technology-mediated learning, mobile application, smartphone application, Histology, Biology educationAbstract
Leveraging technology is an integral component of any 21st-century learning. Researchers and practitioners are still working on ways to improve student learning with the help of technology as a learning tool. Therefore, this study was carried out to study the effects of integrating technology-mediated learning in biology education using a systematic literature review (SLR) by employing the PRISMA technique. The analysis of selected literature found that the integration of technology-mediated learning has a significant positive impact on student's academic achievement and learning experience. Further research can be carried out by investigating the impact of technology-mediated collaborative learning on learning experience and academic achievement in histology. Several advantages and features of technology-mediated learning are identified by classifying the learning methods, approaches, and delivery methods.
