Pedagógia, innováció, technológia, digitalis kultúra – A digitalizáció új irányai (Pedagogy, innovation, technology, digital culture – New dimensions of digitalisation)

The impact of digitalisation and technological change on teaching and learning has been deeply investigated by several authors and research groups to underline a shift in the culture of education, social change and lifelong learning.Another focus of the argument is the sustainability matter of education, which makes us consider several aspects of digitalisation in the contexts of effective knowledge transfer and skills development to support effective and efficient learning ecosystems in a digital economy (Wilson, 2017).The work we are reflecting on here is entitled Pedagogy, Innovation, Technology, Digital Culture -New Dimensions of Digitalisation.It offers a critical reflection on four identical challenges of pedagogy to generate developments of digital pedagogy as a frame of necessary means and methods to support quality teaching and learning constrained by technological changes.This monography is an accurate summary of trends, initiatives and issues tied up with digitalisation as a process strongly emphasized by IT innovations like Artificial Intelligence.The combined influence of globalisation, ICT and the immense spread of knowledge has generated an overall change in our lives, and in almost all of its aspects to face challenges and difficulties with lots of uncertainties.In his book, Molnár argues that we can only adapt to such a scale of change and challenge by holding the skills necessary to cope with the dominance of digital technologies and devices, both at the workplace and in other communities, in order to promote lifelong learning through flexible and innovative forms of knowledge transfer.Education quality plays a key role in such directions to prepare the workforce and citizens to cope with the use of various devices in the digital age.Therefore, the author has examined strategies, reforms and trends of particularly successful education systems.Another valuable aspect of the book is its four dimensions as chapters discussing the specific roles of education with expected inputs.The first chapter deals with global and local concerns towards sustainability with its manyfold constraints towards education as a system.Accordingly, the chapter indicates the impact of ICT and the role of information to force almost all to cope with the search for and use of information mainly through ICT-based digital tools and software.
