Introduction to digital pedagogy : a proposed framework for design and enactment

The discussion on the use of technology in education remains contentious even after decades of efforts in this area. One of the main challenges is digital pedagogy, which refers to the pedagogical applications of digital technologies. In this special issue, we highlighted the agentic actions of teachers that can be the catalysts of change in designing and enacting digital pedagogies in various contexts. We also contributed to this effort by proposing a digital pedagogy framework for the design and enactment of using technology in teaching and learning. This framework aims to bring researchers' and educators' attention to factors that could affect the design of technology integra tion into classrooms, including teacher pedagogical orientation, attitudes towards and competency of using educational technology, and identification of underpinning pedagogical theories or principles. It also examines the use of TPACK to design technology-mediated learning environments. The preparation of the enactment of the design can also be facilitated by identifying the potential observable students' behaviours and other evidence for the achievement of intended outcomes. By bringing forth pedagogic expertise from various countries and contexts, we hope this special issue can support researchers and educators in enhancing learning mediated by a wide range of digital technologies.
