Educational Transformations: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Behavior of AI and ICT in Scientific Production
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.36881/yachay.v14i1.1025Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), Learning Processes, Educational InnovationsAbstract
This bibliometric study aims to analyze the influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on scientific production related to learning processes and educational innovation. A systematic review of documents indexed in the Scopus database was conducted, covering the period from 2013 to 2023. The search strategy targeted titles, abstracts, and keywords, and data were analyzed using Bibliometrix and visualized through VOSviewer. Results reveal a consistent increase in scientific output since 2015, peaking in 2023. The most represented disciplines include Social Sciences, Computer Science, and Engineering. Authorial concentration patterns align with Lotka’s Law, while journal distribution follows Bradford’s Law. China, the United Kingdom, and the United States are among the most cited countries. It is concluded that the integration of AI and ICT in education has stimulated knowledge production and reshaped both research and pedagogical practices. However, challenges persist, including the digital divide, unequal knowledge dissemination, and the urgent need for adequate teacher training to ensure effective technological integration.
