Abstract
The COVID-19 epidemic has greatly expedited the utilization of technology in the realm of education, resulting in the extensive implementation of totally online teaching approaches. These approaches have undergone thorough analysis in various scholarly articles in recent years. This study applies theories of technology acceptance and use in the educational process, employing Neutrosophic analysis to assess criteria for technology utilization in education. The study commenced by formulating an equation to investigate the patterns of technology uptake and use between 2010 and 2024. Additionally, a comprehensive evaluation of the latest literature since 2000 was conducted to identify prevailing trends. The findings suggest that usage plays a vital role in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and structural equations are used as a method to measure it. Neutrosophic analysis provides a thorough and sophisticated viewpoint on the integration of technology in education, emphasizing both the accomplishments made and the obstacles that still exist in this developing area.
