DIGITAL EDUCATION AND ITS DISTINGUISHING FEATURES

Abstract

There is conclusive evidence that digital devices, tools ,and resources, when used effectively, canincrease the speed and depth of science and mathematics learning for learners at the primary and secondary levels. There is suggestive evidence that the same can be said for some aspects of literacy, particularly writing and comprehension. Digital technology appears to be an appropriate vehicle for improving basic literacy and numeracy skills, especially in primary education. While there are benefits to the use of digital learning, the magnitude of the effects is generally similar to other educational interventions that are effective in raising achievement. The extent of the effect may also be tempered by teachers' level of competence in effective digital learning tools and resources to improve learning outcomes. More effective use of digital education to raise achievement requires that teachers have the ability to identify how digital tools and resources can be used to achieve learning outcomes and adapt their approaches, as well as knowledge and understand technology. In this article, all features will be analyzed.
