“…Secondly, scientific mapping has been carried out [66] to find out the particular and general themes of the research, as well as their thematic evolution [67]. This scientific mapping takes as main references, the h index and the number of citations [68], and as secondary indicators, the g, hg and q2 indexes [69], trying to offer as much information as possible about the metrics of the field of study [70]. Throughout this procedure, a PRISMA protocol has been applied to collect scientific output [71], and various criteria for inclusion in the control variables to show the results obtained [72].…”

Technological progress is causing terms such as "STEM", an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, to burst into the educational arena, marking a new era in the application of innovative and motivating teaching and learning processes. The objective of this research is to analyze the trajectory and the transcendence of the "STEM" concept in the educational field, having as reference the reported literature of Web of Science. The methodology applied in this research is based on bibliometrics, analyzing both the performance and the structural and dynamic development of the concept through a co-word analysis. The total number of documents analyzed is 4390. The results show that the scientific community mainly uses English and research papers to present their results. From 2015 onwards, the main lines of research are beginning to be established, which focus on "women" and "science". It can be concluded that the term "STEM" in education is beginning to have a greater incidence and impact on the processes of teaching and learning, especially in the field of science, although there are currently discrepancies between men and women in its use.

“…This study followed a bibliometric research methodology, taking as reference other previous studies of high impact literature [39][40][41][42][43][44]. The reason why this research technique was used is reflected in the potentialities that Scientometrics reports have in aspects related to quantifying, evaluating, and estimating the scientific evolution of the field of knowledge in question [45].…”

Nutrition-related education is necessary to protect and improve the health status of schoolchildren and to minimize the risk of future diseases. The objective of this research was to analyze the trajectory and transcendence of the concepts “education” and “diet” in the Web of Science literature. The methodology focused on bibliometry, analyzing both the performance and the structural and dynamic development of the concepts through a co-word analysis. A total of 1247 documents were analyzed, and the results show that scientific production experienced a turning point in 2009, in comparison to the level of production reported in previous years. The medium of papers and the language of English were the most common. In relation to the research topic, before 2014, scientific production focused on medical and disease-related aspects; however, since 2014, it has focused on disease prevention and feeding. It was therefore concluded that the theme “diet and education” has been researched for more than 20 years, although it is only in the last decade that it has become more relevant—particularly studies focusing on disease prevention and the type of food, specifically fruit, which is presented as the most outstanding issue for researchers in this field of knowledge.

“…Also, using the analysis protocols included in the PRISMA-P matrix as a reference, analytical tracking and document measurement techniques have been used through the establishment of different literary control variables. In the same way, the issues concerning AR and its research development have been located through scientific mapping [41,42].…”

Augmented reality is an emerging technology that has gained great relevance thanks to the benefits of its use in learning spaces. The present study focuses on determining the performance and scientific production of augmented reality in higher education (ARHE). A bibliometric methodology for scientific mapping has been used, based on processes of estimation, quantification, analytical tracking, and evaluation of scientific research, taking as its reference the analysis protocols included in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analyses for Protocols (PRISMA-P) matrix. A total of 552 scientific publications on the Web of Science (WoS) have been analyzed. Our results show that scientific productions on ARHE are not abundant, tracing its beginnings to the year 1997, with its most productive period beginning in 2015. The most abundant studies are communications and articles (generally in English), with a wide thematic variety in which the bibliometric indicators "virtual environments" and "higher education" stand out. The main sources of origin are International Technology, Education and Development Conference (INTED) Proceedings and Education and New Learning Technologies (EDULEARN) Proceedings, although Spanish institutions are the most prolific. In conclusion, studies related to ARHE in the WoS have become increasingly abundant since ARHE's research inception in 1997 (and especially since 2009), dealing with a wide thematic variety focused on "virtual environments" and "higher education"; abundant manuscripts are written in English (communications and articles) and originate from Spanish institutions. The main limitation of the study is that the results only reveal the status of this issue in the WoS database. Appl.

Despite this, current students still have certain training lacunae in related professional competences [11]. Therefore, it is required that teachers integrate of knowledge and skills linked to technopedagogy-that is, a new methodological paradigm in which the materials and resources used in the teaching and learning processes are mostly technological and digital. This will improve quality indicators and reproduce innovative learning experiences in the hands of educational technology [12].One of the technologies with great promise in the field of education is augmented reality (AR) [13,14], which allowing for unique instructional activities to facilitate learning [15]. Experts define this technology as an innovation that "allows the combination of digital information and physical information in real time through different technologi...
