Abstract

In the contemporary educational landscape, integrating technology into traditional classroom settings has garnered substantial attention as a method to enhance students’ academic achievements. This particular research wants to evaluate complex relationships encompassing the integration of smart classrooms (SMRTs), perceived ease of use (PEoU), self-efficacy (SE), and Islamic spiritual values (ISVs) in fostering students’ academic accomplishments. The present employs a survey-based quantitative approach to investigate how these factors interact across diverse students and institutions. With the aid of the PLS-4 software, the collected data undergo thorough analysis via the partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. Subsequently, findings pertaining to this investigation show that SMRTs, PEoU, SE, and Islamic values strongly predict academic performance. However, the direct relationship between ISV and PEoU, as well as the indirect effect of PEoU on student academic performance (SAP) via ISV, is not empirically supported. The study contributes theoretically by revealing intricate connections between technological advancements, psychological factors, and spiritual values in educational contexts. Practically, it guides instructor and policymakers in designing technology-driven SMRTs to meet students’ cognitive and spiritual needs, ultimately fostering a conducive academic environment. The research’s novelty is based on the intricate connections between SMRT integration, PEoU, SE, and ISVs in shaping SE.
