Analyzing the role of digital transformation in education by a focus on innovation with a meta-synthesis method

Abstract :

Due to the direction of trends toward 5.0 industry technologies, a new concept called digital transformation has emerged, which has affected various areas of society. Since reaching the desired level of application of Industry 5.0 requires the training of skilled human resources in the application and development of technologies in this field, its widespread use in education was quickly followed in many countries. The innovative integration of these technologies in education has made the traditional methods of education extinct, which has led to a serious transformation in the learning process in schools and universities. Identifying the dimensions and components of digital transformation in education can help policymakers facilitate this process and lead to accelerating the achievement of digitalization goals. Intending to identify these dimensions and components, this research has examined 47 related articles with the meta synthesis method. Then, in the quantitative section, to determine the order of importance of the dimensions and their weighting factor, a ranking has been done. The results of the research showed that among the six identified dimensions, organizational transformation with a weighting factor of 0.217 has the highest priority and infrastructural transformation with a weighting factor of 0.201 has the second priority. The general results of the research have also shown the importance of adopting an ecosystem approach in the implementation of digital transformation in schools.
