THE ROLE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN MODERN EDUCATION

Abstract

This article explores the role of digital technologies in shaping modern education. It highlights the transformation of traditional teaching methods into technology-enhanced practices that promote accessibility, interactivity, and personalized learning. The study employs a qualitative literature review and thematic analysis of scholarly works published between 2015 and 2025. The findings show that digital technologies improve teaching quality, increase learner engagement, facilitate collaboration, and provide opportunities for personalized learning. However, challenges such as digital inequality, insufficient teacher training, and over-reliance on technology remain significant obstacles. The paper concludes that a balanced integration of digital tools, guided by sound pedagogical strategies, is essential for achieving effective educational outcomes in the digital era.
