The rapid digitalization of society has profoundly impacted educational systems, reshaping both teaching methodologies and learning experiences. This study investigates the role of digital transformation in pedagogy, focusing on its opportunities and challenges. A literature review and survey of 100 teachers revealed that digital tools enhance accessibility, personalization, and student engagement. However, barriers such as unequal access, insufficient training, and overreliance on technology remain significant. The findings suggest that balanced integration of digital resources, combined with strong pedagogical strategies, is necessary to achieve sustainable educational progress.References
