Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As the digital transformation continues to progress, its impact on education systems around the world has been pervasive and complex. This Special Issue aims to explore the challenges, opportunities, good practices, conceptual models, and organizational learning in the context of innovative paths to human–machine cooperation in education systems. We invite researchers to submit original research articles with a focus on, but not limited to, the following topics:

  • Integration of digital and AI competences in curricula and courses across different educational levels;
  • Influence and impact of novel digital technologies including AI tools in education systems as learning organizations;
  • Leveraging digital technologies to foster student learning on a cognitive and meta-cognitive level, thereby impacting organizational learning;
  • Cognitive, meta-cognitive, infrastructural, and organizational prerequisites for technology-enhanced self-regulated learning and implications for educators and education systems;
  • Influence of digital technologies on the disciplines of learning organization in educational institutions;
  • Societal effects of the utilization of technology for the purpose of promoting educational equity via targeting inclusion, accessibility, and employability;
  • Implications of digital humanism in education systems;
  • Digitalization strategies and their implementation in education systems at various levels;
  • Digitalization maturity models in education;
  • Success factors and ethics of human–machine cooperation in education.

We welcome qualitative and quantitative studies, review articles, and conference extension. We look forward to receiving insightful contributions.
