THE IMPACT OF E-LEARNING ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF SELECTED DEVELOPING COUNTRIES FOR THE PERIOD (2000-2017)

Abstract

The study of the relationship between e-learning inputs and economic growth is a constant topic in theoretical circles, and new ideas are often gained when discussed, as classical economic theory says that the economic growth of a country depends mainly on capital growth, employment growth, human capital growth and technological progress. An important way to increase human capital. There is a relationship between technology education and economic development that is mutually influencing and mutually reinforcing. On the one hand, e-learning encourages technological innovation by improving the quality of workers, thus effectively promoting economic growth. On the other hand, economic growth is the material basis and condition for the development of technological education. Economic growth can also drive thedevelopment of higher education with increased social demand and expanded human capital.

Based on the theoretical analysis of the relationship between e-learning inputs (virtual) and economic growth, this study selects a sample of data from developing countries for the period 2000-2017, and uses a simple linear regression model to test the relationship between the two

using PanelData, where consistent data for seven were obtained Ten countries (Jordan, Algeria, Tunisia, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Qatar, the Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman ,, Palestine, Iran, Libya, Mauritania, Djibouti, Lebanon).    

The results showed that educational inputs and economic growth constitute an interaction mechanism characterized by dynamic circulation. E-learning inputs (virtual) are important factors in economic growth. Nowadays, e-learning input is an important source and driver of innovation for economic growth, and technology education will promote economic growth. However, technological education has a positive effect on economic growth.
