Abstract
This research presents a scoping review on student engagement with digital learning resources in university physics education, aiming to identify emerging patterns in technology-mediated learning practices. Through a systematic search in academic databases (2015–2025) and inductive thematic analysis, 50 international studies were analyzed. Findings reveal five emergent categories of student use: (1) virtual experimentation, (2) interactive visualization of abstract concepts, (3) online collaboration, (4) self-assessment with immediate feedback, and (5) development of metacognitive and digital skills. These results show that students use digital resources actively and strategically, beyond mere access. However, pedagogical fragmentation persists: technological availability alone does not ensure deep learning without intentional instructional design. This project was developed and funded by Universidad Argentina J. F. Kennedy.
