This systematic review examines how recent scientific literature has employed TAM to investigate educational technology. A total of 55 JCR-indexed articles published between 2017 and 2021 were selected through a PRISMA-guided process following the PICOC framework and predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings reveal increasing scholarly interest, with a predominance of quantitative, cross-sectional designs and studies conducted mainly in higher education contexts. The reviewed works primarily analysed TAM in relation to digital learning environments, specific tools and platforms, pedagogical applications, and the determinants of technology acceptance. Overall, the literature confirms that TAM remains a robust and consistent framework for interpreting technology acceptance in educational settings.17 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Gil, R. et al., 2026http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Mètodes educatiusInvestigació quantitativaTecnologia educativaEducational methodsQuantitative researchEducational technologyHow is technology accepted in the classroom?
