What is Technological Transformation

The chapter explores the evolution of higher education in the social sciences, tracking its transition from traditional classroom settings to artificial intelligence (AI)-driven learning environments that define the contemporary educational landscape. Historically, social science education relied on traditional pedagogical methods. While these methods served as effective means of disseminating knowledge, they also presented limitations. The advent of technology, particularly the internet and learning management systems (LMS), began to supplement these traditional approaches, paving the way for a gradual shift. The rise of artificial intelligence marked a pivotal moment in this transformation. AI, encompassing machine learning, natural language processing, and data analytics, revolutionized social science education by enabling personalized learning experiences. This chapter examines the contemporary landscape of AI-driven learning environments in social science education. While this technological evolution offers exciting possibilities, it raises challenges and ethical considerations.
