Abstract

This research investigated the digital well-being of 146 high school students in international schools under the Jazan Region Education Administration and its impact on academic performance. The study utilized a descriptive survey method, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data were collected through questionnaires, which measured dimensions such as screen time, online behaviour, and the influence of digital tools on social interactions and academic outcomes. The study highlights the critical need to promote healthy digital habits and establish robust support systems within schools to enhance students' overall well-being. Practical recommendations were provided for policymakers, educators, and parents to create a more supportive and balanced digital environment for students. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on the effective use of digital tools in education and identifies key areas requiring intervention to foster digital well-being.
