Impacto del Covid-19 en la educación superior: análisis bibliométrico

[ES] El COVID-19 ha cambiado significativamente la docencia universitaria, tanto en la actividad de los alumnos, como en la forma de enseñar de los profesores. Desde marzo de 2020 hasta la actualidad han proliferado multitud de artículos que tratan de analizar el impacto del virus en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las universidades en todo el mundo. En este contexto, el objetivo de la ponencia es presentar las principales líneas de investigación en el ámbito de estudio de la educación superior tomando como referencia las restricciones de la pandemia en España. Para ello se realiza un análisis bibliométrico con el objetivo de conocer las orientaciones que han seguido los trabajos científicos y cuáles han sido las conclusiones más importantes. Este estudio ha comenzado con una búsqueda en Scopus de las palabras clave “higher education” y “covid 19” y se han obtenido 62 documentos que hacen referencia al territorio español. Entre los resultados obtenidos, destaca que las universidades de Salamanca, Valladolid y Granada son las más fructíferas en artículos sobre la influencia del COVID-19. Las temáticas donde abundan más trabajos se centran en el área de ciencias sociales, ambientales e informática. El escaso lapso de tiempo de su publicación (2020 y 2021) da lugar a que el documento con 63 citas es el que encabeza el ranking bajo este criterio. Por último, a partir de las palabras clave del conjunto de las 62 investigaciones utilizando el software VOSviewer se ha realizado una agrupación de tres clusters que permiten identificar las principales temáticas de los artículos analizados.Puertas Medina, RM.; Martí Selva, ML.; Guaita Martínez, JM.; Carracedo, P.

A Discipline-Spanning Overview of Action Research and Its Implications for Technology and Innovation Management

The iterative and learning character of action research is particularly beneficial for exploring complex socio-technical problems in technology and innovation management (TIM). In this respect, action research allows both rigorous and relevant research due to parallel solving of real-world problems, capability building, and gaining scientific insights. However, the use of action research within TIM research is surprisingly limited. Action research also is not a homogeneous research methodology since each research discipline, such as education and organizational science, has its own action research streams, which are often only loosely linked. A systematic overview of those action research traditions and specific best practices is still missing, which complicates a systematic transfer and use of action research in TIM. This article addresses this essential gap by building a cross-disciplinary overview of action research streams based on a bibliometric analysis using Scopus. The analysis includes relevant disciplines with action research traditions, their development over time, and the most influential journals, authors, institutions, and countries. Along with this discipline-spanning analysis, the article investigates particular TIM benefits and challenges of action research. The two key contributions of this article are: 1) a discipline-spanning overview of action research and its evolution and 2) an analysis of its implications for TIM research. These contributions build the basis for strengthening the use of action research in TIM. In the medium-term, action research has the capacity to link academia and industry more closely and, in doing so, assists important endeavours of translating more of our research outcomes into practice
