Dissemination of ICT Research in Ibero-America: an Approach to Trends in Education

Objective: The aim of this study is to identify some patterns in the publication of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) articles on education in Ibero-America. Theoretical Framework: This theme presents the main concepts and theories underpinning ICT research in the field of education, identifying predictive biometric studies in education. Method: The methodology adopted for this content research comprises bibliometric methods commonly used in the field. Data collection was carried out by consulting the SCOPUS database. Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed an increase in production and more so after the COVID-19 pandemic. An increase in collaboration between authors and the emergence of research topics associated with social networks is evident. Research Implications: The results indicate that academic institutions and researchers need to further foster collaborations to maximise research opportunities and to address global challenges more effectively. Originality/Value: This study contributes to identify patterns of production in the ICT area. It offers a list of descriptions that will provide guidance on those aspects that are less researched and that can be addressed in the future.
