New Features of Learners in Education

Abstract

Throughout the recent decades there have been rapid developments and changes in terms of science and technology. From now on, individuals want a flexible education format in which time and place are changeable in line with their desires and concerns. Particularly from the perspective of lifelong learning, digitalization can be seen as an important element which forces individuals to change. Some of these are digital awareness, digital competence, and digital fluency. As one of the digital terms, digital competence includes the effective, efficient, critical, flexible, and reflective structuring of information for business, learning, and socializing, while the latter digital fluency is the ability to know when and where to use technology. The main problem that stands out is adapting education programs according to the new developments. The restructuring of the program development activities, so as to raise individuals with changing and developing knowledge, skills, and attitudes, acts like a spotlight which highlights the critical role of program development in the education system.

La automatización de las actividades educativas genera que un alto porcentaje de las actividades cotidianas se realice frente a un dispositivo digital (portátil, tabletas y equipos móviles), en consecuencia, un estudiante que no posea las capacidades y competencias necesarias no podrá integrarse a una sociedad digitalizada (Cattaneo et al, 2022;Olesika et al, 2021).…”
