Teaching Digital Competence in Higher Education. A Comprehensive Scientific Mapping Analysis with Rstudio

Abstract:

Using the Bibliometrix module of the Rstudio software and the PRISMA Publication Guide, it was developed a scientific mapping of the scientific literature from the Scopus database about teaching digital competence (TDC) in universities. The review was delimited through Eric’s thesaurus or its approximations and Boolean operators. The following research questions were raised: 1. ¿What is the scientific production per year, per author, affiliation, and country? 2. ¿Which are the main sources of scientific productions, their relevance and impact? 3. ¿Who are the authors with the most scientific productions identified in the search; the most cited; their production over time; their productivity and impact? 4. ¿In which countries does scientific production originate? 5. ¿What collaboration networks between countries, authors and institutions have been developed? and 6. ¿What are the most relevant publications? Spanish authors and institutions stand out in the study related to TDC in universities, expanding networks to Latin America, Europe, Anglo-Saxon countries, and the Asian continent. An adequate scientific mapping facilitates the review processes of scientific literature. The responsible action of researchers when integrating metadata in scientific productions allows a suitable use of exploitation tools and bibliometric analysis. In the future, it is proposed the need to develop studies aimed at the use of other tools that allow the generation of scientific maps in the context of TDC.
