Abstract

In recent years, the educational field has witnessed growing attention to AI and its impact on teaching and learning. The paper presents a scoping review aimed at analyzing the main theoretical and empirical research trends and topics in Italian pedagogical literature from 2014 to 2024. The goal is to highlight              national scientific production, which is often underrepresented in international mappings that prioritize articles indexed in global repositories, overlooking the diversity of national pedagogical research. The analysis reveals an increasingly broad and diverse debate, documented in articles published in Italian Class broad and diverse debate, documented in articles published in Italian Class A ANVUR journals (11/D).
