THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN HUMANITIES EDUCATON AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT TRENDS

Humanities education is a fundamental field that shapes an individual’s spiritual, cultural, and moral values. In the era of globalization and digital transformation, this field is undergoing significant changes, enriched by innovative technologies and new teaching approaches. As a teacher, I observe that modern technologies not only make lessons more engaging but also enhance students’ critical thinking and independent learning skills.Interactive learning platforms, digital libraries, virtual tours, multimedia tools, and artificial intelligence are increasingly integrated into humanities education. For instance, in literature classes, students can go beyond traditional reading by analyzing texts through digital tools, participating in discussions, and creating their own interpretations. This approach fosters creativity, analytical thinking, and communication skills. At the same time, the role of the teacher is evolving. The teacher becomes a mentor, facilitator, and motivator rather than just a source of information.Technology supports teachers by making the educational process more efficient, accessible, and engaging.
