Abstract
Educational technology evolves constantly, in line with the innovative technologies we implement, but always catering for the improvement of teaching and learning. For this, Smart Learning Environments (SLE) emerge as an optimal alternative to traditional teaching as, through ergonomics, an inclusive outlook which is bound to enhance the educational experience of every student is provided. The method utilized is based on a systematic review of the existing literature which has allowed us to analyze in depth a final sample of 19 documents after an initial review of 633, being these all the works published between 2013 and 2019.Therefore, the principal objective of the present work is carrying out an analysis of the state of the art in relation to ergonomics, inclusiveness and the SLE. The analysis of results is performed utilizing a semantic network, generated through atlas.ti. v.8, by means of which 3 categories, 10 codes and 33 quotes are extracted. Namely, the results reveal the emerging nature of the thematic line researched and how ergonomics is linked to inclusiveness and stands out as one of the most defining components when designing an educational proposal based on SLE.
Highlights
It is a fact proven in national and international reports (INE., 2019; UIT., 2015) that technologies permeate all spheres of the society of the 21st Century; something which can be seen in the evolution which has taken place in densely populated cities, as Buchem and Pérez (2013) point out
The present work analyzes the most recent scientific papers on Smart Learning Environments (SLE) from the perspective of ergonomics, in order to reflect on how this discipline influences the inclusive design of a Smart Learning Environment
We should highlight the lack of research works where SLE are studied from the perspective of ergonomics as an essential component when considering an inclusive outlook
Summary
It is a fact proven in national and international reports (INE., 2019; UIT., 2015) that technologies permeate all spheres of the society of the 21st Century; something which can be seen in the evolution which has taken place in densely populated cities, as Buchem and Pérez (2013) point out. This technology-influenced evolution leads to the concept of smart city, that is, the redefinition of the concept of city, through the implementation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), with the aim of improving its sustainability and quality of life of its inhabitants (García-Rubio, 2014; Sarmiento, 2016).
