Theme

Digital Pedagogy and It's Strategic Implications for Civic Education

As one of the consequences of technological advancements, digital pedagogy has increasingly changed our teaching and learning experiences in the past few decades. It affects our knowledge and thinking skills, our emotional intelligence as well as our virtues. Civic education is not immune to the opportunities and challenges posed by such a transforming force. Accordingly, students and teachers of civic education need support to keep pace with it.
