Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

Although the usage of technology tools in education has been a much-debated topic in recent years, there has been less research on the factors that may affect their effectiveness in preschool settings. The current study methodically collected 264 empirical publications that examine the correlation between technology tools and children's development, specifically focusing on learning performance. This was achieved using a bibliographic analysis that utilises the VOSviewer software. After conducting a systematic review, a total of 6 empirical research studies were evaluated using the OpenMEE programme and ATLAS.ti 9. Researchers are particularly interested in studying the bibliographic networks related to children's development, preschool environment, and technological utilisation. The meta-analysis results indicate that establishing and maintaining engaging and influential technological activities in the classroom can lead to improved individual development. Future research is recommended to investigate the role of various parties, such as families, as moderators in influencing children's development on integrating ICT into education. Encouraging the early use of technology in the classroom can support national policies focused on fostering communities with advanced digital skills and cultivating competent future leaders. © 2024, University of Malaya.
