Abstract
In recent years, digital technologies have played a key role in transforming education, including physical education. This research aims to provide an overview of the application of technology in education, as well as explore its opportunities and challenges in physical education. This study uses secondary data from the Scopus database, consisting of 350 articles published between 1980 and 2024. The selection of articles is based on inclusion criteria that include the keywords "education," "technology," and "physical education" in the title, abstract, or keyword, as well as being included in the social sciences area. The analysis was conducted using the R and VOSviewer applications. The first publication appeared in 1980, with an upward trend starting in 2012 till now. Lviv Polytechnic National University is the most relevant affiliate, while Retos is the journal with the most publications. "Sport, Education, and Society" is the most impactful journal. The most relevant author is Blavt, O., while Goodyear, V.A. is the author with the greatest impact. The keyword "multimedia system" emerged in 2019 and peaked in 2023, along with the keyword "e-learning." The VOSviewer analysis identified three research clusters, and topics such as 'teacher experience' and 'challenges' were found to be still rarely explored, thus offering future research opportunities. The results of this study are useful as a reference for academics and physical education practitioners who want to research the topic of educational technology.
