Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Object: This study evaluates the impact of digitalization on the operational performance, teaching, learning out comes, and student experiences at Turan University. Methods: Employing a mixed-methods approach, the research utilized a comprehensive questionnaire distributed to 86 students, alongside interviews with faculty to gauge the effectiveness of digital tools and platforms implemented across the university. Findings: The analysis reveals a generally positive perception of digital infrastructure and educational practices among students. High levels of satisfaction were noted in areas such as the availability of digital resources in the library and the use of digital technologies by teachers. However, variations in satisfaction regarding accessibility to necessary digital devices and the cost implications of digital tools indicate areas needing improvement. Conclusion: While Turan University has made significant strides in integrating digital technologies, the study identifies critical gaps in technological accessibility and financial aspects of digital usage. Addressing these gaps is es sential for enhancing the overall effectiveness of digitalization efforts and ensuring equitable access to digital resources for all students.
