THE IMPORTANCE OF DIGITAL INCLUSION IN MODERN EDUCATION

Abstract

The research addressed the importance of digital inclusion in modern education, focusing on how the integration of digital technologies can impact access to educational resources and the quality of teaching. The problem investigated was: what is the effectiveness of digital inclusion in reducing inequalities and improving academic performance? The overall objective was to analyze how digital tools influence education and identify the challenges and opportunities associated with this inclusion. The methodology used consisted of a literature review, using academic sources to examine relevant studies and articles on the subject. The research revealed that digital inclusion can promote greater equity by facilitating access to materials and resources, as well as improving student performance through personalized pedagogical practices. Continuous teacher training has been identified as an essential factor for the effective integration of digital technologies into the educational environment. However, challenges were also observed, such as the need for adequate infrastructure and support for educators and students. The final considerations highlighted that, for digital inclusion to benefit the educational environment, a continuous effort is needed in policies and practices that support the use of technologies. Future studies could explore the conditions and strategies for an effective implementation of digital technologies in education.
