Learning, Innovation and Competitiveness: The Learning Society

Abstract

The information and communications technology are in the classroom with different penetration, acceptance and presence. Online teaching has been the maximum representation of the educational use of the technology, but technology in the face-to-face classrooms was seen as a complement rather than a true tool for the methodological change. However, the circumstances are being taken to make this change. Successful flipping class models, blended learning and especially mobile devices are the main drivers of this change. Nevertheless, the digital competence of current and future teachers is key to consolidate technology in the classroom pedagogically. This special issue explores this topic with seven articles that address the use of technology in the classroom from different perspectives to change, from a pedagogical point of view, the relationship between teacher and student without forgetting the teachers’ digital skills.
