Educational technologies; learning transformation; digital pedagogyAbstract
This study explored how educational technologies transform learning, with the aim of analyzing the impact of these tools on contemporary pedagogy. Using a mixed-methods approach, combining literature review and case studies, various educational platforms and applications were examined. The findings reveal that technologies enhance interactivity and personalization of learning, fostering student autonomy. However, challenges such as the digital divide and the need for teacher training are identified. It is concluded that the effective integration of technologies requires a sound pedagogical approach, where technology complements, but does not replace, human interaction.
