Educational Transformation Through Emerging Technologies: Critical Review of Scientific Impact on Learning

Educational transformation is increasingly influenced by emerging technologies, which offer unique opportunities to redefine learning. This study aims to critically analyze the scientific production related to the use of emerging technologies in the educational field, focusing on their impact on the teaching–learning process. A systematic review of the scientific literature was carried out, analyzing a total of 1567 articles from 2000 to 2024. The results reveal that, although there is a growing interest in the integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence and augmented reality, concerns also emerge about their implementation and effectiveness. In addition, research trends are identified that suggest a multidimensional approach to the use of these technologies, highlighting the importance of teacher training and the educational context in which they are applied. The conclusions indicate that, to maximize the positive impact of these technologies, an informed pedagogical approach that considers the advantages and challenges they entail is essential. This analysis provides a foundation for future studies and guidance for educators and policy makers in effectively incorporating emerging technologies into the educational environment.

Abstract

Educational transformation is increasingly influenced by emerging technologies, which offer unique opportunities to redefine learning. This study aims to critically analyze the scientific production related to the use of emerging technologies in the educational field, focusing on their impact on the teaching–learning process. A systematic review of the scientific literature was carried out, analyzing a total of 1567 articles from 2000 to 2024. The results reveal that, although there is a growing interest in the integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence and augmented reality, concerns also emerge about their implementation and effectiveness. In addition, research trends are identified that suggest a multidimensional approach to the use of these technologies, highlighting the importance of teacher training and the educational context in which they are applied. The conclusions indicate that, to maximize the positive impact of these technologies, an informed pedagogical approach that considers the advantages and challenges they entail is essential. This analysis provides a foundation for future studies and guidance for educators and policy makers in effectively incorporating emerging technologies into the educational environment.
