Improving students' research activities through digital resources: A case study of Kazakhstan

Abstract

The present study examines students' research activities and how digital resources influence the improvement of students' research activities. This is a quantitative study in which numerical data are collected and analyzed to establish relationships, test hypotheses, and generalize findings. To collect primary data, a questionnaire survey was used. The study was conducted at Almaty University of Humanities and Economics (Almaty, Kazakhstan). The experiment included 100 participants. This study discovered that digital resources play an important role in fostering participants' research skills and encouraging active participation in research activities. Results showed that elements such as software skills, information skills, digital equipment setup skills, specialized software skills, and the ability to master certain types of specialized software are important components of students' overall research activities. Research in this area allows us to explore not only the research characteristics of digital environment users but also, in the future, outline strategies for realizing students' research potential through the productive use of digital tools.
