Estudio de vigilancia científica sobre los factores claves en el desarrollo de dispositivos de IoT para aplicaciones en educación

Abstract

Education is considered a determining factor in the development of communities and the improvement of the quality of life of the population. Over the past decade, technological advancements, particularly in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT), have revolutionized educational methodologies at all levels. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented significant challenges for virtual education. Despite these advancements, there is a shortage of studies that assess scientific production using bibliometric indicators in this context. For this reason, this study focused on the scientific surveillance of factors related to the development of IoT devices in education. To achieve this goal, scientific production related to ’factors of IoT development in education’ was evaluated using bibliometric indicators during the period 2013-2022. The scope of this research is descriptive and is based on a qualitative approach. A systematic review process was conducted using the PRISMA methodology, and the biblioshiny tool from R Studio was used. Article selection was based on the keywords ’IoT,’ ’education,’ and ’systematic analysis.’ The results of the analysis reveal a growing trend in the production of articles related to the topic from 2013 to 2022. The most prominent journal in this context is ’Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing,’ which has published three relevant articles. Additionally, the most globally cited article is Al-emran M.’s in 2020, titled ’Stud Comput Intell,’ with a total of 78 citations. The authors who have made the most significant contributions to this field are Klinger T. and Madritsch C. Regarding the contribution by countries in scientific production, China leads with a total of 7 articles, and collaborations between countries are evident, with Kenya and Malaysia standing out. It is concluded that, among the nine technologies identified in the analysis, IoT is used in 24 documents, followed by cloud and artificial intelligence with 11 and 9, respectively. However, the preferred technology for communications is wifi, and the one chosen by several researchers for data acquisition is embedded systems
