Literature Review

The integration of disruptive technologies into the realms of education and workforce development marks a pivotal juncture in the evolution of traditional practices. The advent of transformative waves, propelled by these technological interventions, has heralded a paradigm shift in how individuals acquire knowledge, skills, and navigate their professional trajectories. This comprehensive literature review delves into the multifaceted impact of disruptive technologies on education and workforce development, examining key themes across a spectrum of scholarly works.

In recent years, technological advancements have permeated every facet of contemporary society, and the domains of education and workforce development are no exceptions. The amalgamation of digital innovations, AI, and other disruptive technologies has not only altered the landscape of traditional educational practices but has also redefined the dynamics of the modern workforce. As we stand at the intersection of the digital age and the pursuit of knowledge and skills, understanding the profound implications of these transformative waves becomes imperative.

A vital aspect of this examination lies in recognizing the transformative potential embedded within disruptive technologies. Agrawal's (2021) exploration of the role of technology in education provides insights into the transformative potential that technology carries. The study elucidates the multifaceted ways in which technology has the capacity to reshape educational landscapes, influencing pedagogical approaches, and altering the dynamics of student engagement. Such transformations extend beyond the classroom, resonating deeply in the corridors of workforce development.
