ACADEMIC READING ATTITUDES AND FORMAT PREFERENCES AMONG THE STUDENTS OF SHAHEED BENAZIR BHUTTO WOMEN UNIVERSITY PESHAWAR

Abstract

This study evaluates students' reading formats and attitudes at Shared Benz Bhutto Women University in Peshawar, as well as how they affect their academic performance. The study used random sampling techniques to choose 314 individuals from SUBWAY using a quantitative strategy. Analyses were performed to evaluate format preferences and reading attitudes to collect data. According to the analysis, print materials are preferred, especially for emphasizing important points and remembering details. Students did not completely ignore electronic media, though, as many felt that they were appropriate for situations that called for convenience and shorter readings. The wide range of student preferences, many of whom felt at ease utilizing both print and electronic formats was an important discovery. This study adds to the continuing discussion of print versus electronic reading in academic contexts. The study highlights the need to provide flexibility in course material formats to meet individual needs and maximize the learning experience by demonstrating the different preferences of the student population and the usefulness of both formats.
