Abstract

In the context of the global digital transformation, the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) into education has become one of the most essential factors in improving teaching quality and learning efficiency. This study analyzes the expansion of ICT application areas in education, emphasizing the transition from teacher-centered to learner-centered approaches. The paper explores how technologies such as artificial intelligence, multimedia, virtual and augmented reality, and telecommunication networks can enhance cognitive, creative, and communicative skills among learners. Furthermore, it discusses the pedagogical implications of technology integration and the challenges educators face in adapting to digital innovations.
