Abstract


This paper aims to identify the main topics on which scientific research has been oriented, from 2019 through 2022, about the use of educational technology in teaching and learning. The methodological approach used was qualitative. The sample size was n = 92 (scientific articles from Web of Science, Scopus, Eric, and Google Scholar databases). Thematic analysis was used for data analysis. From the analysis of the data, it has been established that the main topics on which scientific research is oriented are the use of educational technology (1) for the learning environment, (2) as a pedagogical approach, (3) for student assessment, and (4) in support of students with special needs. Some perspectives are also given regarding the orientation of scientific research in this field.
