Abstract

Digital transformation has an important role as it revolutionizes teaching and learning, offering access, engagement, and personalized instruction. The aim of the research is to evaluate the role of digital transformation within the Ukrainian educational institutions and to reveal its potentials towards enhancement of teaching efficiency. To answer the research questions the mixed methodology approach was applied that offers in-depth examining the role of digital transformation in education. The methods included literature review, content analysis, interviews, and observations, t-test, statistical analysis, modeling, and thematic analysis. Over 40 recent scientific works were chosen to study the problem from the conceptual dimension and organize accurate empirical survey. The investigation involved 48 instructors and 93 bachelor students from four Ukrainian educational institutions. The results showed that integrating digital tools within the educational environment can enhance the teaching efficiency since digitalization enables accessibility to educational materials and personalized learning. The special attention was paid towards instructors and students’ perceptions of digital transformations in education. The results found that digital educational process was described as dynamic, interactive, flexible, innovative, technology-enhanced, and motivating. The Ukrainian context create special conditions for digital transformations at the educational institutions. Also, the recommendations to implement digital transformations in education to enhance the efficiency of teaching based on instructors and students’ responses were developed during the research. It was found that the implementation of digital transformations requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the conceptual, organizational, methodical, and content levels. The findings can be applied within the educational institutions to improve the efficiency of teaching through digital tools.
