Abstract

A systematic review was carried out on the production and publication of research related to Educational Innovation, Higher Education, Educational Strategies, Science, Technology and Latin America, using the PRISMA approach (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The objective of this analysis was to identify the main characteristics of the publications registered in the Scopus and WoS databases, as well as their scope in the study of the proposed variables. The initial search identified a total of 35 publications. Subsequently, the results were refined by using keywords such as EDUCATIONAL INNOVATION, HIGHER EDUCATION, EDUCATIONAL STRATEGIES, SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, and LATIN AMERICA in both search engines, resulting in the final selection of 16 documents, after excluding duplicates and those that did not meet the analysis criteria. The selected scientific publications were analyzed with the aim of knowing the key characteristics in the execution of research projects on education, especially those that implement technological tools and promote the development of competencies in students through the use of ICT in their professional training. In this way, it seeks to understand the impact of research and the publication of works aimed at measuring academic performance, strengthening digital competencies and creating educational strategies aimed at promoting science and technology in higher education students in Latin America.
