The challenges of Educational Technology
Abstract
Educational Technology is not restricted to the simple technical implementation of tools, but it is a discipline that approaches the study of resources, their design, integration and evaluation in educational and social environments, as well as the development of digital competences. Educational Technology is constantly in evolution and spends a significant part of its efforts on epistemological reflection about the discipline itself. In the current context, characterised by the impulse of digitalisation, the influence of algorithms and the arrival of generative Artificial Intelligence, Educational Technology faces new challenges as a discipline. However, it also has the potential to provide valuable solutions, as its basics become more important than ever in this changing environment. This issue of the RiiTE journal focuses on a variety of topics of contemporary relevance in the field of Educational Technology, such as aspects related to digital competences in different educational contexts, youth entrepreneurship, smart classrooms, fake news, teacher training and professional networks, etc. This issue presents both quantitative and qualitative studies and represents a clear contribution to the discipline of Educational Technology in its current challenges.
