The findings reveal that there exists a relationship between ICT adoption and academic performance in a
conservative environment. An additional finding also stated that ICT adoption resulted in the improvement
of the performance of female students more than the male. However, students’ IT major was found to be
making no impact on students’ academic achievement. A discussion of findings, limitations, and
suggestions for future research has been provided in the study. Finally, it also provides implications of the
current study to the existing knowledge.

This is consistent with the study by Gallego et al. [19] who argue that, for a successful improvement of
the quality of education, a country needs implementation of ICT policies and regulations that must be
effective and vigorous at all levels. Babaheidari and Svensson [20] in another study make a different
conclusion that the impact of ICT on learning outcomes is not clear. Lin et al.

This study investigates and explores the adoption of information communication technology by
the universities and the impact it makes on the university students’ academic performance. The
study also examines the moderators’ effect of gender, GPA, and student majors on the
relationship between ICT and academic achievement. By using a quantitative research
approach and a sample size of 1000 students, data were collected about the ICT adoption in
universities and the relative performance of students belonging to four Saudi universities.
Structure equation modelling was chosen to determine the validity of the research model. The
Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS), specially used for structural equation modelling and
path analysis, was used as the research tool. The findings reveal that there exists a relationship
between ICT adoption and academic performance in a conservative environment. An additional
finding also stated that ICT adoption resulted in the improvement of the performance of female
students more than the male. However, students’ IT major was found to be making no impact on
students’ academic achievement. A discussion of findings, limitations, and suggestions for
future research has been provided in the study. Finally, it also provides implications of the
current study to the existing knowledge.

The study also investigated the effect of the model of organization readiness to change (MORC)
Individual Differences " recipients' beliefs " as external variables, in addition subjective norm and
volunteer as the mediating. the study tested the current usage as mediating variable between
ICT believes and attitude behaviour. Most studies in ICT have been carried out in private
sectors in Saudi Arabia. The survey instrument uses to collect the data is a self administrated
questioner developed based on the technology acceptance questioner as used by Davis and
Venkatesh. The research population is Saudi workers in public organization. The research tool
is structure equation modelling (SEM), which required a minimum sample of 200 respondents.

This paper seeks to provide further understanding of issues surrounding acceptance
ofinformation and communication technology (ICT) by students of tertiary institutions. The
Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model Venkatesh et al (2003)
was employed by the researchers to determine the strength of predictors for students intention
to accept and use ICT for learning and research.

The study was on the Impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on the
students and his/her information to access in the Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan. A sample
of 50 respondents (students) was selected from the department of Political science, Gomal
University, Dera Ismail Khan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. However, related literatures were
reviewed from textbooks, journals and past researches. The research instruments were
questionnaire which was statically analyzed with contingency tables while the hypotheses were
tested by using the mean statistic. The results of the present study showed a diverse response
of the student regarding the impact of ICT's on the students and their access to information.

The results showed that students who were taught with ICT had better academic performance on
CRS and that the gender has no significant effect in the academic performance of students who
were taught CRS with ICT instructional package. Based on the findings, it was recommended among
other things that Christian Religious Studies' teachers should use ICT for teaching CRS in secondary
schools. Introduction Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become an important
part of most educational organizations all over the world. There is no doubt that Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) provides productive teaching and learning in order to increase
learners' creative and intellectual resources especially in today's information society.

Ellis and Loveless [5] indicate that higher education pedagogy can neither be isolated
from academic achievement nor from the teaching process and innovation. The study
affirms that the potential role of information and communication technology in higher
education cannot be overlooked.
