However, be it opportunity or hype, digital transformation impacts every part of our human life, where we especially see and experience it in numerous areas of social domains , including education. Based on these arguments, this paper examines the research that has been conducted on digital transformation from the perspective of education by applying data mining and analytics approaches. Accordingly, in the examination of research papers on digital transformation, five emerging broad themes were identified: (1) strategies and technologies as pillars of digital transformation in social development,(2) digital transformation as a vision that goes beyond mere adaptation of technology, (3) innovative technologies as change agents of digital transformation,(4) the COVID-19 pandemic as a catalyst for digital transformation, and (5) confusion in terminology-digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation. This paper argues that by ignoring the social aspects and not positioning humans at the center of digital transformation and failing to understand the philosophy, vision and mission that lies behind it, we will be at risk of writing failure stories rather than success stories.  \nKeywords: digital transformation, technology adaptation, innovative digital technologies, hard and soft technologies, education.  \nIntroduction: In the Realm of 1s, 0s, and Digital Technologies  \nTechnology is the most useful servant but a dangerous master. -Christian Lous Lange  \nSimply defined, digital transformation is a process that involves the use of 1s and 0s to synthesize and give meaning to a wide range of services in the current digitally intensive era. In today’s world, the raw material is data, and we develop strategies and processes to benefit from the synthetic combination of 1s and 0s. Within this context, data is mined, gathered, and converted into information by contextualizing it, and knowledge is gained through the experience of understanding and utilizing this information. Knowledge transforms into wisdom through meaning-making, which is the ultimate level of the transformation. Though digital data is synthetic, the final form of the data, that is wisdom, is nested organically and can be observed in our behaviors and understood through our discourses.  \n“Knowledge is not information, it’s transformation.”—Rajneesh  \nA look at recent history reveals that many of the developments we have witnessed point to the need for transformation. For instance, according to the concept of the knowledge doubling curve (Fuller, 1982), the accumulation of knowledge is doubling at an increasing rate and, in line with this argument, the concept of the half-life of knowledge (Machlup, 1962) suggests that the shelf life of the most up-to-date knowledge is shortening at the same rate. In discussing the time when knowledge started to become a valuable asset (Büyük and Bozkurt, 2017), Toffler (1980) highlights that the Third Wave refers to societies where power distribution is determined by possessing and managing knowledge. That being said, online networks function like a global brain (O’Reilly, 2005), where data are created collectively and take shape on the journey to information, knowledge, and wisdom.  \nDigital Transformation: A Journey to becoming a Butterfly  \n“When digital transformation is done right, it’s like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, but when done wrong, all you have is a really fast caterpillar.”— George Westerman  \nJust like the process governing the change of a caterpillar into a butterfly, digital transformation is a dynamic, constant process (Teichert, 2019), which makes it difficult to reach consensus on how to define it (Be","cbCaigN1Ggz0NOFi","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigN1Ggz0NOFi","pdf",331675,"English","# Introduction\n## In the Realm of 1s, 0s, and Digital Technologies\n# Digital Transformation as a Framing Metaphor\n## A Journey to becoming a Butterfly\n# Methodology","[{\"question\":\"What is the paper’s main focus regarding digital transformation?\",\"answer\":\"It examines digital transformation research from the perspective of education, using data mining and analytics to identify emerging themes and trends.\"},{\"question\":\"Which five broad themes does the paper identify in digital transformation research?\",\"answer\":\"The paper identifies: (1) strategies and technologies as pillars, (2) transformation as a vision beyond simple adaptation, (3) innovative technologies as change agents, (4) COVID-19 as a catalyst, and (5) confusion in terminology among digitization, digitalization, and digital transformation.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the paper caution against ignoring social aspects of digital transformation?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that failing to position humans at the center and misunderstanding the underlying philosophy, vision, and mission increases the risk of producing failure stories instead of success stories.\"}]","Digital Transformation and the Way We (Mis)Interpret Technology - Digital Transformation Paper | PDF",1792076604]
