What Is The Impact of Disruptive Innovative Transformation? In Economic Education

Abstract

Disruptive Innovative Transformation (DIT) is reshaping economic education by integrating technological advancements and new pedagogical models. This study examines the impact of DIT on economic literacy and workforce preparedness, emphasizing the shift from traditional teaching methods to digital learning ecosystems. The research adopts a qualitative approach, analysing previous studies and literature on digital transformation in education. Findings indicate that digital platforms, MOOCs and personalized driven learning, enhance accessibility and engagement. However, challenges remain, including digital inequality and the need for teacher training. The study suggests that integrating innovative economic education strategies, supported by policy reforms and industry collaboration, can enhance students’ adaptability to evolving economic landscapes. The implications highlight the necessity for a flexible curriculum that aligns with technological and economic shifts.
