Digitalization and Transformation of Teaching and Learning in Bangladesh

Abstract

Education in the 21st Century is considered one of the basic needs in society, although millions of people are remaining out of the boundary of minimum literacy. In such circumstance, the digital age has come with a plethora of promises, in transforming the way people are living in the present, from earlier decades. Despite having inequalities in digital-initiated “equality,” developing education systems throughout the world are getting into touch with digital technology. Bangladesh, as a developing country with increased economic solvency, is enduring a metamorphosis in academic culture, more precisely in teaching and learning. The previous practice of pedagogues and learners are challenged by new age communication and the education system based on digital technology. This chapter investigates the essential characteristics of the transformation of teaching and learning in Bangladesh. It also examines the correlation with digital technology and academic factors in the contemporary education system and gives recommendations to overcome the crises still dwelling within the education framework.
