The digital transformation is revolutionizing education, changing how content is delivered, accessed, and assessed. This paper explores the role of digital technologies in enhancing teaching methods, student engagement, and learning outcomes. Using a mixed-methods approach, it combines a survey of 200 educators with 10 in-depth interviews with educational technology experts. The survey examines the frequency and context of digital tool usage, effectiveness, and challenges, while interviews provide strategic insights and future trends.
Findings reveal that Learning Management Systems (LMS) improve administrative efficiency and communication between students and educators. Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) technologies increase student engagement through immersive experiences, and AI-driven software personalizes learning by addressing individual needs. However, challenges like the digital divide, privacy concerns, and the need for comprehensive teacher training persist.
Opportunities include fostering global classrooms, enhancing collaboration, and enabling continuous learning beyond traditional settings. Strategies to overcome challenges involve investing in digital infrastructure, developing robust privacy policies, and extensive teacher professional development.
This research offers actionable insights for integrating digital technologies in education, providing a roadmap for educators and policymakers to navigate the evolving digital landscape, emphasizing a balanced approach to maximize benefits while mitigating risks.
