Abstract
The use of digital educational resources in the classroom represents an accessible and interactive opportunity to improve teaching-learning processes. The aim of this systematic review was to analyse the effects of using Kahoot! in primary school students. To this end, a bibliographic search was carried out in the Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed and Dimensions databases. We identified and evaluated 20 studies using the PRISMA literature review methodology. The results show that the use of this software can have positive effects on academic performance, in addition to promoting motivation, classroom dynamics and positive attitudes of both students and teachers. However, limitations associated with technical problems are also reported, such as the need for efficient connectivity and the lack of teacher training. These findings highlight the pedagogical potential of Kahoot! in primary education, while underlining the need for adequate technological conditions for its effective implementation.
