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.
