Active Learning Processes for Modern Teachers based on the Digital Citizenship Concept: The Key to Preparing for the Future World

Abstract

Modern education must adapt to rapidly changing societal needs driven by digital technology advances, climate change, and other economic and social challenges. Proactive teaching strategies of today’s educators, guided by the digital citizenship concept of Neo Coaching, are designed to cultivate essential skills and attributes in youth, enabling them to thrive in an ever-evolving global environment. Neo Coaching includes steps that actively involve students, comprising three principles: active learning, digital skills and decision making, and real-world connections. Four key components are learner-centered activity design; technological support for learning; development of analytical and ethical decision-making skills; and holistic assessment. This approach supports engaged learning, ethical use of technology, and development of good digital citizenship, preparing students to acquire knowledge and effectively apply it in future real-life professional contexts.
