Tendencias emergentes en realidad virtual para el aprendizaje de Química, Biología y Ciencias Ambientales: un enfoque bibliométrico

Description

La Realidad Virtual (RV) constituye una herramienta innovadora en la educación, al facilitar experiencias inmersivas que optimizan la comprensión de conceptos abstractos. En este contexto, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar las tendencias de investigación en el uso de la RV para la enseñanza de Química, Biología y Ciencias Ambientales mediante un enfoque bibliométrico. Para ello, se llevó a cabo un análisis bibliométrico basado en los estudios extraídos de la base de datos Scopus, utilizando la herramienta Bibliometrix, además de su interfaz web Biblioshiny, una solución robusta que facilita la creación de reportes visuales relevantes. La búsqueda se limitó a términos específicos relacionados con la educación en ciencias y la RV; se obtuvo un total de 256 documentos. Los resultados muestran un crecimiento relativo en la producción científica desde 2016, con un incremento significativo en 2024. Se identificaron los principales autores, instituciones y países que lideran la investigación en esta área, donde destacan Estados Unidos y China como actores claves. Además, el análisis de co-ocurrencia de palabras clave reveló que las líneas de investigación emergentes se centran en la integración de la RV con la gamificación, el aprendizaje inmersivo y la educación STEM. Este estudio proporciona una visión integral del panorama actual de la investigación en RV aplicada a la enseñanza de ciencias, destacando su evolución, actores principales y direcciones futuras, con el objetivo de contribuir al diseño de estrategias educativas innovadoras.

Abstract (English)

Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as an innovative tool in education, facilitating immersive experiences that enhance the understanding of abstract concepts. In this context, the present study aims to analyze research trends in the use of VR for teaching Chemistry, Biology and Environmental Sciences through a bibliometric approach. In this context, the present study aims to analyze research trends in the use of VR for teaching Chemistry, Biology and Environmental Sciences using a bibliometric approach. For this purpose, a bibliometric analysis was carried out based on studies extracted from the Scopus database, using the Bibliometrix tool, in addition to its web interface Biblioshiny, a robust solution that facilitates the creation of relevant visual reports. The search was limited to specific terms related to science education and VR, yielding a total of 256 documents. The results show an exponential growth in scientific output since 2016, with a significant increase in 2024. The main authors, institutions and countries leading research in this area were identified, highlighting the United States and China as key players. In addition, keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed that emerging lines of research focus on VR integration with gamification, immersive learning and STEM education. This study provides a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of VR research applied to science education, highlighting its evolution, key players and future directions, with the aim of contributing to the design of innovative educational strategies.
