Vol. 6 No. 1 (2026): Perspectives, approaches, and reflections on digital educational practice

The digital transformation of education has moved beyond the mere adoption of technological tools, evolving into a complex ecosystem that fundamentally redefines the core of teaching and learning. In this special issue of the YUYAY Scientific Journal, titled "Perspectivas, abordagens e reflexões sobre a prática educacional digital," we open a multidisciplinary space for dialogue that critically analyzes the profound intersection between pedagogical innovation and emerging technologies.

As guest coordinator from the Universidad de Guadalajara, I am deeply proud to present the research community with a carefully curated selection of papers addressing how contemporary virtual environments demand new teaching competencies and methodologies. Today more than ever, within instructional design, it is vital to pay close attention to how the educator aligns the sessions with the learning outcomes (LO), contents, and bibliography of the academic syllabus, ensuring that technology always acts as a facilitating bridge rather than an obstacle or an end in itself.

This special issue also reflects on the ethical integration of artificial intelligence, the advanced design of modern learning ecosystems, and didactic strategies that respond directly to the demands of a highly globalized world. Through empirical studies and essays of high scientific rigor, it is demonstrated that successful digital educational practice requires solid pedagogical foundations. We invite our readers to immerse themselves in these pages, hoping that the shared findings will inspire new pathways to continuously strengthen the quality and equity of higher education.
