Description
Summary:In an increasingly digitalized world, understanding the transformative potential of digital resources in the teaching and learning of mathematics is imperative. With the growing integration of these resources into education, this systematic review evaluates the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on the development of mathematical competencies in secondary education. A systematic search was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science (WoS) and ERIC databases for studies published between 2019 and 2024, adhering to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The inclusion criteria centered on interventions utilizing ICT to enhance mathematical competencies in secondary education. After applying rigorous quality criteria, 49 studies were selected for analysis. The review provides robust evidence from multiple studies demonstrating that ICT significantly improves mathematical competencies, conceptual understanding, and academic performance. These findings underscore the potential of ICT to facilitate personalized learning and formative assessment, effectively addressing individual student needs while enhancing engagement and motivation in mathematics. This review serves as a foundation for the design of future pedagogical interventions and the development of educational policies aimed at optimizing ICT use in mathematics education. Nevertheless, further research is required to examine the long-term impacts of ICT integration across diverse student populations and educational contexts.
