Results revealed diverse perspectives among students regarding the effectiveness of ICT integration and its influence on engagement and academic performance. Figures presented demographic distributions, perceptions of ICT effectiveness, challenges, opportunities, engagement levels, and academic performance influence among participants. The findings contribute valuable insights into the multifaceted nature of ICT integration in student learning at Kabul University, informing educational practices and policies aimed at optimizing technology-enhanced learning environments. This study underscores the importance of considering students' perspectives in the design and implementation of ICT initiatives, emphasizing the need for tailored strategies to address challenges and capitalize on opportunities for effective integration.
