Abstract

This study discuss the integration of internet resources into the learning process of Chinese international high school students, emphasizing their reliance, perceptions, and challenges in digital learning environments. Through a investigations of 536 students, the research reveals that 73.69% of respondents utilize internet resources daily, with social media (28.63%), educational videos (27.02%), and academic papers (25.4%) serving as primary tools. While 77.8% of participants acknowledge the significant positive impact of online resources on learning outcomes, persistent technical issues (reported by 290 respondents) and concerns over content quality (357 respondents) hinder optimal utilization. Notably, attitudes toward replacing traditional methods remain divided, with 46.08% supporting online alternatives and 40.67% expressing skepticism. The findings underscore an "information literacy imbalance," where students heavily access non-academic platforms but lack strategic evaluation skills. The study advocates for improved technical infrastructure, curated content systems, and targeted digital literacy training to address gaps in accessibility and efficacy. These calls aim to foster inclusive, cross-cultural educational environments that align with evolving technological demands, ultimately bridging the divide between resource availability and effective pedagogical integration.
