Adoption And Implementation Of Information And Communication Technology Into Geography Teaching: A Systematic Review

This paper summarizes an extensive literature review addressing the issues of adoption and integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in geography teaching. In November 2015, we performed a search of the literature indexed in SCOPUS (2000 to date) using geography, technology/ICT, and teaching as search terms. Then, we started an initial screening of titles and abstracts for deleting possible contributions that could result to be not in line with the research theme questions and outcomes to be studied. The aim of this systematic review is to provide a narrative synthesis of the evidences on 1) which technologies have been adopted into geography teaching in the last fifteen years, 2) how technology has been implemented into geography teaching, 3) what effects ICTs may have on the acquisition of geographic content and skills
