Architecting The Intelligent Classroom: A Systematic Review and Framework for IoT-Enabled Learning Environments
Year: 2025
Type: review
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: The rapid integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies in educational environments represents a critical paradigm shift in addressing the fundamental limitations of traditional classroom management systems. This comprehensive survey systematically analyzes 36 high-quality research studies from 2019-2025 to provide a coherent framework for understanding IoT-based smart classroom management systems. Our unique contribution lies in synthesizing fragmented research across multiple domains into an architectural model that identifies the essential components, implementation challenges, and effectiveness metrics for smart classroom solutions. Key findings reveal that IoT-driven attendance systems significantly reduce administrative burden, while environmental monitoring systems improve student concentration by creating optimal learning conditions. However, substantial barriers persist, including high implementation costs for resource-constrained institutions and data security concerns, with many systems lacking comprehensive privacy frameworks. This paper concludes by presenting a research agenda that prioritizes cost-effective implementation strategies, standardized interoperability protocols, and longitudinal impact studies to advance this rapidly evolving field.
