digital transformation, sustainable development goals, educational transformation model, agile approachAbstract
A new model for digital transformation of education to achieve sustainable development goals is proposed. It takes into account the input of stakeholder communities and an assessment of the current state of transformation, enabling the parallel development of tasks and assessment of the current state of transformation. This enables the parallel development of tasks assigned to different stages, takes into account changes in technology and the regulatory framework, and plans training for participants in transformation processes, particularly based on the examples and results of other models. The elements that distinguish education for sustainable development from other models are identified. The model is built taking into account the dynamics of the environment in which change occurs and the network (decentralized) connections between participants. Furthermore, the model demonstrates the principles of education for sustainable development in action — collaboration in the development of solutions and the implementation of technologies, a balance between local innovation implementation plans and centrally supported strategic directions.
