20.500.12556/DKUM-94894 Digitalization of higher education students’ perspectives This study examines the use of digitalized educational solutions among students in higher education institutions (HEIs). Drawing upon theories of technology, digitalization, and education, we analyze the suitability of different digitalization solutions for students in HEIs. Educational organizations that apply different digitalized technologies provide customizable platforms for authoring and disseminating multimedia-rich e-education and smart education. However, pedagogical practices indicate several gaps between the level of HEI digitalization achieved and its suitability for HEI participants. Thus, we analyze the state of various digitalized technologies in HEIs and their suitability for meeting students’ expectations. The results of our research show that students most highly rate modern educational methods such as practical learning supported by access to digitized materials via websites, social networks, and smartphones while assigning a lower rating to the use of classic education, supported by digital textbooks and traditional technologies such as Skype, Zoom, podcasts, and online videos. This study has several theoretical implications, among which is the need to further develop highly digitized materials and purpose-designed digitized solutions for individual areas and specific educational purposes. The practical implications indicate the need to expand the use of website networks, smartphones, and smart table solutions in modern educational practices in HEIs. digitalization education educational technologies higher education institutions students digitalizacija izobraževanje izobraževalne tehnologije visokošolske ustanove študenti true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2025-08-29 03:32:11 2025-08-29 07:35:40 2025-08-30 03:37:21 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 1-20 7 [article no.] 847 15 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno apc 2025-05-04 2025-06-29 2025-07-02 378.016-057.875:004.9 241265667 10.3390/educsci15070847 2227-7102 https://www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/15/7/847 1 ff4e8f24-8477-11f0-9b5d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196916 RAZ_Potocan_Vojko_2025.pdf RAZ_Potocan_Vojko_2025.pdf 1 FAE2CE013B5CA35EEC1A69F94884E6BF deb237de3a3d34050da3c7e88ac46e65880b6aef973f90727baeb0255912bdbc d8868122-8499-11f0-9b5d-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196943 Ekonomsko-poslovna fakulteta Fakulteta za logistiko 0 0 0
