Impact of Audio-Visual Resources on Student Performance in Higher Education in Support of SDG 4

Abstract

The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 emphasizes the importance of quality education for all, aiming to provide inclusive, equitable, and lifelong learning opportunities. In line with this goal, higher institutions have embraced technological advancements, particularly the integration of audiovisual resources, to enhance the learning experience for students. This research explores the impact of audiovisual resources on student achievement in higher institutions and its contribution to advancing SDG 4. Students in higher institutions have widely adopted mobile technologies in their academic pursuits, presenting an opportunity to leverage these technologies for educational purposes. Specifically, the study focuses on the use of audiovisual resources to teach Arabic language skills to non-native speakers at Universiti Brunei Darussalam. A semi-experimental approach was employed, and a randomly selected sample of Arabic language students participated in the study.
