The areas of interest in educational technology have been changing in relation to the evolution of the discipline. Technological developments and new educational approaches have allowed it to undergo an evolution in terms of topics, approaches and research methodologies. This article presents a study of the areas of interest and research topics in this discipline, through the analysis of its evolution, from instructional design and comparative studies, through the new approaches that integrate the different learning theories, to the impact of the development of new teaching modalities, such as e-learning. The analysis of the current state allows us to compile possible lines of future research in terms of subject matter, methodological approach, contexts and participants, which may be of interest to the scientific community.

This article focuses on gender equality as one of the most relevant objectives of the educational system to alleviate gender violence and combat stereotypes. At the same time, ICTs have become a very important educational tool in a digital society like the one where we live. Around these two topics we conducted this research whose purpose is, from the scientific production of the last six years, to analyze the educational practices in formal contexts that deal with gender equality and ICTs (infant, primary, secondary and higher education). The research design is a systematic review, based on the PRISMA statement and the PICoS strategy, using the 2013-2019 search period. After a screening process of a total of 90 documents, 18 papers were found that cover both study topics (gender and ICTs). A content analysis supported by semantic networks was performed, using Atlas.ti v.8. Among the main results, we highlight that most of the good practices in the different educational levels are related to the use of web 2.0. and STEM competences. Finally, we recommend the design of proposals that work on gender through ICTs, with the "smart classroom" as an interesting suggestion that is part of the emerging pedagogies.

Nowadays, there are experiences with ICT in the hospital schools. Nevertheless, there have been few studies about how technology can improve educational processes and the premises to consider. From this starting point, we present in this paper, a proposal for curriculum integration of ICT for hospital teachers. It is the main contribution of this paper along with the exhaustive analysis of previous studies. This evaluation research has tried to contribute useful knowledge to meet the needs of a real educational context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
