Construction of a Knowledge Society: Developments in Information Technology and Educational Management

Dear Colleagues,

We currently live in a technological society, where digital competence is a fundamental requirement to develop as citizens. The Knowledge Society implies a transformation in our way of life, where digital technologies are continuously present. Th new way of life supposes a constant interaction with digital technologies that provoked changes in our ways of thinking, acting, proceeding and learning. The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a unique opportunity to understand the need for training that exists regarding the digital skills of all citizens. The current situation is an ideal time to think, analyze and contribute to this reality. For the educational system of all countries, it is a challenge to adequately develop and integrate digital technologies in the learning and comprehension processes that take place in the classroom at any educational level since, currently, boys and girls are consumers of technological resources from a very young age. Therefore, teachers need to be trained to prepare future generations to make responsible and profitable use of technologies. This Special Issue seeks contributions that allow us to inspire, reflect and contribute to the educational digital transformation for social development. Scientific contributions that exemplify and report on good educational practices with ICT from an inclusive perspective will be accepted.

Contributions have to follow one of the three categories of papers (article, conceptual paper or review) for the journal and address the topic of the special issue.
