Using the PRISMA guidelines, 18 studies were selected and a thematic analysis approach was used to identify research trends, thematic shifts, and future directions. Five themes emerged: open pedagogy and co-creation; integrated pedagogical strategies; empirical achievement and equity; behavioural and identity typologies; and barriers to adoption. The findings indicate a clear shift in OER research from access-oriented discussions towards pedagogically grounded and empirically informed studies. Directions for future research are proposed to support meaningful and sustainable OER implementation.}, year = {2026}, month = {05/2026}, language = {English}, journal = {Revue internationale des technologies en pédagogie universitaire}, volume = {23}, issue = {1}, pages = {1-17}, country = {Malaysia}, doi = {10.18162/ritpu-2026-v23n1-03}, url = {https://ritpu.ca/articles/view/590}, issn = {1708-7570}, refereed = {yes}, keywords = {open educational resources, OER, education, learning outcomes, future directions, systematic review}, }
