Navigating the Digital Landscape in Education: A Comprehensive Analysis of Factors Influencing Learning Outcomes and Teaching Practices

Abstract

The study conducts an in-depth exploration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) integration in education. Grounded in theoretical frameworks such as constructivism, connectivism, and the Diffusion of Innovations theory, this study employs a meticulous literature review methodology. The findings reveal insights into the diverse impact of ICT on learning outcomes and teaching practices, emphasizing the importance of teacher effectiveness, collaborative use, and short, focused interventions. Addressing varying strengths of evidence in digital education studies, the research navigates through challenges such as limited impacts of computer use at the K-12 level and resource constraints. Serving as a valuable guide, this research offers a comprehensive overview for educators, researchers, and policymakers seeking to optimize ICT integration for enhanced educational experiences.
