Abstract

As educational systems adapt to technological change, digital resources are progressing. At the heart of it all is a personalized education. The rapid expansion of information and the introduction of communication technologies have modified education, bringing both opportunities and difficulties. Standard, teacher-centered models have been superseded by student-centered approaches that emphasize autonomy, flexibility, and diversity. In China, initiatives like the Smart Education of China initiative are common. Policies have assisted the incorporation of digital resources in classrooms, which is consistent with this trend. Global trends in technology education. Digital tools, including online services, through recommendation systems and adaptive pathways, extend learning opportunities and promote self-regulated learning. However, difficulties persist, including inequality, access to information, problems with distraction, convoluted teaching methods, and other factors. The ability of teachers to offer timely guidance is shifting. This paper analyses the operational mechanisms of personalized digital resources learning, investigating how or why they can be changed in learn formats, etc., and psychological assistance. Furthermore, it says that the current practice poses a significant challenge. It offers recommendations for attaining a parity between learner autonomy and coordinated instruction guidance. The conclusions are intended to stimulate cross-cultural exchange and facilitate theoretical discussions by drawing on China and alleviating a bottleneck in research, which often emphasizes Western contexts, and have useful ramifications.
