AI and Pedagogical Innovation in Higher and K–12 Education: A Keyword-Based Comparative Analysis of EIT 2025 Studies

This comparative synthesis compiles five Education and Information Technologies (EIT, Springer, 2025) research papers that collectively explore how AI, GenAI, metaverse technologies, and multimedia learning are reshaping educational practices across diverse contexts — from K–12 social studies to higher education writing and STEM learning environments.

Each paper has been distilled into concise, keyword-based descriptors covering the research problem, methodology, theoretical foundation, tools used, metrics, findings, and implications. The dataset is designed for cross-study comparison, thematic clustering, and meta-analysis of current educational technology trends.
