3. METHODOLOGY
According to Imam et al. (2021), a well-designed survey includes a
thorough study of all existing studies on the subject or area of
interest. A methodical assessment of the literature seeks to provide
insight into a comprehensive examination of current existing literature
relevant to a wide range of problem formulations (Murti et al, 2021).
Scopus, ERIC (Education Resources Information Center), JSTOR (Journal
Storage), ProQuest, Sage Journals Online, Taylor & Francis Online,
SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online Library, PsycINFO and
Microsoft Academy were all searched extensively in order to perform this
research. Also, the following steps were followed (figure 1):
- Define the research question: For a successful systematic review, we
defined three research questions.
- Develop a search strategy: We carefully choose our keywords for
inclusion criteria as well as having a well-defined exclusion
criterion. Some potential keywords and search terms for this topic
include ”digital technology education,” ”incarcerated students,”
”prison education,” ”e-learning,” ”distance education,” ”online
learning,” and ”technology in education.”
- Conduct the search: We proceed to use the inclusion and exclusion
criteria to search for precise and relevant studies.
- Select the studies: After the search has been conducted, we screened
the studies for relevance. This involves reading the titles and
abstracts of the identified studies to determine if they meet the
inclusion criteria.
- Evaluate the quality of the studies: After selecting the relevant
studies, we evaluated the quality of the studies. This involves
assessing the methodology, sample size, and validity of the studies.
- Synthesize the results: Finally, the results of the selected studies
were synthesized. This involves summarizing the findings of each study
and identifying common themes and patterns.
- Interpret the results: The synthesized results were interpreted to
answer the research question.
- Communicate the findings: Finally, we communicate our findings of the
systematic review.
