community is put forth as a pragmatic theme for
exploration (Wacnag Lidawan & Reyes Chua, 2018).
Widely acknowledged pedagogical paradigms changed
over time. Established principia about theoretical
instructions
fluctuated
in
response
to
the
revolutionized dissemination of other customs,
traditions, and culture. Historical inquiry into pedagogy
unveils trends of concurrent changes in learning
methodologies and academic theories. Over the
several centuries, patterns of transformations share
parallels and disparity in diverse settings across
territories and major instauration. In scholarly
contemplations, pedagogical-epitomized documents
from various periods connote recurring themes.
Noteworthy inquiries transcend educational milieu,
removals long before distinctive academic institutions
established modern categorizations.
Historical Perspectives on Teaching Theories
Historically teaching theories have moved from a
didactic view, teaching everything the day it must be
learnt, to the current constructivist view, where
learning is facilitated and students learn to use
information. These changes have been paralleled by
societal changes. In primitive societies, teaching was
by the elders. The advent of reading and writing
facilitated centralised teaching and an education
industry grew, with teachers having the information.
Apprenticeships supplemented formal teaching.
Industrialisation increased the need for standardised
knowledge and, as vast amounts of it had to be stored
in the brain, the didactic view prevailed. In the 20th
century, as computers became a low-cost information
storage option, the current views emerged. A didactic
view persists in many aspects of society. (Albion, 2015).
A societal view of the learning process gives some
explanations to well-known results in the literature,
such as that deep learners achieve better marks
because teachers reward them for understanding or
that students from collectivist societies hold a
reproduction view of learning.
A better understanding of the societal view of learning
should facilitate the design of new learning scenarios
and
technology-enhanced
language
learning
applications. The exploration of generalisation to the
traditional e-learning paradigm is one of the areas of
future work. Culturally situated theory describes
learning, and therefore teaching, as context-based
activities. The internationalization of universities
favours in-depth learning rather than factual teaching.
It analyses answers to two questions asked to
university students in five different countries. Firstly, it
was asked how they learnt better and secondly for
what reason. Statistical analysis of the answers
highlighted a correlation between the way the
students answer the first question and the way they
answer the second one. The learning-teaching
paradigm of the respondents is reviewed and
questioned in the light of the analysed results. Given a
didactic view of learning, the exploitation of
information and of the knowledge that makes it

meaningful are passed to a human educational
element. In the extreme didactic scenario, learning is
impossible without the presence of the teaching
figure. (Drumm, 2019). The societal theory frame
provided reveals the teaching theory described.
Traditional Teaching Theories
Digital pedagogy can be defined as the use, adaptation
or evolution of various methods, strategies or
practices employed in teaching, often in response to
application of new media and ICTs in the learning
environment. Society and technology are continually
evolving, inevitably presenting challenges and
opportunities for educators. Traditional concerns
abound in education: how best to facilitate, manage
and assess learning, so as to enable learners to meet
subject-specific objectives as well as develop
transferable skills and resources that may complement
or lead to further opportunities. Since the turn of the
21st century, following the advent of the digital,
entrepreneurial, and the impact of globalised
economies, the educational landscape has undergone
some significant and rapid permutations. A disconnect
may be suspected between the evolved practices in
the field and theoretical paradigms still being
advocated in ‘how
-
to guide’ popular educational
literature for staff.
Teaching is a historically founded profession, and
traditional teaching theories have been well
entrenched in education for hundreds of years.
Teacher-centered instructional mode, direct teaching
mode, Summative assessment, behaviourism, and
common sense are part of these. In Chinese culture,
rote memorization and uniform answer to questions
are often regarded as favourable ways of learning, and
these ways of learning are still used currently. These
traditional teaching theories and practices are widely
acknowledged in teaching training, extra-curricular
work, also in other aspects of the education
profession. The conceptions of traditional teaching
theories, practices, and benefits in pedagogy have
been deeply ingrained and difficult to challenge
(Drumm, 2019). Traditional teaching theories state that
the learner has already accumulated the knowledge
necessary to fulfil the objectives, and that the
knowledge-poor learner is not going to make the best
use of instruction. Traditional teaching theory is
predominantly passive in relation to learning and likes
to give formal definitions of processes. Potential
benefits in using traditional teaching methods may
include that they can be seen as promoting accuracy,
consistency and compatibility of learning, and also that
uniform treatment of all learners dictates a semblance
of fairness. Ensuring learners are well prepared
enhances the speed and accuracy of decision-making
without overloading the working memory. However,
these theories may not cater for the well-documented
diversity of aptitudes, experience and preferred modes
of learning that learners demonstrate.

Digital pedagogy is a shift of the teaching principles
from traditional teaching theories to the effect of the
advancements in the technology era. The rapid
progress and advances in the era of the technology
have shifted and tender the move and finding in many
sectors, including the sector of education. The
influence of the technology now and then dedicates
the reshaping of the educational practices which
incidentally generates the question and curiosity of
how the digital technology changes the educational
practices and what practices do digital pedagogies
suggest with the availability of the technology
nowadays? The move of "chalk and talk" pedagogy has
gradually become an antediluvian practice. The old
practices of hand-written tasks of literacy are now no
longer hive-off. Learning in classroom no longer a
changeless teacher-focused manner; instead, it turns
to more interactive and cross-interactive engagement
between students. The learning and engagement act
has now changed into an interplay engagement
learning. Hence, it is the time to dictate the emergence
of the digital pedagogy and to reflect on how far digital
can create the new space of educational practices.
Digital pedagogy itself can be said as the teaching
pedagogy that is through the use of the advancing up-
to-date technological devices. There are a few
principles of teaching pedagogy catering through the
advent of digital technology. Firstly, the upholding of
more collaboration; secondly, the contentment of the
cross-interactive engagement; fourth, the blossoming
of engagement pedagogy or edutainment; fifthly, the
improvement of feedback policy; sixthly, the
personalized learning; and seventh, the enhancement
of the learner-technology interplay engagement
(Choon Meng, 2017). The most accustomed principles
of the digital pedagogy are the collaboration
engagement, the cross-interactive engagement, and
the engagement pedagogy. The norm of assigned task
in a form of cooperative grouping is often designated
through the school load. With regard to the digital
pedagogy, the availability of the digital devices has
eased the use of technological devices which can help
in the interplay engagement in conjunction with the
interactivity of Internet (Wacnag Lidawan & Reyes
Chua, 2018).
Key Concepts in Digital Pedagogy
This section starts by focusing on the fundamental
concepts of digital pedagogy. It then examines two
methods of teaching that are currently being adopted
in educational institutions worldwide: blended learning
and the flipped classroom teaching model.
Importantly, the implications of both approaches for
student participation and teacher identity are
discussed.
The first term that must be addressed is digital
pedagogy. In the 21st century, digital learning is closely
related to how educators prepare their teaching
materials and how they choose to engage with their
learners. Defining digital learning or digital pedagogy
purely in terms of technology, however, could risk

overlooking more socio-cultural or more theoretically
informed engagement with content, peers, and
educators. In practice, digital learning and digital
pedagogy have evolved into the multitude of new
learning theories and teaching practices that reflect
the complexity of digital technologies and networks.
As a result, many scholarly works in the field have put
forward different concepts and ideas, such as
networked learning, online learning, connected
learning, and open learning (Meier, 2016). Meanwhile,
digital pedagogy is more interested in exploring the
meanings and practices that underlie the relationship
between digitality and pedagogy. As these key
concepts in digital pedagogy, the text emphasizes
digital collaboration, new literacy, netiquette, and
critical digital pedagogy. In discussion, the section
extends to two current teaching methodologies
debated in digital learning: blended learning and the
flipped classroom model (Zdravev et al., 2017).
Blended learning is one of the most popular and
successful online and offline teaching methods in
digital learning settings. It integrates face-to-face
instruction with online learning and makes time
expansion possible. In preparation, learners have an
opportunity to study online resources prior to the
timeline of weekly face-to-face lecture, and education
is augmented by learning activities in the digital space.
In extension, of late BlinK’s approach to student
-
centered learning and practical orient-theory carousel
are supported. Blended learning provides a flexible
structure in which learners and educators interact
liberally, potentially increasing learner venturing and
reciprocation. Therefore, both learner participation
and teacher identity are considerably transformed.
Blended Learning
In higher education, blended learning (BL) is now
regarded as an essential pedagogy, moving away from
its traditional focus on new technologies as a
mechanism for the delivery of education at scale. This
commentary addresses two main issues: the
prevalence of uncritical consideration of BL with
regard to student and staff communication, and the
consequent failure to adopt appropriate pedagogies to
maximize the opportunity presented by new blended
formats. It is argued that student
–
staff communication
is an essential component in education, necessary for a
range of academic and welfare purposes; that this
communication assumes a specific character in a
technology-supported environment that provides
challenges for communication management; that
emerging blended pedagogy is at risk of obscuring the
responsibility of institutions to underwrite traditional
functions and interaction in strongly technology-
mediated environments; and that, despite this, there is
little evidence of a strategic response by universities or
further education institutions. The paper concludes by
proposing an enhanced role for course design
templates as a means of facilitating better practice (P.
Montgomery et al., 2015). Digital technologies have
become an important part of modern living. The use of

technology in the teaching and learning process has
made education functionalities expand. The extensive
use of web-based technologies has led to a growing
popularity and acceptance of blended learning. In the
higher education sector, there is an increasing
discourse about the necessity of different blended
learning formats within conventional studies. It is
generally agreed that the online technology used in the
course delivery needs to be integrated judiciously and
creatively to meet pedagogical goals and be supplied
with high quality course content. It is widely
acknowledged that in such formats, face-to-face
learning activities are maintained and enriched with an
extended variety of online learning facilities. The
pervasive expansion of the use of online technology
drives the need for learning organizations to explore
blended learning pedagogy more strategically. This
commentary addresses the degree to which blended
learning formats have not prompted corresponding
conversations on how to optimize the quality and
frequency of vital student and staff communication
activities. In fact, it is found that this discourse is almost
entirely absent from the public domain. Prior uptake of
appropriate pedagogies may well have optimized a
range of benefits associated with student

communication while avoiding some well-publicized
pitfalls of early adopters. This is all the more pressing
as there is a proliferation of cases, often
unprecedented in their scale, of universities rapidly
moving to adopt and expand the use of blended
learning formats in the context of massively
transforming shifts in higher education policy and
funding (Sidek et al., 2017).
Flipped Classroom
The flipped classroom model represents a significant
shift away from traditional pedagogical theory and
practice. Rather than teaching in a conventional
manner where instructional content is delivered in
class, students are first introduced to new learning
material through online lectures and readings.
Classroom time is then reserved for interactive
activities, allowing students to deepen their
understanding of the subject matter through
discussion and project work. One of the main benefits
of the flipped classroom model is that learners have
more control over the educational content and
process. By deciding when and where they review
lessons, students can engage with the material at their
own pace and better retain information. The flipped
classroom model can also personalize the learning
experience by providing additional resources and
tailored content for students who fall behind as well as
foster autonomy and self-motivation to learn.
However, this approach could also put many students
at risk of falling behind on curricular requirements if
they do not properly engage with the educational
materials before class time. The model also places a
higher level of responsibility on the student to learn
much of the new content on their own outside of class
time.

technological access among students across the
educational spectrum and not all students will be
prepared for the flipped classroom model. According
to the model, students spend the majority of their out-
of-class studies introducing themselves to the material
of the course
—
a paradigm shift from traditional
teachings, where students consume learning materials
under the supervision of the instructor. While many
academics advocate the pedagogical theory of the
flipped classroom model, there are no works that
investigate the Ancient Greek Philosophical Doubling
essay genre using the model. By investigating the use
of the ancient Greek philosophical essay genre in
Byzantine secondary educational texts of the
Comnenian era within the framework of the
pedagogical theory of the flipped classroom model,
there is an innovative approach towards an ancient
author’s text addressing this genre. A flipped
classroom explored on 8th-grade mathematics class
showed a meaningful continuous increase in academic
achievement from 2016 to 2019. Two flipped
mathematics classrooms on 11th-grade and 12th-grade
showed high academic achievement rates. A history
lesson in an 11th-grade classroom showed a high
achievement rate; translation of history into target
language and an effective inquiry-based learning
environment are suggested for success.
Impact of Digitalization on Teaching Theories
Advanced
technology
has
engendered
the
transformation of the traditional educational concept,
which stipulates a teacher-centered and linearly
improved instructional model for its aspiration to a
more sophisticated, nonlinear and personalized
educational strategy. Traditional, linear or direct
instruction appears to perform in the model of
information transfer, when the student, as an empty
calyx of knowledge, is supposed to ground knowledge
from an information source, which is the teacher
(Orosz et al., 2019). In advanced technological
environments, the student has the option to seek
information by suitable information devices, which
enables a considerable alteration of the traditional
teaching practices. Linearity is transmuted to a free
model analogous to the connective of the net, which is
totally characterized by large spatio-temporal
universality. Some nodes in the net tend to be more
relevant participants in the process, giving knowledge
as well as the option to focus on assimilating a more
comprehensive or complicated knowledge structure
(Male, 2016). On the other hand, participation
structures dynamic interrelations amongst nodes
establish an altering model of the net, protecting the
regionalized parallelism of interests. Meanwhile, the
prevalent nodes could broadcast their interpretation,
seeking an alteration of the discriminator interest.
Conclusively, the relevance of information sources is a
function of the spatio-temporal diffusion of interests
and the nodes conform to knowledge at both the level
of building and processing. In educational aspects, the
student discovers a desired knowledge level in the

connective net, recognizing the relevancy of
information sources and building a processing function
of intermediate databases sophisticated in the
informativity of sources. In connective environments,
the role of the computational terminals is not just using
as a passive device to ground knowledge, but as a
mean to pose and evaluate queries from sophisticated
information sources. Thus, the processing function
supplicates the basis for personalizing knowledge to
become available.

environments reveals the process relevance of the
model, since the pupils demonstrate a preference for
information discourses among students, with the

remains sophisticated in the familiarity of knowledge
on the subject matter. Teacher usually provides all
necessary assistance and choices to aid the student in
his/her individual progress. Analogous to a higher

thereby helping the student building a potential for
more sophisticated knowledge. Another appointment

Enhanced Student Engagement
Student engagement within educational settings has
been significantly enhanced through digitalization (M.
Aldhafeeri & A. Alotaibi, 2022). Many interactive digital
tools and platforms provide opportunities for students
to participate actively in the learning process. Students
are encouraged to engage further with gamification
platforms and multimedia resources and, therefore,
become more involved and proactive. Additionally,
collaborative activities are carried out online, where
students interact with others to accomplish particular
learning goals. Advances in digital pedagogy have led
to a participatory culture, where students do not
passively consume information but are engaged in self-
directed, playful and social activities. With the spread
of digitalization, technology is ubiquitously present in
people's daily lives. This environment can be leveraged
to create learning experiences 2.0. The learning
experience is re-designed to focus on interactivity,
connectivity, and immediate feedback. Enhanced
engagement is recognized as a substantial factor
related to improved learning in traditional and digital
education
systems.
Furthermore,
engagement
strategies are re-evaluated to take into account they
should be tailored towards the individual needs of
diverse learners and because other praiseworthy
practices have been dismissed. The most effective
engagement strategies are probably those that focus
on intrinsic motivation, such as the accomplishment of
explicit and personal goals. Although more research is
needed, the use of digital tools is likely to be beneficial

in this regard. Nonetheless, there are outstanding
issues that require further attention, such as the
management of screen time to prevent potential
negative side-effects, and the need to guarantee
interactions are meaningful and aligned with
outcomes.
Personalized Learning Experiences
In the 21st century, the digitized world changes not
only the way in which information is accessed,
processed and used, but also the role and relation of
people with information technologies. In educational
terms, since human cognition is deeply involved in
learning, learning has been significantly affected by
increasing digitalization (Ballard & Butler, 2011). Recent
technological advancements have also reactivated
ongoing discussions on the future predictions and
trends in digital learning. In this regard, the evolution
of AI, increased attention to social and emotional
learning, and the setup of learning as play may
profoundly change the context of education.
In this context, learning theorists and educators have
developed several new pedagogical approaches and
instructional designs to account for future challenges.
'Personalized learning' has become one of the most
prevalent outcomes, as indicated in a recent
whitepaper, linked to naturally embed personalization
in learning, by enabling children to progress at their
own pace, typically through effective deployment of
digital technology. Here, with a focus on the 21st
century, the evolving role of models, theories,
pedagogical strategies, and instructional designs for
facilitating 21st century skills in the scope of emerging
digital solutions and technology-enhanced learning
(TEL) aspects of preschool, primary, secondary,
vocational, and higher educational settings, and
tertiary/university educational context, respectively,
are elaborated (Bucchiarone et al., 2022).
Future Directions and Implications
During the past couple of decades, digital technologies
have played significant roles not only in individual lives,
but also in societies and organizations locally and
globally (Male, 2016). Being the number of the digital
tools and formats that have integrated into disciplines
and units, each teaching theory has consequently been
co-evolved (Wacnag Lidawan & Reyes Chua, 2018).
Around halfway through the 21st century, digital
technologies became largely integrated into teaching
theories. Along with their development, digital
technologies have incited the evolution of more
theories on and about teaching. The forms and formats
of teaching are considered to be quite different from
what they were like. Digital technologies have always
been the chance of shaping pedagogy. With their
appearance and development, computer technologies
in the late 20th century have aroused expectations of
revolutionizing many aspects of human societies
including lifestyles, economies, enterprises, services,
communication and the like.
The same is true of the revolution of teaching in which
the expectations have been fulfilled. There have been

numerous impacts on teaching and learning practices
with the introduction of computers or digital
technologies. It is undoubted that new opportunities
of engaging in learning and teaching practices have
opened up which have not been seen before.
Moreover, this new medium of electronic education
has influenced the quality and quantity of
communication and collaboration among learners,
teachers and learning materials. Discussion nowadays
can
be
conducted
both
synchronically
and
asynchronously. Lectures, practical work, exercises,
assignments and the like including multimedia-based
teaching materials can be provided on-line. Patterns of
learning have been largely changed and learners can
explore knowledge and develop understanding
beyond constraints of time and space.
