Digital Transformation in Indian Education: Unleashing the Power of Digital Media for Educational Evolution

Abstract

The research delves into the impact of digital media on teaching and learning in Indian schools through a mixed-methods study involving 1,000 students, teachers, and administrators. Quantitative findings show widespread use of online learning platforms, particularly video lectures, enhancing student engagement and outcomes. Teachers are effectively incorporating digital tools despite connectivity challenges. Interviews reveal benefits like interactive learning but raise concerns about screen time and equitable access. The study underscores digital media's potential in reshaping Indian education, emphasising the need for infrastructure, teacher training, and digital literacy improvements to ensure inclusive digitisation. A balanced approach is advocated to optimise technology benefits while mitigating drawbacks, guiding policymakers in advancing Education 2.0 for enhanced learning opportunities for all students in India.
