Abstract

This study presents a systematic literature review on the integration of technology in music education, with a particular focus on its role in knowledge construction, persuasive engagement, decision-making, and implementation. A comprehensive search of peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2023 was conducted, yielding studies that highlight how digital platforms, multimodal learning systems, and pedagogical frameworks reshape teaching and learning in music. The review reveals that technology not only enhances cognitive and creative dimensions of music learning but also acts as a persuasive tool that motivates students through interactive and personalized experiences. However, the effectiveness of technology integration is found to depend heavily on informed decision-making by educators and the quality of implementation, with challenges arising from insufficient training, infrastructural limitations, and the digital divide. The findings underscore the importance of professional development, ethical application of persuasive design, and balanced approaches that preserve traditional practices while embracing digital innovation. This review contributes to a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges of technology-enhanced music education and offers directions for future research and practice aimed at building equitable, sustainable, and transformative learning environments.
