Implementation of digital education in primary school from an interdisciplinary perspective

The integration of digital education in primary school represents both a challenge and a strategic opportunity for developing the essential competences of 21stcentury learners. In the context of recent curricular reforms, the inclusion of digital education in primary schooling involves not only introducing new content but also reconfiguring teaching, learning, and assessment models. This article analyses the theoretical and curricular foundations of digital education as a transversal domain, highlighting opportunities for its integration into existing subjects, elective courses, and interdisciplinary activities. The approaches to implementing digital education from an interdisciplinary perspective are anchored in European and national educational policies, recent curricular models, and pedagogical experiences from Romania, Estonia, and Finland. The paper proposes a model of integrated curricular design aimed at developing digital competence as an essential dimension of the student’s graduate profile. It also outlines the theoretical premises of digital education, the teacher’s role in the digital transformation process, and examples of interdisciplinary learning activities that employ digital tools and resources. The proposed methodological framework for integrating digital education in primary school is flexible and based on collaboration, creativity, and reflective learning.
