Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, digital technologies are playing an increasingly transformative role in how teaching and learning occur across all levels of education. From early childhood to higher education, innovative tools such as artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, learning management systems, gamified applications, educational robotics, and mobile learning platforms are reshaping classroom dynamics and pedagogical strategies. Hence, we are pleased to propose this Special Issue titled “Emerging Technologies in Education: Exploring Their Impact on Teaching and Learning”.
This Special Issue aims to bring together a collection of research papers and reviews from diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives, exploring how emerging technologies are being integrated into classroom settings to enhance learning outcomes, teaching effectiveness, and student engagement. We welcome contributions that focus on both theory and empirical research/practical implementations in real educational contexts.
We are particularly interested in studies addressing (but not limited to) the following topics:
- AI-driven tools and personalized learning in the classroom;
- Educational uses of virtual and augmented reality;
- Mobile and ubiquitous learning environments;
- Gamification and digital game-based learning;
- Technology-enhanced assessment and feedback systems;
- Teacher digital competencies and professional development;
- Equity, ethics, and accessibility in technology integration;
- Interdisciplinary applications of technology in language, STE(A)M, and educational robotics;
- Student perceptions and engagement in technology-mediated classrooms;
- Hybrid and blended post-pandemic learning models.
This Special Issue aims to make a significant impact on both research and theory, supporting the development of innovative, evidence-based educational strategies. By synthesizing cutting-edge findings, tools, and ongoing challenges, this Issue will serve as a valuable resource for educators, researchers, policymakers, developers, and all those interested in the future of technology-enhanced learning.
