In an era dominated by digital applications and AI, particularly generative AI, it has become essential to reshape the educational process to foster a shift toward learning that enhances innovation and creativity. This transformation is expected to empower students with life skills that promote innovation and knowledge production. With the rapid digital transformation, there is an increasing need to keep pace with developments in education, innovation, entrepreneurship, and 21st-century skills within the accelerating revolution of information and communication technology. In this context, Palestine Ahliya University is organizing its Second International Educational Conference: "Education for Innovation in the Digital Age: Enhancing a Culture of Knowledge Production." This conference aims to bring together leading educational thinkers, academics, researchers, educators, and policymakers to develop a comprehensive vision for education that fosters innovation and knowledge production in the digital age.
Emphasizing the importance of the intersection between effective education, innovation, and digital transformation in shaping the future of knowledge production has become an urgent necessity in our time. This requires reshaping the educational process to align with the rapid advancements in curricula, modern teaching methods, and educational technology. The goal is to cultivate a generation that is innovative and actively contributes to knowledge production rather than merely consuming it.
The conference focuses on developing educational frameworks that foster creativity, critical thinking, and innovation through the integration of digital technologies. It also aims to highlight the role of individuals, educational institutions, and decision-makers in empowering teachers and learners with the digital and educational skills necessary to build a generation that is innovative, a producer of knowledge, aware, independent, and well-equipped with science and knowledge.
The conference addresses several themes, including the integration of digital applications, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality in teaching and learning. It focuses on mechanisms for employing these applications to achieve tangible learning outcomes that reflect contemporary skills in practice. The conference provides a platform for exchanging innovative ideas and practices, as well as for collaborating on actionable strategies to build educational systems that support sustainable development, innovation, and knowledge production. Additionally, it explores practical applications that meet the demands of global competitiveness and contribute to achieving the sustainable development goals, positively impacting both academic and professional fields.
