Abstract: Learning and its mechanisms have been revolutionised, and technology is fuelling the velocity. This research investigates the impact of learning mechanisms students use, such as traditional classrooms, online platforms, faculty-student interactions, and self-regulated learning, on students' learning, engagement, and academic achievement. This research will help improve education quality and provide vital insights into the larger debate on successful educational approaches in today's digital age. The exploratory research design and mixed research approach were employed in this study using a convenience sampling approach. A sample size of 320 students who use various learning mechanisms/methods in the Sultanate of Oman. Tests like the independent sample 't' test, one-way ANOVA, correlation, multiple regression, and structural equation model were used. The four learning mechanisms are as follows: 'classroom activities' has the highest predictive contribution, while 'course materials' has a smaller impact on both learning engagement and academic performance. Furthermore, the study discovered a strong and statistically significant relationship between learning engagement and academic performance. Strategies for improving the learning experience, encouraging student success, and establishing a culture of continuous improvement were recommended. This study intends to contribute to the continued pursuit of educational quality, benefiting the education community.
