Digital competences, use of ICT and innovative and emerging technologies in higher education. A bibliometric analysis

Vanessa Miguel-Barrado, Esteban Pérez-Calderón, Jorge Manuel Prieto-Ballester

Resumen


In recent decades, the advance of digitalization has impacted virtually all sectors of society, including the educational environment. Consequently, the learning and teaching process has changed due to innovations, technology and emerging ICT tools. The aim is to analyze the current state and evolution of scientific research on digital innovations in higher education. Using VOSviewer software, 697 and 755 articles published in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, respectively, between 2014 and 2023 were analyzed. The results support that the role of digital competences is having a progressive growth in the scientific literature, reaching the highest registration of articles in 2019. In conclusion, it is considered that innovation in all its aspects is a key factor in education and, therefore, it is necessary to continue researching this topic.
