Description
Summary:The purpose of this study is to perform a meta-analysis of the state of knowledge of ICT-based education in Mexico and Latin America in the last decade. Prior to seeking information, general lines of knowledge application and categories were defined. The results indicate that studies are mostly focused on virtual learning resources and their contribution to education. Similarly, it was found that 80% of studies are qualitative, with quantitative or mixed studies accounting for only a fifth of work on the subject. In Mexico, 46% of research addresses higher education; this figure is 62% in Latin America. Gaps were found in knowledge generation in parents’ digital skills, student training in ICT competency, educational outreach with businesses, and disability education.
