Impact of ICT on students with disability in the field physical education: a systematic review

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is increasingly frequent in Physical Education classes. The objective of this study was to carry out a systematic review of research evaluating the use of ICT by students with disabilities in Physical Education. A systematic review, covering the period 2009-2019, was carried out in the databases of the Education Resource Information Center (ERIC), PubMed, Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus. In the methodological aspect, the eligibility and selection criteria of the studies established in the PRISMA statement were considered. 14 studies were selected from a total of 478. The results are presented in two phases: in the first one, the general quantitative data of the extracted studies is analyzed. In the second phase, qualitative data is examined, and graphs of the most frequent keywords are presented. Among the conclusions, it is highlighted that there is a lack of production of high scientific impact in the last ten years (2009-2019). There is an increase in studies related to the use of smartphones, tablets, assistive technologies and virtual reality fostering cognitive, communicative and social development of these students.
