Abstract:
The pedagogical innovations brought about by Covid-19 have emphasized the use of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) as a new pedagogical approach. As a result, researchers are focusing on the applicability of TEL to technical vocational education and training (TVET). The distinctiveness of TVET requires the use of TEL to provide the industrial-based skills needed for self-sufficiency and dependability. TEL-related studies in TVET are advancing, and TVET researchers are working diligently to keep up with current research progress. This article presents a systematic overview of ongoing research on the application of TEL in TVET. The research approach is based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) criteria and a systematic mapping study technique. The Scopus database was searched using a well-designed search protocol to locate, extract, and analyze all relevant publications. Several studies have suggested various uses and impacts of TEL; however, more appropriate studies are needed to assess the feasibility of these uses. The paper also explores the current state of the art in the use and impact of TEL in TVET, as well as any existing and future research gaps. To further understand, characterize, and evaluate the uses and significant impact of TEL in VET, more research is still needed.
