Abstract
The aim of this research was to examine the benefits and challenges related to the integration of technology in the reporting of students’ academic progress in the Saudi Arabian educational setting. The research employed a mixed-methods approach. The research involved a cohort of 300 educators from diverse educational institutions situated within the geographical boundaries of Saudi Arabia. The research used a mixed-methods methodology, incorporating a survey instrument to collect quantitative data, which was subsequently subjected to analysis using descriptive statistics. Furthermore, semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather qualitative data, which were subsequently analyzed thematically. As per the findings of the study, a noteworthy percentage of the respondents maintained the perspective that technology had expedited the procedure of documenting student advancement and had augmented correspondence with guardians. The qualitative data highlight the benefits of technology in terms of ease of use, flexibility, and capacity to promote student engagement. However, some individuals have expressed concerns regarding the potential for technology to worsen the digital divide. In brief, this study provides noteworthy insights into the benefits and limitations of using technology for tracking student progress in Saudi Arabia. This highlights the imperative need to prudently assess the prospective impacts of technology on student learning and parental involvement.
