Investigating Socioeconomic Disparities in Digital Education Experiences

Abstract

This qualitative research study explores the multifaceted nature of socioeconomic disparities in the context of digital education. Focusing on how students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds coped with the abrupt transition to digital learning, the research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these disparities. By conducting semi-structured interviews, the study investigates the challenges and experiences of students, the role of digital literacy and their impact on academic performance and mental well-being. The findings contribute to ongoing discussions on educational equity and inform the development of policies and interventions aimed at reducing the digital divide. Ultimately, this research seeks to enhance the resilience and adaptability of students from underserved communities in the face of digital education challenges, fostering equal opportunities for all in the digital education landscape.
