Background: The use of technology in education is significantly increasing. Its primary focus is to improve educational standards and facilitate the learning process. Recent developments in educational technology, which emphasize accessibility, greatly influence the future of education and the learning process.
Purpose: This paper analyzes the recent trends in educational technology in India by reviewing the research articles published in the Indian Journal of Educational Technology (IJET) by NCERT from 2019 to 2024 (up to January 2024).
Method: The content analysis technique was used in order to achieve the research objective.
Results: The result of the study shows that online teaching and learning, as well as the use of ICT-based tools, were the most frequently discussed topics, indicating the need to investigate other aspects of educational technology as well. The study also highlights a strong lack of collaborative research practices among authors. The most commonly used sampling techniques were purposive sampling and random sampling, with most studies considering a sample size of fewer than 100 participants. For the majority of authors, the primary focus areas were teacher education and school education. Questionnaires were the most commonly used to collect data.
Conclusion: However, this study’s limitation was its exclusive analysis of research articles published in IJET-NCERT, excluding other journals. The study aims to help researchers, policymakers, and academicians develop a roadmap for promoting and conducting technology-based research.
