Xác định bối cảnh học tập: Nghiên cứu về ảnh hưởng của chuyển đổi kỹ thuật số với việc học tập suốt đời trong giáo dục mở

The contemporary educational landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, significantly shaped by the widespread integration of digital technologies. This shift has catalyzed the emergence of open education, an adaptive and inclusive learning paradigm that transcends traditional boundaries of time, place, and accessibility. Central to this evolution is the concept of lifelong learning, which underscores the continuous acquisition of knowledge, skills, and competencies throughout an individual's life. As the digital revolution progresses, it becomes imperative to critically examine how these technological advancements are reconfiguring the learning environment and profoundly impacting lifelong learning within the context of open education. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of these dynamics, highlighting both challenges and opportunities.

Policymakers, educational administrators, researchers in digital education and lifelong learning, practitioners in open education, and individuals interested in the socio-economic impacts of technology on education in Vietnam.

This academic paper meticulously investigates the multifaceted impact of digital transformation on lifelong learning within the framework of open education in Vietnam. It systematically identifies key challenges hindering learners' access to and utilization of digital resources, including inadequate infrastructure, prevalent digital literacy gaps, language barriers, the high cost of devices and data, and limited public awareness. To address these obstacles, the study proposes strategic interventions such as enhancing broadband infrastructure, implementing comprehensive digital literacy training programs, localizing digital content, providing subsidized access to devices and data, and fostering public-private partnerships. The research underscores the critical importance of a nuanced approach, advocating for "timely slowing down" to fully grasp the complex implications of rapid technological change and emphasizing the need for policy frameworks that are adaptable across social, technological, and economic dimensions. Furthermore, the paper delves into the significant socio-economic implications of this digital transformation for lifelong learners in Vietnam, particularly concerning employability and social mobility. It highlights how improved access to digital resources and online learning opportunities can empower individuals with in-demand skills, thereby enhancing their job prospects and reducing skill gaps. The study also explores the role of open education in fostering entrepreneurship by providing aspiring individuals with valuable learning materials and networking avenues, irrespective of their socio-economic background. Ultimately, the research posits that digital transformation has the potential to democratize access to education, mitigate economic disparities, and significantly boost social mobility, leading to improved livelihoods and overall quality of life for diverse segments of the Vietnamese population.
