What the literature leaves open
The present discourse on adaptive learning software focuses on technical aspects without accounting for other factors that impact their use in classrooms. There is a lack of studies on teachers' perspectives on adaptive learning technologies. The gap in the literature is the need for a comprehensive understanding of teachers' perspectives on adaptive learning technologies.
Behind the Scenes of Adaptive Learning: A Scoping Review of Teachers’ Perspectives on the Use of Adaptive Learning Technologies · 2024 · DOIThe need to explore the development of teachers' beliefs about technology in early mathematics classrooms. The lack of understanding of how physical and digital interactive learning environments influence teachers' beliefs.
Digital and Physical Interactive Learning Environments: Early Childhood Mathematics Teachers’ Beliefs about Technology through Reflective Writing · 2024 · DOIThe study does not provide a comprehensive analysis of the long-term effects of digital tool use on children's development. The study is limited to the analysis of digital tools in preschool education institutions and does not consider their use in other educational settings.
There is a need for a comprehensive analysis of the pedagogical potential of digital tools in preschool education. There is a lack of guidelines for the effective use of digital tools in preschool education institutions.
The existing scientific literature on the use of pedagogical technologies in primary education is not sufficiently systematized. There is a need for further research on the development of effective pedagogical technologies.
There is a need to improve pedagogical skills in the modern educational system. The current methods may not be sufficient to enhance student cognitive activity.
THE ROLE OF INTERACTIVE METHODS AND MODERN PEDAGOGICAL TECHNOLOGIES IN ENHANCING PEDAGOGICAL SKILLS · 2026 · DOIFuture studies should examine the long-term effects of technology integration on student learning. Future studies should investigate the impact of technology integration on teacher professional development. Future studies should explore the use of the SAMR model in other subjects and contexts.
Technology Integration in Middle School Mathematics: Teachers' Perspectives, Challenges, and Opportunities through the SAMR Model · 2026 · DOIThere is a lack of understanding of middle school mathematics teachers' experiences with technology integration. There is a need to examine the benefits and challenges of technology use in mathematics education. There is a need to provide suggestions for teachers and schools to improve technology integration.
Technology Integration in Middle School Mathematics: Teachers' Perspectives, Challenges, and Opportunities through the SAMR Model · 2026 · DOIBased on the results achieved and the limitations of the current study, some future research directions are suggested, including expanding the sample size and geographical scope of survey participants, combining this study with other qualitative or quantitative survey tools such as observation or testing, and exploring the scope of variables or studying specific variables in depth.
There is a need to explore the strategies adopted by teachers in rural schools to overcome challenges associated with technology integration. There is a lack of understanding of the challenges faced by teachers when integrating technology in their classrooms.
Strategies adopted by South African teachers to overcome challenges associated with technology integration in rural schools · 2026 · DOIThe beliefs influencing EFL teachers' utilization of technology have not been sufficiently examined, particularly in the Chinese context.
Exploring EFL teachers’ beliefs about technology integration: Applying the PBT model in Chinese higher education · 2026 · DOIThe lack of studies examining the impact of latest teaching methods enabled by education technology on modern teaching and learning processes. The need for a systematic framework to examine the influence of these methods on student engagement, academic performance, and teacher perceptions.
IMPACT OF LATEST TEACHING METHODS IN EDUCATION TECHNOLOGY: TRANSFORMING MODERN TEACHING AND LEARNING · 2026 · DOIThere is a need to understand how eTwinning projects assist teachers' needs. The paper identifies a gap in the existing literature on the impact of eTwinning projects on teachers' needs.
The lack of training and support for special education teachers to create accessible multimedia resources. The need for localised professional development initiatives that translate UDL principles into tangible practices using digital tools.
Nurturing Sustainable Learning: Implementing an Interactive Mobile Multimedia Applications (IMMAS) Training Program for Special Education Teachers to Enhance Inclusive Pedagogical Innovation · 2026 · DOIFuture research could explore the use of generative AI to support pre-service teachers in developing evidence-informed practices. Future research could also investigate the impact of the redesigned programme on pre-service teachers' ability to develop critical evidence-use skills.
There is a need for more research on the use of technology to support pre-service teachers in developing evidence-informed practices. The paper identifies a gap in the literature on the use of technology to support critical evidence-use in pre-service teacher education.
Notwithstanding the favourable findings, a key limitation of the study is the relatively small sample −51 teachers in total (27 in the IG and 24 in the CG)- which naturally restricts the statistical power and the extent to which the results can be generalised. These limitations indicate the need for further research on the long-term impact of the RPO, with larger samples for broader applicability.
Reciprocal peer observation for enhancing teachers’ digital competence: insights from educational robotics implementation · 2026 · DOIThe research also highlights the need for teachers to be trained about technology systems and educational methods which use multimedia content.
The Effectiveness of Educational Videography in Teacher Education: A Qualitative Approach · 2026 · DOIThere is a need for research on the experiences and perceptions of teacher trainees regarding the use and creation of educational videos.
The Effectiveness of Educational Videography in Teacher Education: A Qualitative Approach · 2026 · DOIBased on the findings of this study, it is recommended that teacher education programs provide more opportunities for teacher candidates to integrate Web 2.0 tools into science teaching practices.
Comparative studies to examine the effectiveness of different technology-integrated teaching approaches. Research on the impact of education technology on diverse learning needs and outcomes.
