World Yearbook of Education 2024

Providing a comprehensive, global overview of the digitalisation of education, the World Yearbook of Education 2024 examines the ways advanced digital technologies are transforming educational practices, institutions and policy processes.

Establishing a critical research agenda for analysing the digitalisation of education, the carefully selected chapters in this collection interrogate the current impacts of new digital technologies, emerging controversies over emerging data practices and future implications of algorithmic systems, automated decision-making and AI in education. Organised into four sections, the contributions in the collection examine the following:

• The historical, scientific and technical foundations of contemporary digitalisation in education

• The political and economic dynamics that underpin the education technology industry and new platform models of education

• How algorithms, automation and AI support new modes of data-driven governance and control of education systems

• Controversies over the inequitable effects of digitalisation in education, and proposals for data justice, ethics and regulation

This resource is ideal reading for researchers, students, educational practitioners and policy officials interested in understanding the future of digital technologies in education.
