Abstract

Purpose This systematic review paper aims to examine extant empirical research involving educational technology during COVID-19 to provide an aggregated analysis of how the pandemic has influenced educational technology research. Design/methodology/approach Using a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis systematic review and an integrative review methodology, 50 primary research studies were selected from ten top-ranked educational research journals. These studies were reviewed regarding research purposes, methodologies, instruments, educational level, geographical distribution, and findings of the studies. Findings The findings reveal four emerging themes: influencing factors, effectiveness, challenges and teachers. The majority of the studies focused on higher education. Quantitative research design based on a questionnaire was the most adopted method of investigation by researchers. Research limitations/implications Search parameters focused on the top 10 journals in the field of educational technology. Although this provides a level of quality, it narrowed the search. Practical implications For practitioners and researchers, this study provides a summary of the field to better understand what knowledge we have gained on the use of educational technology to enable a more agile, knowledgeable response to education in future emergencies. Originality/value This systematic review is unique in examining how the pandemic has influenced educational technology research. It also provides insight into gaps in the research that future researchers can use as a springboard to enable a more knowledge and a more agile approach to future emergencies.
COVID-19大流行期间的教育技术研究
目的:本系统综述论文旨在对COVID-19期间涉及教育技术的现有实证研究进行调查,汇总分析疫情对教育技术研究的影响。设计/方法/方法采用系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目系统评价和综合评价方法,从10个排名最高的教育研究期刊中选择了50项主要研究。从研究目的、方法、工具、教育水平、地理分布和研究结果等方面对这些研究进行了综述。调查结果揭示了四个新兴主题:影响因素、有效性、挑战和教师。大多数研究集中在高等教育上。基于问卷的定量研究设计是研究者最常用的调查方法。研究限制/启示搜索参数集中在教育技术领域排名前10位的期刊上。虽然这提供了一定的质量,但它缩小了搜索范围。对于从业者和研究人员来说,本研究提供了该领域的总结,以更好地了解我们在使用教育技术方面获得了哪些知识,以便在未来的紧急情况下对教育做出更敏捷、更有知识的反应。原创性/价值本系统综述在研究大流行如何影响教育技术研究方面是独一无二的。它还提供了对研究差距的洞察,未来的研究人员可以将其作为跳板,以获得更多的知识和更灵活的方法来应对未来的紧急情况。

期刊介绍: Interactive Technology and Smart Education (ITSE) is a multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, which provides a distinct forum to specially promote innovation and participative research approaches. The following terms are defined, as used in the context of this journal: -Interactive Technology refers to all forms of digital technology, as described above, emphasizing innovation and human-/user-centred approaches. -Smart Education "SMART" is used as an acronym that refers to interactive technology that offers a more flexible and tailored approach to meet diverse individual requirements by being “Sensitive, Manageable, Adaptable, Responsive and Timely” to educators’ pedagogical strategies and learners’ educational and social needs’. -Articles are invited that explore innovative use of educational technologies that advance interactive technology in general and its applications in education in particular. The journal aims to bridge gaps in the field by promoting design research, action research, and continuous evaluation as an integral part of the development cycle of usable solutions/systems.
