Digital Pedagogy

Digital pedagogy has a specific object of study (education based on information technology), a general function, aimed at the optimal utilization of IT resources, and a basic structure, fixed at the level of correlation between IT technologies and such didactic actions as teaching, learning, and assessment. Digital didactics, developed as an applied part of digital pedagogy, analyzes “explanatory models of learning”, related to psychological theories of learning, which can be reconstructed “with the help of information and communication technologies”: the model of the community of interest/investigation; the cognitive model of multimedia learning; the connectivist learning model; and the online collaborative learning model. These models confirm the curriculum paradigm, based on the necessary viable link between the psychological dimension of education and the socio-cognitive evolution of the educated.
