Tecnologías emergentes para la educación universitaria: un análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica en Latinoamérica.
Resumen
Este estudio presenta un análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica latinoamericana en tecnologías emergentes para educación universitaria (2019-2025). Mediante búsqueda sistemática en Web of Science, se analizaron 1,554 documentos con software R y bibliometrix. Los resultados muestran crecimiento exponencial del 751.1% en producción científica regional con México y Brasil como líderes (350 y 300 publicaciones respectivamente). El Tecnológico de Monterrey destaca como institución más productiva (294 publicaciones). El análisis identifica clusters temáticos, donde las tecnologías más estudiadas incluyen inteligencia artificial, realidad aumentada, gamificación y mobile learning. Se concluye que Latinoamérica se consolidó como región emergente significativa en investigación de tecnologías educativas, con marcos conceptuales distintivos centrados en el estudiante.
