Impacts of digital transformation on high school student learning in Nha Trang city, Khanh Hoa province, Vietnam

Abstract

This article gave an overview of digital transformation, and its impacts on education and training in general, high school students’ learning in particular. For more details, the authors clarified the issue of impacts of digital transformation in five aspects: (1) student’s mindset of learning, (2) communication in learning, (3) learning motivation, (4) compassion in learning, and (5) high school student’s selfregulated learning. A survey was conducted on 390 high school students in Nha Trang city, Khanh Hoa city in the school year 2023-2024 to show critically these five aspects of digital transformation on student learning. Specifically, digital transformation has the biggest impact on student mindset of learning (x̅ =4.33), meanwhile, it has the least impact on student compassion in learning (x̅ =3.34). The two main reasons given are: the teaching methods in online learning now are not efficient and not properly learned by teachers and school students; the multimedia lectures have not been optimally applied. From these findings, the authors proposed main solutions to address this situation including developing a contract to use electronic devices in the classroom; raising student awareness and developing learning conditions for students to use software applications in classrooms; and their parents’ coordination with the implementation outside of the classroom.
