Educational Digitization in Sweden and Spain, 1990-2030: A Comparative Study on Digital Transition, Deep Reading, Pedagogical Balance Europe

Digitalization has profoundly transformed education over the past few decades, changing the way we teach, learn, and access knowledge. This book analyzes the evolution of this process in two countries with very different trajectories: Sweden, a pioneer in the widespread implementation of digital technologies in classrooms, and Spain, which has followed a more gradual and balanced path.Through a historical overview spanning from the 1990s to projections for 2030, the book examines educational policies, government decisions, the role of teachers and families, as well as the impact of technology on reading comprehension, attention, and academic performance. It also addresses the shift led by Sweden toward reinstating the printed book as a priority resource and reflects on the lessons this experience offers the Spanish educational system.With an accessible approach grounded in data, studies, and objective comparisons, this book invites readers to understand one of the most important educational debates of our time: how to strike a balance between technological innovation and the benefits of reading on paper.
