Abstract

The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education has transformed teaching and learning processes across various disciplines, including physics. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the role of ICT in enhancing physics education, utilizing a semi-systematic literature review approach. The review synthesizes findings from multiple studies published over the last two decades, focusing on how ICT tools such as simulations, virtual laboratories, and interactive learning platforms have been employed to improve student engagement, understanding, and performance in physics. The analysis reveals that ICT has not only made physics concepts more accessible and understandable but has also enabled personalized and adaptive learning experiences. Furthermore, the review identifies key factors that influence the successful integration of ICT in physics education, including teacher competency, institutional support, and the availability of resources. Challenges such as the digital divide and resistance to change are also discussed. The findings suggest that while ICT has considerable potential to enhance physics education, its effectiveness is contingent upon careful implementation and ongoing support. The paper concludes by offering recommendations for educators, policymakers, and researchers on how to optimize the use of ICT in physics education to achieve better educational outcomes. This review contributes to the growing body of literature on educational technology by providing a nuanced understanding of the impact of ICT on physics education, thus offering a valuable resource for future research and practice
