DIGITAL TOOLS DRIVING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND PERSONALIZED EDUCATION

Abstract

In the digital age, education is undergoing a profound transformation as digital tools increasingly shape the dynamics of teaching and learning. One of the most significant impacts of this transformation is the enhancement of student engagement and the emergence of personalized education models. This article explores the growing influence of digital technologies in fostering active participation, individualization, and deeper connections between students and their learning experiences. It delves into how tools such as learning management systems, educational applications, artificial intelligence, and data analytics are redefining pedagogical strategies to better meet the diverse needs of learners. The paper also discusses the psychological and social dimensions of engagement in digitally mediated learning environments, while emphasizing the critical importance of teacher adaptability, institutional support, and digital equity. The findings suggest that when implemented thoughtfully, digital tools can create more inclusive, motivating, and effective educational experiences that empower students and promote lifelong learning.
