This article explores the theoretical and practical aspects of integrating digital technologies into the modern educational process. The study emphasizes the significance of digital transformation in education, focusing on how innovative tools enhance teaching efficiency, student engagement, and overall learning outcomes. Through a systematic review of scientific literature and pedagogical practices, the research identifies the main challenges teachers face when implementing digital tools - such as lack of digital competence, inadequate infrastructure, and resistance to innovation. Methodologically, the article is based on comparative and analytical approaches, drawing from global best practices and the educational context of Uzbekistan. The results highlight that successful digital integration requires not only technological readiness but also continuous professional development and the cultivation of teachers’ innovative competence. The study concludes with recommendations for improving the digital pedagogy framework and fostering sustainable innovation in education.
