Synopsis

This chapter explores the essence, content, and effectiveness of digital pedagogy in the context of open education. It analyzes the state of implementation of digital pedagogy in global and Ukrainian education and science, and examines its development under conditions of digitalization and distance learning through sociological survey data. The findings confirm the unique role of digital pedagogy in formal, non-formal, and informal education, highlighting its effectiveness in educational and scientific activity. Digital pedagogy is defined as a new field of pedagogical science aimed at using online and hybrid learning environments to improve individualized learning, create methodologies that integrate digital tools, and enhance cognitive activity. The chapter also investigates how digital pedagogy overcomes the limitations of traditional approaches – such as fixed curricula, limited classroom hours, and restricted communication – by enabling anytime-anywhere learning with diverse digital methods. A methodological toolkit for applying digital pedagogy in preschool, primary, and adolescent education is proposed.
