Академическая успеваемость отражается в оценках (присвоенных баллах) по изучаемым предметам и предполагает, что студент овладел требующимся набором навыков и знаний, которые он после ознакомления с конкретной дисциплиной или группой дисциплин может использовать при выполнении образовательных и профессиональных задач. Иными словами, понятие «академическая успеваемость» подразумевает измерение уровня способности студента осваивать содержание учебных программ как в очном режиме, находясь в аудитории, так и самостоятельно.</p><p>Цель исследования, представленного в статье, заключалась в определении способности студентов быть активными пользователями учебных баз данных и их элементов, от которых зависит эффективность этого вида образовательной деятельности; а также в выявлении возможностей повышения успеваемости и качества академического усвоения учебных программ (при соблюдении необходимого охвата их содержания) с помощью цифрового образовательного контента.</p></sec><sec><title>Методология и методы</title><p>Методология и методы. Работа выполнялась на основе методологии полевого исследования. Сбор эмпирических данных производился посредством анкетирования и личных интервью. Достоверность собранного материала проверялась методом математической статистики.</p><p>Результаты и научная новизна. Известно, что информационные технологии сегодня - один из важнейших факторов, которые могут оказывать мощное воздействие на качество системы образования в вузах. В ходе исследования, проведенного в Северном пограничном университете (Арар, Саудовская Аравия), выяснялось, насколько базы данных, доступные в Саудовской цифровой библиотеке, помогают студентам различных специальностей (факультетов) в учебе, каков их реальный вклад в профессиональную подготовку будущих специалистов и каким образом обучающиеся определяют свои цели и потребности, обращаясь к этим базам данных. Обработанные результаты анкетного опроса и интервью показали, что для большинства респондентов предлагаемый электронный образовательный контент не является инструментом улучшения успеваемости. Степень удовлетворенности им оказалась весьма низкой. Между тем студенты отметили, что нуждаются в доступной и качественной оцифрованной учебной информации. Однако им не хватает информационной компетентности, проявляющейся в способности находить, хранить и применять информацию в различных ее видах. Причем эта компетентность не ограничивается только владением навыками работы с компьютером (которыми сегодня обладают все молодые люди) - она включает умения систематизации и структурирования получаемой информации; критическое отношение к ней; способность резюмировать и делать выводы. Важно также наличие простых и удобных инструментов работы с базами данных. Таким образом, необходимы дополнительные консультации обучающихся</p><p>о том, как эффективно работать с цифровыми базами данных; развитие исследовательских навыков студентов; проведение мастер-классов, мотивирующих к использованию цифровых образовательных ресурсов.</p></sec><sec><title>Практическая значимость</title><p>Практическая значимость.

Academic achievement is reflected in marks (points) achieved in the disciplines studied and it assumes that the student has acquired the required set of skills and knowledge, which he or she can use while performing educational and professional tasks after learning a particular discipline or a group of disciplines. This means that the concept of “academic achievement” represents measuring the student’s ability to comprehend academic programmes in the class or independently.</p><p>The aims of the present research were the following: to determine the ability of students to be active users of educational databases and their elements, which are considered to be effective especially in this type of educational activity; to identify the opportunities to improve academic achievement and the quality of academic curriculum implementation (in accordance with the necessary content) through digital educational content.</p><p>Methodology and research methods. The present research is based on the field survey methodology. Empirical data were collected through questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. The validity of the collected material was verified through the method of mathematical statistics.</p><p>Results and scientific novelty. It is known that information technology today is one of the most important factors, which can have a powerful impact on the quality of the education system in universities. The research conducted at the Northern Border University (Arar, Saudi Arabia) investigated the following questions: how the databases available at the Saudi Digital Library assist students of various specialties (faculties) in their studies; what the real contribution of the databases to the training of future professionals is; how learners define their goals and needs by using these databases. The processed questionnaire and interview results demonstrated that for most students e-learning content is not a tool to improve academic performance. The students’ satisfaction with the offered e-learning content was very low. Meanwhile, the students noted that they needed accessible and quality digitised educational information. However, they lack the information competency to find, store and apply information in its various forms. This competency is not limited only to the skills to work with the computer (all young people possess this skill today) - it includes the skills to systematise and structure the received information; critical attitudes towards it; ability to summarise and draw conclusions. It is also important to have easy and user-friendly database tools. Thus, it is necessary to provide further guidance for learners on effective work with digital databases; to develop students’ research skills; to carry out specialised workshops in order to motivate students to use digital educational resources.</p></sec><sec><title>Practical significance</title><p>Practical significance.
