Abstract:
Educational methodologies underwent a substantial change following the World Health Organisation's declaration of the SARS-CoV-2 virus as a pandemic. This situation meant that the population of several countries was confined to their homes and, consequently, training processes evolved towards more digitalised systems. As a result of this change, we found an influx of publications on a multitude of subjects in which different areas were worked on from specific methodological approaches. The aim of our work was to find out which topics were the ones with the highest academic production in journals indexed in the Scopus database. For this purpose, a bibliometric analysis of 973 documents containing the concepts "methodology", "education" and "covid" and their derivatives was carried out. The results show that the major axis of publications deal with university education, e-learning and b-learning; but, topics related to the feeling of well-being and leadership skills have the role of driving or promoting research topics.
