Technology-Based Learning Media on Students' Mathematics Learning Outcomes: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

The rapid advancement of information and communication technology has fundamentally transformed educational practices, including mathematics instruction. This study aims to systematically examine the contribution of technology-based learning media to improving students’ mathematics learning outcomes across various educational levels in Indonesia. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach was employed, with articles retrieved from the Google Scholar database using the Publish or Perish application. The search was restricted to publications from 2020 to 2025, and following the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 8 relevant articles were selected from an initial pool of 34. The findings consistently demonstrate that technology-based media positively and significantly enhances students’ mathematics learning outcomes. The media types identified include GeoGebra, animated video, interactive multimedia, e-learning platforms, and smartphone-based learning applications. Research activity was concentrated at the junior secondary level, particularly on geometry and algebra topics. A notable surge in publications occurred between 2020 and 2022, largely driven by the shift to distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond cognitive gains, technology-based media was found to improve student motivation, learning independence, and engagement. Most reviewed articles were indexed in SINTA 3 and SINTA 4, indicating substantial potential for elevating the quality and visibility of mathematics education research in Indonesia. This study concludes that the purposeful integration of technology-based media in mathematics learning, accompanied by improvements in teachers’ digital competency and equitable access to technological infrastructure, is essential for sustainable educational progress
