Abstract :

This study examines the relationship between access to technology and the academic performance of undergraduate students in the Digital Art programme at public universities in Jilin Province, China. Utilizing a quantitative research approach, data were collected from a structured survey distributed to a representative sample of students. The study investigates key technological factors, including the availability of digital tools, internet access, and proficiency in digital software, and their correlation with students’ academic achievements. Statistical analyses, such as correlation and regression, were applied to determine the strength and significance of these relationships. The findings indicate that access to technology positively impacts students’ academic performance, with digital proficiency and stable internet connectivity emerging as significant predictors of success. These results suggest that improving technological resources and training could enhance students’ learning outcomes. The study contributes to the discourse on digital education and provides practical recommendations for policymakers and educators to bridge technological gaps in higher education.
