Abstract: Education and learning have been significantly impacted by ICT. The purpose of this project is to create a new model and conduct confirmatory factor analysis in order to better understand how students utilize ICT in the classroom. An additional aim is to study, based on students’ attitudes and aspirations to utilize ICT for digital learning, their fundamental computer abilities, media-related skills, WBS, and adoption of digital learning technologies, by surveying students at Bisha University and King Faisal University. Structural equations modeling (SEM)-AMOS was used to survey 711 university students, and this study used an improved version of the Technology Acceptance Paradigm (TAM) approach as its research paradigm, as well as quantitative data collection and analytic methodologies. Students’ comments were divided into seven categories and analyzed to identify their attitudes toward and intentions for using ICT in learning environments. BCS, media-related abilities, and WBS all had a substantial influence on perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, according to the research. This model, which was based on research, was successful in describing students’ attitudes and intentions about using ICT for digital learning.
