Pedagogy and Technology: Exploring Curriculum Mapping in Modern Educational Development

Abstract

This study delves into the dynamic intersection of technology and curriculum mapping in the realm of modern educational development. Employing a rigorous methodology encompassing systematic literature review and meta-analysis, the research illuminates four pivotal themes that collectively underscore technology's transformative potential in education. Firstly, the study reveals a pervasive trend in the integration of technology across diverse educational settings. Digital mapping tools, learning management systems, and multimedia resources have become essential components, redefining curriculum design, delivery, and assessment. Secondly, the advantages of technology-enhanced curriculum mapping are pronounced. Technology enhances resource accessibility, facilitates personalized learning experiences, and fosters collaborative curriculum development among educators. Thirdly, the study underscores the critical role of educators' perceptions and attitudes in technology integration. Positive attitudes and alignment with pedagogical goals significantly influence technology adoption. Lastly, the meta-analysis unequivocally demonstrates technology's substantial impact on student learning outcomes, with significant improvements in subjects like mathematics and science. This study underscores technology's transformative power in curriculum mapping, advocating for thoughtful integration, educator support, and the paramount goal of enhancing educational outcomes in the digital age.
