Abstract:
This work identifies five major challenges faced by emerging models of construction and creation of knowledge in digital contexts: the democratization of education and the analysis of issues related to diversity in a broad sense; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications regarding the uses of ICT in education; the existence of multiple and diverse contexts for the construction and creation of knowledge, their interrelation and their necessary articulation; content curation, its impact on educational practices, its implications for teacher training and for student learning; and learning analytics and their role in decision-making aimed at improving teaching effectiveness and optimizing learning. These five areas are reviewed as well as their most significant aspects, which should be the object of special attention in research and educational innovation in the coming years. It also includes an annex dedicated to presenting a glossary of some terms used in the work.
