Innovations in Education, Digital Transformation, and Pedagogical Technologies

ABSTRACT

In recent years, a large number of reforms have been implemented in our country, especially in the field of education. As a result of these reforms, modern teaching methods, digital transformation, and innovative pedagogical technologies have been introduced in all educational institutions, including vocational schools, general secondary and specialized secondary education institutions, as well as higher education institutions. Regardless of the type of education system, the state has created numerous favorable conditions for young people.

This article examines the essence, advantages, and disadvantages of the digital transformation process in education.

Keywords:

education system, innovation, digital transformation, innovative technologies, socio-pedagogical knowledge, educational innovations, educational process, effective organization of the learning process.

The education system plays a crucial role in the development of society. In the 21st century, digital technologies and innovations have brought education to a new level. Digital transformation refers to the introduction of digital technologies in all aspects of the education system and their effective application in the teaching and learning process. The impact of digital transformation on the education system leads to new forms of learning and teaching activities for both students and teachers.

Digital transformation is a process of fundamental reform of all sectors, including education, through the use of modern information and communication technologies (ICT). Uzbekistan is also one of the rapidly developing countries in this direction, where the widespread implementation of innovative technologies in education has become a priority of the national development strategy. The Presidential Resolution No. PQ-118 dated February 28, 2022, specifically emphasizes the development of the digital economy and the extensive use of ICT in all sectors, particularly in education. This has created a legal and institutional foundation for improving the quality of education in Uzbekistan based on modern technologies.

In the field of education, digital transformation involves the implementation of modern ICT at all stages of the educational process and the integration of traditional teaching methods with innovative technologies. This transformation contributes to improving the quality of education and developing students’ independent thinking, creative approaches, and problem-solving skills.

Digital transformation primarily simplifies the learning process and makes it more convenient, interactive, and learner-centered. For example, Learning Management System (LMS) platforms are used to deliver educational materials, monitor assignments, and conduct assessments through automated systems. This not only saves teachers’ time but also enables analytical monitoring of students’ learning activities.

Let us consider the advantages and challenges of digital transformation.

Advantages:

Access to education anytime and anywhere.

Opportunities for individualized learning.

Effective assessment and analysis.

Diversity of educational resources.

Challenges:

Uneven development of internet infrastructure.

Low level of digital literacy among teachers.

Reduction of face-to-face communication among students.

High cost of digital technologies.

Digital transformation in education also expands opportunities for open educational resources, online courses, and distance learning. Regardless of geographical or social barriers, students gain access to high-quality educational resources from anywhere in the world. This contributes to the democratization and inclusiveness of education.

However, digital transformation also presents certain challenges. These include insufficient internet infrastructure in some regions, limited professional capacity in the use of digital technologies, and inadequate ICT training among teachers. In addition, excessive reliance on digital tools may lead to decreased student concentration and a lack of real interpersonal communication, which can have negative consequences.

Digital transformation not only improves the quality of education but also enhances the intellectual potential of society as a whole.

Educational innovations refer to a set of forms, methods, and technologies applied to solve existing problems in the education sector or learning process through new approaches, ensuring significantly more effective results. Educational innovations are also referred to as innovative education. The concept of innovative education was first introduced in 1979 at the Club of Rome. Educational innovations can be classified as follows:

According to the field of activity: innovations applied in the pedagogical process and in the management of the education system.

According to the nature of changes introduced: radical, modified, and combined innovations.

According to the scale of changes: sectoral, modular, and system-level innovations.

According to the source of origin: innovations created or adopted directly by a collective.

The key difference between innovation and ordinary novelty is that innovation must have a flexible mechanism that allows for management and control. When discussing innovative pedagogical technologies, it is essential to consider the concept of pedagogical technology. The term “pedagogical technology” entered scientific use in 1872 in connection with technological progress and originates from the Greek words techne (art, skill, craft) and logos (science), meaning “the science of skill.”

Pedagogical technology represents the strategy for implementing information technologies and is based on knowledge related to the functional system laws of the “educational environment – learner.” The structure of pedagogical technology includes a conceptual foundation, the content of the educational process, and the technological process. Each pedagogical technology is based on a specific scientific concept. Its scientific concept encompasses philosophical, psychological, socio-pedagogical, and didactic foundations aimed at achieving educational goals.

The content of the educational process consists of general and specific objectives and the content of learning materials. The technological process includes the organization of the learning process, the activities of the teacher and students, methods of managing the educational process, and learning diagnostics.

Pedagogical technology is a field of knowledge in which values such as freedom of thought, loyalty, humanism, and patriotism are cultivated in both teachers and students. In modernized education, contemporary lessons are essential to consistently and comprehensively develop students’ knowledge and potential.

At the same time, extensive efforts are being made in our country to apply pedagogical and information technologies in the educational process. The scientific and theoretical foundations of this issue, as well as the specific features of each pedagogical technology, have been developed, and sufficient practical experience has been accumulated. Foreign organizations also provide close support in implementing pedagogical and information technologies in education.

In G.K. Selevko’s textbook “Modern Educational Technologies,” various technologies used in the educational process are compiled, along with their scientific-theoretical and methodological foundations, classification, and mechanisms for practical application.

INTRODUCTION

Today, the desire to learn a language is growing, one of which is English. There are many problems that learners face on this path. For example, pronunciation problems, grammatical errors, difficulty understanding listening, low self-confidence, and inability to communicate freely. All of these problems are inherent in the native language of each learner, which means that the native language can have a positive effect on the process of mastering the English language and can help solve problems. It is clear that this article proves how effective the mother tongue is in teaching English and provides useful suggestions.

Nowadays, there are many opportunities for language learners, especially English learners. An example of this is that linguists who have achieved 7.0 and a high score in the IELTS exam in Uzbekistan have been reimbursed for the cost of the exam, and the opportunity for foreign universities to win a full grand can also open this very English. As our president explained: “it’s time to establish a new environment in which the future will be the foundation for teaching foreign languages.” Therefore, this article presents the results of effective, useful, and beneficial research towards creating this environment.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY: The extent to which the native language affects the process of second language learning during this introduction has been determined through several methods:

1. Theoretical analysis: with the help of this method, an analysis of scientific works and articles, tutorials on the role and importance of the native language in mastering English was studied in depth. The research of researchers such as David Nunan, the valuable information they gave, the concepts were analyzed one by one.
2. Observational and applied research: the shortcomings or achievements of young people whose native language is other in the learning process of English have been meticulously observed, and the difference between the two has been clearly demonstrated.
3. Experimental group and control group: two other groups with the first language were selected and approaches and guidelines in their language learning process were established. The results shown were compared in each group.
4. Survey and evaluation: questionnaires were distributed and the results were compared to those who were knowledgeable and received about the impact of their native language on the second language learning process.

REVIEW OF USED LITERATURE

This topic is much more relevant now that the passion for learning a language is high. Also, the work of all the researchers who worked within the framework of this topic was analyzed one by one Also, the work of all the researchers who worked within the framework of this topic was analyzed one by one. Obviously, the problems of several language learners have also been solved in a positive way, but to this day no new ideas for the distribution of new methods, a separate group or teachers have been developed, depending on the native language of the students and to what extent they know the grammar of this language. It is very easy to find out from their result that the work of the researchers mentioned earlier was also thorough, consistent and negative.

Focusing on foreign sources Do Quoc Khanh, on the other hand, shares his experience with 100 readers in his article and touches on their origins, problems in pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary. Another researcher Kuldashev Rustambek Avezmurodovich mentions that the native language plays an important role not only in language learning, but also in teaching, and focuses more on the useful aspects of the native language that the English language gives to the learning process. 

RESULTS

This section introduces the outcome of the above-mentioned experiences and compares young people with two different native languages. The results show that students who know languages whose grammar, position in the sentence structure English is the same, have a 20% higher language acquisition process efficiency than other learners. The role and significance of the first language is also felt when working with the group is given in this study. In addition, the results of a survey from teachers and students show that 80% of people have assessed that the learning process of English is influenced by the first language of the learner. The result of the study:

A total of 80% of people shown in blue and they consider their native language important in the language learning process. The people shown in yellow consider effort and exploration important in the process of learning a language. The percentage of people who prioritize motivation is in gray.

CONCLUSION

It is clear that the learner’s first language has an impact on their language acquisition process. The grammar, pronunciation, and word order of a learner’s native language can make learning a new language easier. It is clear that along with a passion for language learning, motivation, and relentless efforts, first language is important for language learning. The results of research, scientific works, and studies show that language is a social phenomenon, and the first language a learner acquires determines their subsequent language acquisition process.

We can say that the first language of the learner brings with it opportunities or challenges, depending on what it is. It is undeniable that each language has its own opportunities or challenges. If I offer suggestions and recommendations, the method of grouping learners based on their first language can facilitate the language acquisition process and provide several opportunities.

Thirty-three years ago,

I met you,

And set you on a lifetime of giving.

Back then,

I said I was an ethnic minority,

You said you had long yearned for that;

I said I was born in the great southwest,

You said you had always dreamed of its wonderful customs and scenery;

I said I was a man from the mountains,

You said you loved my calm and kindness;

I said I was just a worker-peasant student,

You said it was because the college entrance exam had not yet resumed;

I said my work would keep me in the fields,

You said that was the most down-to-earth;

I said I was penniless and had no luck with wealth,

You said having knowledge made me the richest man;

I said my profession had once seen many “rightists”,

You said that era was gone forever;

I said my Mandarin was not fluent,

You said your skill would help me speak with a Beijing accent.

Your figure was everywhere on the stage back then,

Your beauty was indispensable to the landscape;

Countless eyes were drawn to you,

Many hearts were set ablaze by you.

What did it matter that you were not from the mountains, an ethnic minority, from the great southwest, or a worker-peasant student?

Who made you stay true to your heart,

And walk with me for thirty-three years?

Thirty-three years passed,

You followed me through wind, frost, and toil.

My home expanded from eight square meters,

My salary grew from forty-nine yuan;

My academic career started with short articles,

My steps always measured the land of words,

My spirit always roamed the cosmos.

Yet I bore none of the burden of raising our daughter and caring for our parents;

You raised our daughter and cared for our parents, always shedding tears alone;

You found joy in those tears,

You endured illness and pain in silence,

You never doubted anything I did,

Firmly believing I would always stay true to my original heart:

Upholding one faith,

Cherishing one ideal,

Joining one political party,

Holding one nationality,

Pursuing one profession,

Earning one salary,

Needing one home,

Loving one woman,

Raising one child,

Not envying others’ wealth and many descendants.

Thirty-three years later,

I never took you to watch lanterns,

I rarely went to dances with you;

I never asked about daily chores or social status,

I never knew the hardship of cleaning and sweeping;

You always hoped my writings would outlive me,

You loved my calm and peaceful nature.

Your sweetness was lying down to hear me tell stories of “Wolf Grandma”,

Your comfort was singing a song softly or loudly,

Your encouragement was a sincere and true kiss,

Your love was a gentle smile without many words,

Your promise was to hold my hand as we grow old.

Ah,

My beloved wife,

Thirty-two years is not short,

Thirty-two years is not long;

How many black hairs have turned to white frost,

My beloved wife,

In this life and the next, I owe you more and more,

In this life and the next, I owe you more and more——

Yet I still have a heart full of passion,

Yet I still have a heart full of loyalty,

I can only move forward bravely,

I can only give you all my love.

My beloved wife,

I will never forget your days and nights under the stars and moon for thirty-three years,

I will never forget your hand in mine through wind and snow,

I will never forget your letters when I wandered far and wide,

I will never forget your heartbeat when I rose and fell in officialdom.

Thirty-three years later,

I will also never forget how you warmed me in the bitter cold,

I will never forget how you made soup for our family and stayed by my side;

I will never forget how you remained unstained in a corrupt world,

Like an orchid blooming quietly in an empty valley, exuding a faint fragrance.

The Ark

What’s art to the soul, bees’re to flowers; a wasteland without either?

I’m pushed far off into the river, because the government wants to uproot this slum and develop the land. Land is scarce, and I have been driven out with the rest of slum-dwellers, not once or twice but many, driven out mercilessly, our shacks bulldozed, our spirits broken. But we rise again in a phoenix existence, governments cannot rid of us. 

The sun rises even as we speak, I see lights filtered through the bees of the lush forest around the deep seas where the river and the sea meet, where I make an ark and I sleep in it another type of dwelling made in the seas. An expert in ark-making which I’ve become now from building a long ark, way too long for all the slum dwellers to live. This skill is a lifesaver, I make, mend broken arks and paint over its solid wood, until this becomes an art. Every time a hut on land is bulldozed, tall towers, constructed in its place, I appear before the demolished shacks to take advantage, and elsewhere into the seas until the ark glows at night like a spec on dark sea waves.

Ark dwellers pay me well. I can now build a brick house with it on an isolated island; papers, leases—documents, works for all that’s worth. Even join the builders’ group with such quality skills I’ve learn’t from ark building. They will gladly hire me and I can eventually buy them off. Great transformations lay on the horizon, as I start to lay bricks for a building of development project of a newly vacated slum. Then one day, a few men from the ark come along putting a claim to the land, because this is where their lost shacks were. They are no seafarers.

I look at them, I hide my face for I know these people whom I built strong new arks, my soulful arts on the sea. In my growing distance from the hive, those live off the sea. Oh! Look, look at me! What I have become!  My place isn’t on board the ark is an art I chose, which I choose to opt out. I’m a beyond rich, a brick layer by trade who owns a flat on this island—a wasteland of monstrosity called development, ultimately altruistic, a symbiotic symbolism where bees and beaus disconnect.
