تحديات التعلم الرقمي في ضوء مهارات القرن الواحد و العشرين : دراسة استطلاعية

الملخص EN

This research paper proceeds from the approach of a set of concepts: digital learning, networked learning, and 21st century skills, to present an exploratory study that aims to identify the extent to which a sample of professors and students, who adopt the digital education style, control the skills necessary for the future.

This paper is based on the assumption that traditional learning theories "behavioural, cognitive and constructivist" fall short to some extent in explaining how learning occurs in a complex digital environment, to examine the possibility of presenting networked learning theory as a complement to traditional theories.

We also try to contribute to discussing the major transformations that affected the nature of learning and its systems in the digital age, by touching on the problem of the gap between digital education and the appropriate skills necessary for its success.

The study is based on a main hypothesis; That there is a gap between the future skills identified by many international bodies, and the digital skills possessed by professors and students (represented in the study sample) while they practice digital learning in reality.

The study also assumes that most of the sample members control only basic skills, while a few group control intermediate skills, and rarely control advanced skills.
