Abstract

This paper explores the necessity for an operational typology of blended learning models in science education, emphasizing the significant role of the digital dimension in the traditional didactic triangle of learner, teacher, and curriculum. We propose the Framework for Primary Science Curriculum in the Digital Age, which considers existing student digital experiences in STEM and the necessities of the digital age. Further, we approach the Framework for Primary Science Curriculum in the Digital Age from student and teacher perspective, by illustrating aspects that become more important than others in student learning and also by an operational typology of blended learning models which can assist teachers. Throughout the paper, we discuss the potential influence of generative artificial intelligence solutions on digital transformation in education, highlighting the need for further research in this area. Overall, this paper provides insights into the complex process of digital transformation in education and offers key components for the advancement of science teaching and learning in the digital age.
