Evaluating the Impact of Teacherr’s Use of Emerging Technologies on Classroom Management

Abstract

The use of technology in education has transformed learning and teaching processes, making them more effective, efficient, and accessible. The rapid development of technology has introduced innovative approaches in various areas, fromclassroom settings to assessment processes. Tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), virtual reality(VR), and gamification enrich learning processes while positively impacting classroom management. These tools aim totransform traditional classroom management practices by increasing student participation and motivation. The purpose
of this study is to identify the views of 12 primary school teachers in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)regarding the impact of using emerging technologies on classroom management. The study employed the phenomenologydesign, one of the qualitative research methods. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview form andanalyzed using descriptive analysis, resulting in the formation of themes. The findings revealed that assistive technologieshave both positive and negative effects on classroom management, that teachers have limited competence in using thesetechnologies, and that classrooms are not adequately equipped for technological use. It was recommended that teachers
receive training on this subject.
