Abstract

This systematic literature review (SLR) research examines the integration of educational technology, specifically the Learning Management System (LMS) and ClassDojo platform, in improving student motivation, parental engagement, and teacher competence in Indonesia globally. By analyzing 28 articles published between 2021 and 2025, the study highlights the positive impact of technology on learning accessibility, classroom management and student engagement. Key findings show that LMS and ClassDojo improve academic motivation, behavior, and real-time communication between teachers and parents. However, challenges such as the digital literacy gap among educators, infrastructure inequality, and uneven parental engagement remain. This study emphasizes the importance of teacher training, equitable access to technology and collaborative efforts among stakeholders to optimize digital learning outcomes. The results of this study are in line with the demands of 21st century education, which emphasizes adaptive, participatory and collaborative approaches to learning. Policymakers, educators, and educational institutions can use the findings from this study to create inclusive and long-lasting digital education policies.
