Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to contribute to the debate on the need for digital education to facilitate incorporation into society, from different dimensions: reflective, critical, creative, communicative, etc., for adaptation to a changing and ubiquitous world. Nowadays, learning in unthinkable contexts and in a fast way, supposes an education model that attends to different types of competences, among them the digital one, as a necessary and key transversal competence in the teaching–learning process; without forgetting those who lead this formative process, who will be required to have a wide, varied and diverse role and competence profile. The question is to know if there are transformative institutions that train these professionals to be competent and able to respond to the needs that are emerging in this society and to be the facilitators of a multiplicity of inter/intra-personal connections.
The opportunities and challenges involved in this vital context are diverse and systematically converge and transform each other. Looking for the opportunity in the challenge; situations that challenge us to discover opportunities is the daily life of trainers and citizens of the 21st century.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Beliefs and conceptions for the development of digital education and e-learning.
- Digital transformation of public and private administrations and educational institutions.
- Digital education in and for learning in diverse contexts.
- Digital literacy or digital education?
- Technology and education: what is the main element: means or end?
- Technology and education: progress, challenges and trends.
- Innovative models and methodological strategies for digital education

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
