The Negative Effects of Technology on Education: A Bibliometric and Topic Modeling Mapping Analysis (2008-2019) Vázquez Cano, Esteban Parra González, María Elena Segura Robles, Adrián López Meneses, Eloy Disadvantages Problems Technology Education Bibliometrics This research has been developed with the support of the I+D+I Project entitled: ‘‘Gamification and ubiquitous learning in Primary Education. Development of a map of teaching, learning and parental competences and resources “GAUBI”. (RTI2018-099764-B-100) (MICINN/FEDER) financed by FEDER (European Regional Development Fund) and Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities of Spain. This study aims to analyze the scientific research that has addressed the negative impact of technology in the educational field. The research is implemented from a methodological approach based on the bibliometric mapping of the scientific production registered in the Web of Science in the period 2008-2019. To do this, indicators of growth, production, impact, topics, keywords, journal references, and analysis of co-citations of authors and co-authors are analyzed. This bibliometric approach is complemented by the analysis of the density, frequency and degree of centrality of the main terms associated with the difficulties and problems of technology in education located in the abstracts and discussion of results in the period 2016-2019. For this purpose, graph theory is developed, using the sigma, cytoscape and graphology libraries. The results show that, among the most common disadvantages linked to the use of technology in education, are: privacy problems, discerning reliable and relevant information, the time required for the preparation of educational materials, the negative impact on academic performance of the students, the lack of resources for its implementation in the classrooms and the infoxication. Finally, it should be noted that in the last three years, the negative impact of technology in the psychosocial field and its impact on teaching-learning processes are beginning to be analyzed in greater depth. 2022-04-22T10:58:49Z 2022-04-22T10:58:49Z 2022-04 journal article Vázquez-Cano, E., Parra-González, M.ª E., Segura-Robles, A., & López-Meneses, E.
