Taking Initiative in Digital Education
In the age of digital technology and AI, taking initiative is becoming a central issue in learning, revealing a paradox: digital technology can both restrict and liberate.
Between the fear of error and the desire for autonomy, rethinking education means embracing risk and valuing the learner's audacity.
The Paradox of Digital Technology
In contemporary training, saturated with interfaces, platforms, and algorithms, the question of taking initiative occupies a paradoxical position.
- Institutional discourse celebrates the learner's autonomy and capacity to "become the actor" of their learning.
- Practices often remain constrained, marked out by evaluative frameworks, reference systems, and technical systems that leave little room for the unexpected.
Digital technology, which is supposed to liberate, sometimes imprisons.
