Title
Technology in education
Abstract
This think piece was commissioned by the Global Education Monitoring Report (GEM
Report) Team to provide initial conceptual framing for the 2023 GEM Report, which
focuses on information and communications technologies in education, or educational
technology. The topics in this think piece were proposed by the GEM Report Team. As
much as space permits, the think piece takes both a close up and wide-angle approachtechnology.
The think piece focuses, as much as possible, on research outlining the educational
benefits of technology and organises educational technology along three axes: (1)
technology as a learning tool; (2) technology to deliver learning; and (3) technology to
support learning, outlining the uses, benefits, challenges, and additional areas for
research associated with each. It discusses the technology tools associated with each
category and poses additional research questions that the GEM Reporting Team may
wish to explore for the Global Education Monitoring Report.
