Abstract
The impact of technology and its advancements has proliferated in all the sectors of the economy, including the education sector. The integration of technology into the education sector is very evident from the teaching pedagogy and strategies followed by educational institutions worldwide. The concept of blended learning has gained much attention due to its multifaceted nature; as it includes blending traditional face to face teaching with the use of online and electronic media. As the integration of technology requires huge amounts of student data to be processed, it can also lead to ethical dilemmas and concerns due to its sensitive and confidential nature. This chapter focuses on the various dimensions of technological integration in the education system and its practical implications on enhancing student learning and engagement. In order to provide a road map for future research on developing an education model that can improve learning and teaching experiences, the article also addresses key hurdles, ethical issues, and potential risks of integrating AI for education.
TopWhile it is still important to assist students in acquiring fundamental practical skills, education should also focus on the human development of its pupils as members of local, national, and international society. Education must be perceived as a means of achieving lifelong learning, fulfillment, enjoyment, welfare, opportunities, and the ability to make a positive contribution to humanity (Astle et al., 2019). Therefore, in order to empower all students to make informed decisions and cultivate their passions and distinctive abilities, schools must offer thorough access and in-depth exposure to all subject areas across all years (Chen, 2023).
