Preferences and Implications of Global Policies for Educational Digitization
Digital transformation has become an important direction of global education transformation.Utilizing Nvivo12 software,this study conducts a comprehensive coding and analysis of 65 domestic and 36 international policy documents related to educational digitization,focusing on two critical dimensions:policy themes and policy tools.The findings reveal significant disparities in policy themes between domestic and international contexts,attributed to varying stages of development and educational equity philosophies.In China,a notable emphasis is placed on the quality and inclusivity of digitization,while pilot reforms represent a distinctive governance approach.Additionally,there is a burgeoning consensus on the importance of AI applications and digital literacy across borders.Capacity-building tools are prevalent in both national and international policy frameworks,yet the deployment of directive,incentive,advocacy,and learning tools is influenced by cultural systems and economic prosperity.It is suggested that China enhance the formulation of targeted short-term plans and cohesive guidelines for educational digitization,transitioning from an initial reliance on directive tools to a more balanced mix of incentive and advocacy tools as the digitization process matures.
