Resumen

Personal Learning Environments (PLE) in higher education, defined as integrated systems of resources and support, have been the subject of research to understand student-technology interaction in the educational process. Although research has progressed, significant gaps remain that require further attention and detailed exploration. Therefore, the objective is to examine research trends on personal learning environments in the context of higher education. To this end, a bibliometric analysis will be carried out in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, based on the parameters of the PRISMA declaration. As a main result, it highlights key years such as 2014, 2019 and 2021. Dabbagh N and Kitsantas A are notable references. The thematic evolution goes from social media to questionnaire validation and self-directed learning. PLE consolidates and online learning, learning technologies emerge. The keyword classification highlights the need to delve into existing concepts to guide future research.
