Educational Technologies (EdTech) refers to apps, coding robots, educational videos, websites, e-books, and games allegedly designed to promote children’s learning. EdTech is changing how children learn and will likely become increasingly common in future years. In this review, we focus on EdTech used in preschool and early primary school classrooms and at home, with typically developing children aged between 0 and 5 years. We review the current state of the literature, consider whether educational EdTech is aligned with the research, propose ways EdTech could be improved, suggest avenues for future research, and conclude with a set of recommendations for parents, educators, and pediatricians.

摘要

Educational Technologies (EdTech) refers to apps, coding robots, educational videos, websites, e-books, and games allegedly designed to promote children’s learning. EdTech is changing how children learn and will likely become increasingly common in future years. In this review, we focus on EdTech used in preschool and early primary school classrooms and at home, with typically developing children aged between 0 and 5 years. We review the current state of the literature, consider whether educational EdTech is aligned with the research, propose ways EdTech could be improved, suggest avenues for future research, and conclude with a set of recommendations for parents, educators, and pediatricians.
