Mapping Research Trends In Technology-Enhanced Learning In Higher Education: A Bibliometric Study

Abstract

The integration of technology in higher education has significantly transformed the landscape of learning and teaching methodologies, leading to the rise of Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL). This study employs bibliometric analysis to map the research trends in TEL and it is relation to differentiated instruction implementation from 2008 to 2024. By examining 108 documents sourced from Scopus, the study reveals key thematic areas, the growing impact of artificial intelligence (AI), and the proliferation of personalized learning approaches in higher education. The findings indicate that research output in TEL has increased by 22.58% annually, with a notable focus on AI and blended learning technologies. Co-authorship networks and keyword co-occurrence analysis further highlight the interdisciplinary nature of TEL research. These insights are valuable for educators, policymakers, and researchers seeking to understand the trajectory of technology integration in higher education. The study concludes by identifying potential areas for future inquiry, including the need for longitudinal studies on the impact of AI and digital equity in TEL.
