Incorporating Technology into Instruction in Early Childhood Classrooms: a Systematic Review.

The findings from the included studies varied widely in their outcomes from reporting no difference between traditional instruction and technology-aided instruction to reporting significant difference between groups or reporting a functional relation between the technology-based intervention and the target behavior or skill. Studies that included students identified with neurodevelopmental disorders demonstrated a positive impact in the outcomes of students who experience an intervention that included technology-aided instruction. Future research is needed to identify critical components of effective technology-based interventions in early childhood educational settings.
