Role of Educational Technology in Promoting Sustainable Music Pedagogy: A Conceptual Framework

Kiran Padihar

The integration of educational technology into music education has significantly transformed traditional pedagogical practices, offering new opportunities for sustainable learning. This study aims to examine the role of educational technology in promoting sustainable music pedagogy through a systematic review of recent literature (2020–2026) and to propose a comprehensive conceptual framework. Sustainable learning in music education extends beyond skill acquisition to include long-term engagement, cultural preservation, emotional well-being, and lifelong learning.  The study adopts a systematic literature review methodology based on the PRISMA framework to ensure rigor and transparency. The findings reveal that technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), mobile learning applications, and digital platforms enhance accessibility, personalization, and learner engagement. However, existing research predominantly focuses on performance outcomes, often neglecting emotional, cultural, and sustainability dimensions. The study proposes a conceptual framework comprising four key dimensions: technological integration, pedagogical innovation, learner engagement, and sustainable outcomes. The framework emphasizes that effective integration of technology with pedagogy leads to meaningful and long-lasting learning experiences. The study concludes that while educational technology holds immense potential to transform music pedagogy, its success depends on balanced implementation aligned with pedagogical and cultural contexts. The findings provide a foundation for future research and practical application in sustainable music education.
