INRODUCTION: In recent years, the rapid development of digital technologies in the field of education is recognized as one of the most significant changes in human history. Digital transformation has not only impacted the economy and industry but has also taken on a crucial role in educational processes, leading to the formation of a new concept—digital pedagogy. This concept aims to improve the quality of education by integrating educational content, forms, methodologies, and toolswith modern technologies. [Yunusova, 2022]. Today, educational institutions are striving to adapt traditional learning models to modern demands through artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), digital platforms, educational software, and remote and hybrid learning systems. [Toshpulatov, 2021]. Reports by the World Bank, UNESCO, and other international organizations for 2023–2024 highlight the importance of digital tools in improving education quality, inclusiveness, and studentengagement [UNESCO, 2023] Therefore, digital pedagogy is not only a technological innovation but also a didactic and methodological renewal. The Presidential Decree No. PF-60 dated January 28, 2022, on the “Development Strategy of New Uzbekistan for 2022–2026” also identifies the development of digital education as a key priority. This calls for scientific and practical exploration of the modernization of the education system, identification of the role of digital technologies in the learning process, and evaluation oftheireffectiveness. Hence, this article is dedicated to analyzing the concept and methodology of digital pedagogy as a new stage of modern education, its role in improving the learning process, and its effectiveness through digital tools. Foreign and local experiences are also considered to examinethe advantages andchallenges ofdigital pedagogy.
