Development, Innovation, and Technology Education in the Digital Era
Keywords:
Technological development, Technological innovation, Technology education, Digital technological acceleration, Generative AI in education, Learning neuroscienceAbstract
This article examines the relationships between development, innovation, and technology education in the digital age. It highlights the historical importance of technological development, establishes the connections between technique and technology, and describes the phenomenon of technological acceleration characteristic of contemporary society. The role of sciences, engineering, and technology as disciplines contributing to the development and innovation of new technologies is explored. A conceptual model of technological development is proposed, identifying and relating the processes used by engineering and technology to create new technological products and apply them to solving engineering problems. Regarding technological innovation, its relationship with technological development is analyzed, and the stages followed to innovate and develop novel technological products and services are described. Finally, the challenges that technological acceleration imposes on formal education are examined, and several strategies are established to help resolve the misalignment between technology and education and to improve technological teaching and learning processes. These strategies involve the application of techniques from generative artificial intelligence and the neuroscience of learning.
