Abstract
Educational technology has become an increasingly important element for improving the teaching and learning process of students. To achieve these goals, it is essential that teachers have the skills they need to be able to introduce technology into their teaching practice. However, this is often overwhelming and stressful for many of them. The aim of this review was to find out how research on teacher stress and anxiety associated with the use of educational technology was proceeding. A systematic review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines through the following bibliographic databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus. Sixteen articles were found from the review. The main findings show that teachers present high levels of anxiety or stress due to their use of educational technology in the classroom. Among the conclusions, the need for research on different strategies to prevent the emergence of these anxiety and stress symptoms in teachers stands out.
Highlights
Studies on technologies in education have focused mainly on improving the learning processes of students
These situations culminate in conflicts between teachers, as well as in their relationships with colleagues or with other people involved in the environment, eventually producing, in the worst case, damaged personal and interpersonal relationships that affect their health
We describe the results achieved from the analysis of the documents; the results are presented using a visual representation of the analysis of keyword graphs extracted from different databases to be able to extract the main trends when studying teachers’ stress and anxiety related to the use of educational technology
Summary
Studies on technologies in education have focused mainly on improving the learning processes of students. Technologies are responsible for alterations in people’s lives, which are not always suitable since they disrupt personal and interpersonal relationships and even affect health. The inclusion of educational technology is demanded despite the lack of technical resources and equipment necessary for its correct didactic use. These situations culminate in conflicts between teachers, as well as in their relationships with colleagues or with other people involved in the environment, eventually producing, in the worst case, damaged personal and interpersonal relationships that affect their health
