EDUCATIONAL TRANSFORMATION: PEDAGOGICAL PARADIGM SHIFTS IN THE DIGITAL ERA

Abstract

The rapid digitalization of education in India has led to a significant transformation in pedagogical paradigms. Traditional teacher-centered instruction is giving way to student-centered, technology-driven approaches that emphasize experiential learning, interactivity, and personalized education. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), online platforms, and blended learning models has redefined instructional strategies, assessment methods, and classroom engagement. Government initiatives like the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 have further accelerated this transition by promoting digital literacy, infrastructure development, and equitable access to technology.
