Abstract

This study examined the pros and cons of revitalizing education through digitalization. This work aimed at establishing the essence of the innovative idea of revitalizing education through digitalization by stipulating both its benefits and its detriments. This aim was made possible through the review of four (4) concepts to support the purpose of this study. The concepts reviewed brought about the interconnection between several intervening variables that help to understand the relationship between the main variables of the topic to ascertain the relationship as well as necessary requirements and impediments towards achieving it fully. It was found out that revitalizing education is easily made possible via digitalization, which has been made evident in some educational institutions in the society. It was concluded that the innovative idea of revitalizing education through digitalization concepts is a very much welcomed idea with much consideration towards the benefits that are attached to it but it has not been fully actualized based on some misappropriation constraints by respective concerned bodies for the development of educational system in the society. It was then recommended that educational instructors should create avenues by which digital technologies can be appropriately utilized for the sole purpose of achieving efficient and effective educational processes. It was also recommended that government and other concerned bodies should also create avenues for workshop trainings on digitalizing education towards equipping educational instructors on its concepts and their implementation.
