Effectiveness of the Use of Technological Tools in Higher Education in Ibero-American Universities: A Systematic Review of Evidence from Ibero-American Countries

This systematic review analyzes the effectiveness of technological tools in Higher Education across Ibero-American universities. The study aims to identify evidence-based guidelines for the effective integration of technology within Ibero-American Higher Education institutions, and to evaluate how these tools contribute to the professional training of future graduates. A systematic search was conducted in the Scopus database between 14 July and 16 July 2025, covering publications from 2016 to 2025. Applying the PRISMA 2020 methodology and predefined eligibility criteria, a final sample of 19 studies was selected for synthesis. A structured risk of bias assessment was performed, classifying the included studies into low, moderate and high-risk levels. The analysis shows that 84% of the analyzed studies report a positive impact on academic development, supporting the need for pedagogically driven technological integration and sustained institutional support to maximize educational outcomes.
