Abstract

The development of digital technologies, devices and resources impacts students’ digital reading habits and learning performance. This article aims to explore the situation of digital reading in Vietnamese universities and survey the factors influencing digital reading. Questionnaires were distributed to library staff and bachelor’s degree students at six universities in Vietnam; 906 valid questionnaires were received back from the students and 96 from the librarians. The data was analysed by using descriptive statistics and exploratory factor analysis. The findings reveal that the universities, academic libraries and lecturers had prepared the necessary conditions to support digital reading (i.e. regulations, processes, programmes, digital resources). Another highlighted result indicates that factors concerning students and lecturers had the most important influence on digital reading based on the responses of the library staff and students. The findings of this study will be useful for administrators, faculty members and library staff in designing appropriate solutions and programmes to support digital reading for undergraduate students.

越南高校数字阅读现状及影响因素

数字技术、设备和资源的发展影响着学生的数字阅读习惯和学习成绩。本文旨在探讨越南高校数字阅读的现状，并调查影响数字阅读的因素。向越南六所大学的图书馆工作人员和学士学位学生分发了调查表；从学生处收回906份有效问卷，从图书馆员处收回96份有效问卷。采用描述性统计和探索性因素分析对数据进行分析。调查结果显示，大学、学术图书馆和讲师已经为支持数字阅读准备了必要的条件（即法规、流程、计划、数字资源）。另一个突出的结果表明，根据图书馆工作人员和学生的反应，与学生和讲师有关的因素对数字阅读产生了最重要的影响。这项研究的结果将有助于管理人员、教职员工和图书馆工作人员设计适当的解决方案和计划，以支持本科生的数字阅读。
