Abstract
This research article investigates the multifaceted paradigm of digital
transformation (DT) in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), analyzing its
impact on pedagogical models, administrative efficiency, and institutional
governance. Design/methodology/approach: The study synthesizes theoretical
frameworks, including the Triple Logical Framework and the Technology
Acceptance Model (TAM), with a review of emerging technologies such as
Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Metaverse, and Blockchain. It employs a qualitative
analysis of global case studies to identify best practices and systemic
barriers. Findings: The findings reveal that while technological integration
significantly enhances institutional performance, successful DT is primarily a
cultural and strategic shift rather than a purely technical one. Key challenges
include persistent digital divides, faculty burnout, and ethical concerns
regarding AI. Conversely, opportunities lie in personalized learning, secure
credentialing via blockchain, and immersive simulations. Originality/Value:
This article provides a contemporary (2024–2025) synthesis of DT in HEIs,
offering a comprehensive six-pillar framework for sustainable implementation
and addressing the specific needs of Society 5.0.
