Abstract

This study examines the challenges and impacts of adopting digital technology in education. A systematic literature review was conducted using Scopus and Web of Science databases, focusing on publications from 2019 to 2024. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework guided the selection and screening process, resulting in the identification of 23 relevant articles. The analysis found several barriers for teachers, including inadequate infrastructure, limited technical support, insufficient training, and negative attitudes toward technology. Students experienced challenges such as low digital literacy, limited access to devices and internet connectivity, and reduced social interaction in online learning environments. Despite these issues, the findings also reveal positive impacts, including enhanced teaching efficiency, increased flexibility in learning delivery, and improved engagement through the use of interactive tools. The review highlights the need for targeted policies, continuous professional development, and fair distribution of resources to support effective and inclusive technology integration in Education. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on digital transformation in education, providing practical guidance for policymakers, educators, and researchers on how to effectively integrate technology into early learning settings.
