Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the current situation in this field and shed light on future research by bringing together the findings of academic studies that address visual arts education and technology integration from different perspectives. This systematic literature review study aims to understand the trends, gaps and recommendations in the field by analysing existing scientific studies in line with certain themes. The sample of the study consists of 18 research articles published in the last 10 years (between 2015-2024) and included in SSCI, SCI, ACHI, ESCI.

The research analyses how innovative technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, hologram technology, digital curation tools and mobile devices are used in educational processes and the effects of this use on student achievement, motivation, creativity and teacher competencies. The findings reveal that the integration of technology into visual arts education facilitates students' understanding of abstract concepts and improves their critical thinking and creativity skills. However, technical infrastructure deficiencies, differences in teachers' level of competence and pedagogical challenges are among the factors limiting the full effective use of technology. The study emphasises that in order to strengthen the role of technology in education, teachers should be supported with professional development programmes and technology infrastructure should be improved.
