Investigating the Effectiveness of Specific Educational Technologies on Student Learning Outcomes

Abstract

The integration of educational technologies into the learning environment has gained

significant attention in recent years, with various tools and platforms emerging to

enhance teaching and learning. However, the effectiveness of these technologies in

improving student learning outcomes is still a subject of debate. This paper examines

the impact of specific educational technologies—such as learning management systems

(LMS), adaptive learning platforms, virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR),

educational games, and mobile learning apps—on student engagement, motivation, and

academic achievement. Through a review of recent studies and empirical evidence, the

paper evaluates the strengths and limitations of these technologies and provides

recommendations for their optimal use in educational settings.
