Key Points

To examine the paradox between expanding digital communication and actual learning, proposing a shift from viewing media as simple pedagogical tools to understanding them as complex relational ecosystems.
Applied a conceptual framework centered on Communication Ecosystems and Ecosystemic Epistemology to assess contemporary pedagogical dynamics.
Critically analyzed media education (educommunication), platform algorithms, and artificial intelligence within digital educational environments.
Identified that communication abundance fails to foster genuine learning without structured pedagogical disruption, systematic investigation, and comparative inquiry.
Emphasized repositioning students from passive media consumers to active subjects engaged in the critical interpretation, production, and circulation of knowledge.
Proposed citizen digital transformation to enable educational institutions to turn relentless message circulation into relational, authentic understanding.
