Aviation education is essential to the aviation industry because it ensures that professionals like pilots, air traffic controllers, maintenance specialists, cabin staff, and other aviation specialists acquire the skills, knowledge, and competences necessary to carry out their roles safely and effectively. In line with this, the increasing significance of technology in aviation education is evidenced by the varied contexts and applications discovered in the chosen studies. This digital revolution in aviation education has fundamentally transformed traditional training paradigms by adding state-of-the-art ICT solutions to satisfy the industry’s continuously changing demands and obstacles. Hence, this paper conducted a thorough analysis of academic works pertaining to the digital changes achieved in the field of aviation education via the use of ICT tools and approaches and the factors influencing the adoption of ICT in aviation education. Results showed that the the common ICT tools and techniques in aviation education encompass a diverse range, including TPACK framework, Virtual Reality, specialized computer tools, Big Data, IoT, Cloud Computing, Web 2.0, modular and interdisciplinary study programs, simulator technology, immersive technologies like VR and AR, communication technology, EBT, and AI. Concurrently, the adoption of ICT in aviation education is influenced by factors like social influence, effort expectations, enabling circumstances, motivation, perceived usefulness and ease of use, perceived behavioral control, organization culture, individual traits, content quality, cooperation, institutional-level factors, technological aspects, logistical considerations, and instructor attitudes and abilities.
