DIGITAL PEDAGOGY: EFFECTIVE TEACHING METHODS FOR GENERATION Z
Abstract
Today, the widespread integration of digital technologies into the field of education necessitates the renewal and improvement of teaching methodologies. Digital pedagogy is recognized as one of the most effective approaches for stimulating students’ interest in the natural sciences, deepening their conceptual understanding, and reinforcing their knowledge.
A modern educator is no longer merely a transmitter of information, but also a mentor, guide, and motivator. This shift is especially crucial when working with today’s students — the representatives of Generation Z, who possess an entirely different way of thinking. They have grown up in a technological environment, are accustomed to a constant flow of information, and prefer practical, hands-on approaches.
In such circumstances, the traditional “teacher speaks – student writes” model is losing its effectiveness. This situation compels educators to adopt new approaches and innovative methods.
