Abstract: Besides the increasing urgency to embrace digital literacy culminated by globalisation and the COVID-19 pandemic, educators also have a profound pressure to be more adept and agile in integrating modern technologies in their pedagogical repertoires. This paper aims to explore the attitudes of students toward digital and sustainable pedagogies in training with technology, a critical factor in understanding the efficacy and adoption of such educational strategies. This study highlights the profound implications and innovations from qualitative studies from previous scholars and conducted a survey to confirm the previous qualitative studies. The findings indicate that although digital pedagogies are essential for an interactive and collaborative atmosphere in the classroom, training and professional development are inevitable for the instructors as the key stakeholders. Notably, the paper affirms that blended learning is also a significant strategy for motivating learners and actively participating in the classroom.

Keywords: sustainable education; digital pedagogies; digital literacy; digital technologies; teacher training.
