ABSTRACT: This systematic review examines the methodological applications of Roblyer’s Technology Integration Planning (TIP) model and identifies existing gaps in the literature. Following the PRISMA 2020 framework, eight studies (2006–2024) were included. The PICOS framework was employed to systematically evaluate participant groups, intervention types, comparison structures, and reported outcomes. Findings reveal that the TIP model has been predominantly utilized with pre-service and in-service teachers to facilitate technology integration into instructional practice. The model positively impacted participants' Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) competencies and supported the design of lessons aligned with learning objectives. It also reframes technology not as a functional instrument but as a deliberate pedagogical strategy. However, effective implementation requires structured and time-bound support mechanisms. A critical gap was noted in the model's limited application at primary and secondary levels, as its use remains largely confined to higher education and in-service teacher training contexts.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the literature on Afterschool STEM education was reviewed from the Proquest database. Within the scope of the research, 25 theses and dissertations that met the criteria were examined. The year, type, a method used, data collection tools, study group and number, and keywords of the theses were systematically analyzed. The systematic review method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used to examine the graduate theses on Afterschool STEM.  As a result of the findings obtained by examining the theses related to Afterschool STEM; it was found that the first thesis study was a doctoral dissertation in 2003, there was a great increase in the number of theses published in 2015, and no thesis was published between 2004-2013, and most of the published theses were in the doctoral thesis type. In addition, in the distribution of theses according to the fields selected in the Proquest database, it was determined that most theses were published in the field of Science Education, qualitative and mixed research methods were used equally and mostly as research methods, and survey, interviews, and observation were mostly used as data collection tools. In the analyzed theses, data were collected mostly from Middle school students. When the number of participants in the theses was examined, the participants between 31-100 were mostly preferred in the studies. According to the keywords used in the theses, the words "education", "out of school time", "afterschool", "STEM" and "STEM education" were preferred.
