Abstract

This study aims to investigate the mediating roles of students’ self-efficacy and problem-solving in the relationships between independent variables with the Blackboard System (BS) and performance impact in order to better understand how they relate to one another. This is carried out to fully appreciate the potential benefits of using BS in education and to provide detailed explanations of how BS usage may improve academic attainment. The purpose of this study was to discover the essential factors that determine how college students use BS. This study examined the effects of a number of parameters discovered in the literature about using Blackboard as sustainable education in higher education using the students’ self-efficacy and problem-solving abilities. In total, 396 King Saud university students completed a written questionnaire that served as the source of the data. Structural equation modeling with squares was used to examine the data (Amos-SEM). The results showed that control variables are the main factors influencing learners’ adoption of 21st century skills by using Blackboard as a sustainable education model and, consequently, the effectiveness of organizing training system integration. While students were not entirely in agreement with the rational reflection for problem-solving skills, the results of students’ self-efficacy and issue skills show a good impact on their academic performance in colleges and universities. To foster students’ self-efficacy and problem-solving skills, as well as their use of BS in higher education teaching processes, the study’s findings provide essential information on how colleges and universities may improve students’ acceptance of 21st century skills by using Blackboard Systems as a sustainable education model.
