Use of New Technologies in Primary Education

The integration of new technologies in primary education has revolutionized traditional learning methods, enhancing student engagement, comprehension, and skill development. This study explores the impact of digital tools, including augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), coding platforms, collaborative digital applications, and STEM-based robotics, on young learners. By incorporating digital literacy and internet safety modules, students develop responsible online behaviors while gaining foundational technology skills. Interactive learning with AR and VR enables immersive experiences that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical understanding. Coding and computational thinking activities introduce students to programming concepts, fostering logical reasoning, problem-solving, and creativity. Collaborative learning and digital creativity encourage teamwork and communication skills through digital platforms that allow for shared content creation and interactive discussions. STEM and robotics-based learning provide hands-on experimentation, allowing students to engage with real-world problem-solving scenarios that reinforce scientific and engineering principles. The findings highlight the importance of integrating technology in primary education to equip students with essential 21st-century skills, preparing them for a rapidly evolving digital landscape. Ultimately, technology-enhanced learning promotes active participation, critical thinking, and innovation, fostering a more inclusive and dynamic educational environment.
