Análisis bibliométrico de espacios de aprendizaje innovadores y flexibles en educación superior (2015-2025)

This study bibliometrically analyzes the scientific output on innovative and flexible learning spaces in higher education during the period 2015–2025. A systematic literature review was conducted using the Scopus, Web of Science, and ERIC databases, selecting 157 articles analyzed with bibliometric techniques using VOSviewer software. Indicators of scientific output, co-occurrence of terms, collaboration among authors and institutions, as well as geographical and temporal distribution, were examined. The results show sustained growth in scientific output, with a significant increase starting in 2020 and a peak in 2025. China leads in output by country, followed by Spain, Thailand, and Australia. Five main thematic areas emerged: human factors and learning contexts, digital teaching competencies, methodological innovations and smart environments, digital integration and transformation, and emerging technologies. The analysis demonstrates the maturity of the field and the growing relevance of innovative learning spaces in higher education, driven by active, student-centered methodologies and the integration of advanced digital technologies.
