted and contributed to enhanced learning experiences and academic success. The data collected were analyzed using a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach via the Smart PLS software, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the causal relationships among variables. SEM was chosen for its robust capability in assessing complex models and validating hypothesized relationships. The findings revealed significant positive correlations between students’ attitudes and their adaptability, as well as between digital skills and knowledge acquisition. These efforts will ensure students are well-prepared to navigate the demands of a rapidly evolving educational and professional landscape. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on integrating technological and pedagogical advancements in education, offering actionable insights for educators, policymakers, and curriculum designers.
