The aim of this paper is to enhance comprehension of the integration of technology knowledge into higher education curricula by analyzing existing literature on technology knowledge in higher education curricula, research patterns, and future research possibilities. A total of 306 participants responded to an online questionnaire after an extensive examination of relevant academic research literature. Convenient sampling and snowball sampling were employed to gather data, and PLS/SEM version 4.0 was used to systematically analyze the results. The study discovered a significant connection between the inclusion of technology knowledge in higher education institutions’ (HEIs’) curriculum and sustainable development. However, the obstacles to integrating technology knowledge into higher education curricula had little effect on sustainable development. This study serves as a reference point for policymakers in Saudi Arabian HEIs in developing an appropriate curriculum that promotes technology integration among university students and improves university performance.

This study examines the extent to which Arabic language teachers employ digital learning tools and proposes an explanatory model of their effects on language skills development and students’ quality of life. An explanatory approach was adopted, and data were collected through a questionnaire administered to a sample of 266 Arabic language teachers. Overall, the use of digital learning tools was high across all dimensions. Lesson preparation recorded the highest level, followed by quality of life, lesson implementation, and lesson evaluation. The results indicate that digital learning tools have a positive effect on both language skills development and quality of life. Among the examined dimensions, lesson implementation showed the strongest effect, whereas lesson preparation did not yield a statistically significant effect. Language skills also showed a direct positive effect on quality of life. In addition, the findings indicate an indirect effect of digital learning tools on quality of life through language skills, supporting the mediating role of language skills in explaining the relationships among the study variables.
